some people think it's rice? naw, now the following picture IS rice IMHO

The reason it would be considered "rice" is that it's non functional. The vents are placed in the wrong location and facing the wrong direction to do anything useful like cool the brakes or provide downforce(can vents do that?).

I don't have a problem with it, in fact I don't have a problem with any ONE thing that is "rice", it's when a car is over-done, i.e. trying to pack as much garbage on one car as possible, that when I call "RICE!"

Props on fabbing it yourself, looks good. Wish I had you around to do my body work.

well they could help me because I have rolled fenders and not plastic in the wheel well so all that air has not were really to go so they would help get rid of the little bit of drag

Looks good man. I love reading and looking at these new DIY's. Good job!

[90AccordSiR]

way nice man the fact that you did it yourself makes it way not rice. Damn nay-sayers

Looks good, and craftsman ship is nice also. But I still dont think they are functional. When someone cuts a hole in the inner fenderwell to the engine bay and routes it to the fender.. then it'll be funtional
