Default Why is it that everyone gets a CF hood before power mods???

Yah Ive noticed that pretty much everyone will go buy a CF hood before their car is even fully bolted...Ill be at a meet or whatever and see guys with an exhaust, intake, coils and a cf hood. The thing is hondas are light as it is, a cf hood should be one of the last things really need to do. Look at every pic post for example. 90% of the people have a cf hood and their car is barely modded. Makes no sense. I think most people are posers and just trying to go for the look fkn sheep.

for looks...i doubt it'd make the car feel much faster by going with a cf hood over stock anyways.

Why do people do anything? why put $3000 rims on a $1500 car? why put a jdm front end if it serves the same purpose as the usdm one? why do people race fwd cars even though they arent desighned for performance? why did you make this thread?

Why worry about what others do? let them do what they want, and you do what you want.

My car got wrecked, and it made more sense to buy a cf hood for the same price as it would to get a stock one painted.

Well most people like to make their car look nice first and have it fully prepared before they do a swap or any type of performance issues, that way it will be more appreciated

Exactly.

Maybe it would be easier if we just stickied this at the top of this forum, as it seems that there's another "I'm cool, your cars suck because of 'X' reason" thread about every week or so. That way, someone wouldn't have to start these threads all the time.

People do it for looks. Some people thinks it looks good. Including me. I admit I have a little bit of ricer in me and I don't care.

Oh, btw I don't have a CF hood but I do have a S2000 push button start in my Integra which is more ricey than a CF hood.

Aha
Its dat real
Yo, why is Jadakiss as hard as it gets
Why is the industry designed to keep the artist in debt
And why them dudes ain't ridin' if they're part of your set
And why they never get it poppin' but they party to death
Yea, and why they gon give you life for a murder
Turn around only give you eight months for a burner, it's goin down
Why they sellin' *****s CD's for under a dime
If it's all love daddy why you come wit your nine?
Why my *****s ain't get that cake
Why is a brother up North better than Jordan
That didn't get that break
Why you ain't stackin' instead of tryin' to be fly
Why is rattin' at an all time high
Why are you even alive
Why they kill Tupac n' Chris
Why at the bar you ain't take straight shots instead of poppin Cris'
Why them bullets have to hit that door
Why did Kobe have to hit that raw
Why he kiss that *****
Why

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]
All that Ive been givin'
Is this pain that I've been living
They got me in the system
So why they gotta do me like that
Try'd to make it my way
But got sent on up the highway
Why, oh why
Why they gotta do me like that

[Jadakiss]
Why do *****s push pounds and powder
Why did bush knock down the towers
Why you around them cowards
Why Aaliyah have to take that flight
Why my ***** D ain't pull out his Ferrari
Why he take that bike
Why they gotta open your package and read your mail
Why they stop lettin' *****s get degrees in jail
Why you gotta do eighty-five percent of your time
And why do *****s lie in eighty-five percent of they rhymes
Why a ***** always want what he can't have
Why I can't come through in the pecan Jag
Why did crack have to hit so hard
Even though it's almost over
Why *****s can't get no jobs
Why they come up wit the witness protection
Why they let the terminator win the election
Come on, pay attention
Why sell in the stores what you can sell in the streets
Why I say the hottest **** but be sellin' the least

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]
All that Ive been givin'
Is this pain that I've been living
They got me in the system
So why they gotta do me like that
Try'd to make it my way
But got sent on up the highway
Why, oh why
Why they gotta do me like that


[Jadakiss]
Uh, yea, yo
Why Halle have to let a white man pop her to get an Oscar
Why Denzel have to be crooked before he took it
Why they didn't make the CL6 wit a clutch
And if you don't smoke why the hell you reachin' for my dutch
Why rap, cause I need air time
Why be on the curb wit a "why lie need a beer" sign
Why all the young *****s is dyin'
Cause they moms at work, they pops is gone, they livin' wit iron
Why they ain't give us a cure for AIDS
Why my diesel have fiends in the spot on the floor for days
Why you screamin' like it's slug, it's only the hawk
Why my buzz in L.A. ain't like it is in New York
Why are you forcin' you to be hard
Why ain't you a thug by choice?
Why the whole world love my voice
Why try to tell 'em that it's the flow son
And you know why they made the new twenties
Cause I got all the old ones
That's why

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]
All that Ive been givin'
Is this pain that I've been living
They got me in the system
So why they gotta do me like that
Try'd to make it my way
But got sent on up the highway
Why, oh why
Why they gotta do me like that
