its so the air that goes through can whistle.. woo wooooooo

im guessing it improves quarter mile times drastically, other than that, i see no reason to make your rear bumper look like cottage cheese..

Is it more like 3 on each side? That could be molding that protect the bumper and it fell off.

its to prevent air from getting trapped behind your rear bumper when your going really fast. Ive seen em on a ton of track cars.

to reduce rear end drag and lift. people do the same when they cut holes in the front fenders.

Its just like ALL the bodykits out there. They originally came from aerodynamic pieces of race cars used for keeping the car on the ground at high speeds. Its all rice to me.

Rear diffusers. The rear bumper normally acts like a parachute, but if there is a way to let the air escape(i.e. holes) then you will have less drag.
IMO, on a street car it looks nasty. there are cleaner and more efficient ways to diffuse the air that gets back there(but thats top secret information )

There was a guy on here a while ago that had a civic hatch, color-changing paint job, molded body kit.

It had an H22 with a turbo, fast as hell(from what I remember)

He had the holes in his bumper like that, people were flaming on him, he then said that they were for when he is at the track, its for the wheelie bars. He fitted the wheelie bars through some of the holes.

Thats what I remember seeing.

I wont tell you my idea, but "think outside the box"!
Keep this in mind: The problem is that air is getting trapped back there correct? One way to remedy this is to let that air escape (i.e. diffuser holes)
another way is to not let air get back there at all....let that idea soak into your head for awhile.
