    I guess all the "ricers" have $25,000 AMG ground effect kits on their Mercedes too, right? Just like the $100K plus Mercedes R63 AMG with side skirt and front air damn extensions?

    Maybe if we had an Apple logo imprinted on the side skirts with something like "iSides" and "iSpoiler" etched in, you'd approve?

    Looks like I struck a little close to home with this one. Non-functional fins and flaps! Yay.

    Nah, you didn't strike anything... it was a completely swing and a miss.

    It's ignorance if you equate ground effects to just "fins and flaps". Although ground effects most certainly can improve aero and gas mileage on the highway, they do enhance the appearance of vehicles when they aren't just retrofit Civic bolt on fiberglass kits available at ricer.com.

    I'm sorry, but this is tooooo cool:



    Personally, I thought it would be a great idea to fashion some home-made authentic looking 25MM Mk38's and weld them to the hood of my Brick. Man... if only I could weld.
