Pretty interesting! What'd they do to the front end? Looks like they lowered the hood and raised the fenders?

Wow. Yeah, definitely not rice!!! I define rice, generally as cheap crap from AutoZone, or putting race-"like" gear on/in your car. i.e. Honda's that have never seen the track and have fire extinguishers??? And they always put them by a window as if showing it off... And the ultimate... putting sponsor ads on your car!!! WTF! Unless you are getting paid for it, why put it on? Parts that actually help your performance are NOT rice. IMHO

Hmmm linky no worky for me.
Suppose I'll have to try to view them from a non-DOD site. Dang Government web surfing restrictions.

At least I got them to allow me access to Rennlist. I was really losing it for a while there.

Not meaning to hijack the thread, but since you brought up fire extinguishers mounted on the windshield frame...WHAT IS THE POINT???? Is that seriously a valid mounting point for track use?? Aside from blocking vision, and being ready to launch towards you in case of an accident, why in the world would someone stick a FE there??????? I see it all the time around here and i dont get it! And i KNOW 90 perfect of the cars i see them on WOULD NOT pass tech inspection!!!!
