Jesse, possibly a new front bumper?!

I was reading Import Tuner and they did an article about their RSX... Supposedly this front end will help out with down force...

Maybe worth checking it out?

The rear kind of looks like a Supra...

Well my mistake for thinking the function over form was the best thing to do... I'm surrounded by fucking idiots.

"The term "dress up" is often used in Japan to describe exterior modifications such as body kits or trim that adorn the outer shell of the vehicle. But for Umemoto, the term seems to have a more negative connotation. "Aero manufacturers like to market their 'dress up kits' as the ideal body kit for time attack and race associated vehicles.

Yet, these same companies have never tested their vehicles on the track before. J's Racing engineers have taken valuable data from our race-campaigned S2000 for the past two years and researched key points such as down force, aerodynamics and cooling effectiveness with prototype body kit testing at numerous tracks," he says.

Further discussions with Umemoto revealed an otherwise unknown setback on the factory DC5 factory bumper. The factory front bumper restricts air flow, which in turn causes a rise in coolant temperature. This affects the ECU, which decreases horsepower. After months of research and hefty dollars spent on aero kit R&D, a final production kit was developed and installed on their DC5. The J's Racing carbon-fiber front bumper, carbon side skirts, J's Racing rear bumper and Type-V carbon-fiber hood all play an integral role in form and function. J's Racing Type-S canards and side wing panels were also carefully thought out and installed to deliver additional downforce to the vehicle while maintaining stability and traction."

...But hey what do I know. I forgot "looks" were more important than "function". Talk shit and make ricer comments AFTER you guys do your research.

Awaits the "it still looks dumb / ugly / or whatever" comments followed by the "+1 and such"
