that guy is a joker huh? all that ricer stuff was FUnny. well, I dont think it will help much but, sounds like it was fun, maybe it has some sort of placebo effect.

But, anything to make your car breath better, means it's going to burn more gas.Period.

from the bottom of the website

Future mods: Putting on some 'Type-R' stickers even thought my car isn't a 'Type-R' car and has a steering wheel on the left side. Putting a giant WING on my FWD car (so I can make believe they really help me with cornering even though it won't). Adding an exhaust tip which doesn't help my car breath better in any way but believing it does. Adding stickers of mod products I don't even have. Adding at least 4 pairs of foglights, so I can see better at night since I'll be moving so fast. Get a hood scoop carbon fiber hood for my non-existent turbo (Which I have order, but didn't come into the shop yet). Getting some Altezza lights since I wanna be unique, just like everyone else. Adding some Kanji that I don't understand but believe it means exactly what the guy putting it on tells me. Cut my springs to lower my car and end up with a ****ty suspension. Get some larger rims with low profile wheels without changing the gearing ratio to compensate for increase/decrease diameter of wheels. Proudly proclaim that my car has V-TEC, like it's something really special for my car even though Honda uses that on minivans. Add some red/yellow decals since Red/Yellow means speed. And last but not least, put an offset racing line down the front of my hood. Looking at all these future mods I've listed, that means I'll be bumping car from 240-horsepower to around 400-horsepower. That way, I can beat out 500-horsepower Dodge Vipers since we all know Japanese horsepower is better than American horsepower. All these mod will make my car run 10-second quarter miles. Oh yeah, if you actually think my listed future mods really help out my car in terms of performance, you are a 'Ricer'. That is a bad thing. Have a nice day^_^

I bet even the Honduh ricers are laughing at this even being discussed on a page dedicated to Maxima's. Reminds me of my home-made ram-air "kit" that I made for my S-10 when I was 16. I wish I had pics: maybe I could sell my idea on Honduh.org...

At least the guys knows what he's full of, judging by the last paragraph!

those sun visors block UV rays which the inside of your car traps. its like global warming is taking place in your car when the sun beats down on it. It does nothing for blocking engine heat (not a UV ray)
