Why is it all these people in the "import scene" always feel the need for a FMIC for their car just cause it "looks PhAt yO!" When did a FMIC simply become a fashsion statement? I will admit I think it looks cool but often times for the SR20 for instance the stock SMIC will do fine for their setup and the FMIC may acually hurt performance but that's okay becase it's "tYtE yO!"

Like I over heard some Civic owner say something like "a fmic would be Tyte behind my so and so bumper!" while I was getting my tires mounted

Well I guess I need to clarify myself.

Chris has a Honda Civic. He cuts off his muffler and puts a "racing muffler on it." He also installs an intake and big *** bodykit. Then he looks at his car and is like:"Damn my Car would Look Tyte with a Front Mount YO!"

The sad part is, most of them are too stupid to know why I'm laughing at them as I drive by (or that they'd get their a$$ handed to them if they'd just take the challenge).

Frustrating that most rice geeks don't realize you want some stoplight action when you're driving a luxury sedan... Maybe I'll put a removeable fartcan on it...
