He wants people to think he got a rear engine Civic and those holes are for scavenging the engine heat out...

Looks just like some sticker put there just for looks.. Either that or it's his signature version of a bumper protector!

Even if it's a real hole, I don't think it does anything...

[RIVAL]

lol fair enough looks stupid IMO

[d15z1SUX]

ive seen those on a number of civics especially track or drag ones in the US whats with it? haha

[turtleEK1]

its to reduce a 'parachute' effect from the rear bumper... because it folds back around to the fron tof the car at the bottom of the mould, it acts like a parachute and creates more wind resistance...

The car used to have 8 exhaust pipes before he switched back to the regular single pipe.

Used mainly in drag racing, putting holes in the rear bumper alows the high pressure air to escape, which would usually be trapped behind the bumper at high speed. Ie, it slightly reduces drag.

speed holes to make the car go faster :p

:thumbsup: damn straight, why let the air out through a few small holes when you can easily stop any air getting behind the bumper in the 1st place:confused:

[Bayani]

Costs more to make something new than to cut holes in something else?
... :)

[panda[cRx]]

they are retard holes, when you see those holes on a street car you know the owner is retarded. it saves you from accidently starting up a conversation with them

[junglist35]

panda's got it right, you know leave them well alone........:thumbsup:
