kim chee is the new rice
 

alright, so i came across this a few minutes ago. it's rediculous:

somehow it got big in korea... i think it's just stupid looking

opinions?

Lmao at the engine thing, Hyundai Tiburon? Koreans. xD

That's what I was thinking. Although I like Tibby's

If you picture it with out the see thru, it's like a hood scoop.

the first one doesnt look half bad, being a hyundai, but with a normal hood, it would look MUCH better

lol it's not a see through, he installed a sun roof on his hood. When it's open like that the engine is exposed and vulnerable.

LMFAO, I thought it was like that, but w/ glass covering it. Ahhahha.a

lol nope.

As for calling it rice, idk. I kinda like the concept of it, sorta how people either like or hate the little window on the ZR1 Vette.

Idk how smart that is if it starts leaking or how well it takes the heat dissipation but i guess for a "show"/"teaser" kind've cool. idk, it's definitely weird

Apparently, engines are powered by photosynthesis.

or it is an extra accleration hole like homer does at the simpsons :D :D :D for speed that thas really senseless in my opinion, but a nice effect for show&shine ^^

i guess it could be closed for rainy days, and reopened for heat venting, but my god. who thinks of this stuff?

well, now when their turbos need boost, it can suck all the surrounding oxygen with no problems, but there may be some breathing issues

It's stupid and ****, but I find it kind of clever at the same time. :lol:

Thats exactly what I had thought. Personally its not something i would do or anything. But i bet this is going to take off sometime and wind up making it to import meets in the US. Does look like it was fabricated pretty well on both cars and I guess if done right might not look too bad.

When I was younger I was trying to find a way to make a ram air hood that opened up, partly for closing in the rain, and partly because I thought it would be cool to have a "race mode"- like the Veyron's top speed mode.

I was actually expecting to start seeing this on the street:

The tuner kids have pleasantly suprised me in refraining from mounting aluminum spoilers on their hoods after seeing it tho..... It is however more functional on a FWD platform than a rear one. lol.

Lol. That looks so impractical.

that tc's a race car. of course it's impractical

wow nice title, I would have never expected seeing this at all. Once I start seeing fully modded out hyundai's and daewoo's like Tank's (bobby lee) im gonna start calling it kimchi lol

My mom makes KimChi and I eat it w/ Ramen. LOL.

Ramen. Good stuff. On another note, I sill think popping on a spoiler in the front is stupid, even if it's a race car. Most race cars don't even go fast enough to lift the front end. He'll, the lips alone help keep most NASCARs on the ground.
