I don't like the decals and flames either, but doesn't the decals and flames add 10 hp and take an entire second off your 0 to 60 time? I added a "Type-R" badge to my accord and not only do I get better gas milage but I've noticed my performance is boosted more then any other performance modification I could've done to the car. Unlike my car this Accord is a real Type-R from Europe sporting the H22A w/ 209hps. I bet that decal on the grill is where they get that extra 9hp compared to the H22 in preludes.
Just messin around with the humor associated with, I don't like using the term, "Riceboys". Nothing to do with ethnicity, but rather with puttin on a lot of extra "weight" on your car even if it is a sticker. I've grown accustomed to that s**t. The newer fad around these parts is the Neons and Cavaliers with big ugly body kits, non-matching rims, and stickers to remind us all what they drive in case we don't see another Dodge or Chevy.
