Can someone please clear this up for me,
Why do I see so many hondas with gaping holes on the back every time I go to a import event.

 

to keep air from getting trapped under the rear bumper, or to look cool

 

okay thx for the info I guess every lil bit helps,
even if it looks horrible..

 

Is that your car in your avatar, just wondering what all is done to it

 

I'm starting to get this trend growing in the undergarment department as well.

 

no i got it off a avatar site

 

Yeah I know cause its my car

 

LOL, newb

 

its a small world after all (singing) hehe

 

at higher speeds you can actually rip off the bumber. iirc when joe was talking to me when he was putting on the chute, he said something about his bumper flying off and the chute mount holding ot on. but yeah it helps with aerodynamics, and will keep the bumper from flying off.

fwiw, i will probably be drilling mine.

 

Does anyone know what mph range it starts to effect the aero??? I know that some cars out there dont need it.

 

I tried mine back to back and didn't pick up any mph or et

 

I drove to MIR on a stock one this fall and back home on a cut one. It was worth 2mpg.

 

unless you have a tail wind

 

base op is that really your car?
if you want me to remove it LMK..
I got it off www.avatarist.com/

thats awesome lol

 

hey atleast he was honest! +1 for that.

 

lol i'm not gonna lie and say i own a car that i really i don't.. thats stupid ish

 

i like the holes cut in the back myself..

 

sweet

 

For doggie style....lol

 

nice ek

 

I say once you start trapping over 100 mph it starts to take effect. I did back to back testing at the track on a 530hp car and it bettered .2 tenths/3 mph.

 

While it helps in theory...we really can't draw any conclusions from real world results without a million sensors on the car making sure everything was the same from one run to another.

I never got to doing mine, but from a fiberglass body kit thing to a stock bumper there was no gain (Okay 1 mph but I believe it was weather, timing changes, and desperation lol) in near perfect conditions.

The week after it went an identical 9.91 to one of my passes 5 mph slower than a 9.91 the week before. So it's pretty inconclusive.
