The general application of rice is when you cosmetically enhance your car without the proper underlying mods.
Your gigantic cowl hood is no better than a giant fin on a Civic, neither serves a fucking purpose.
If anything you are making the car slower, as a larger cowl would just affect wind resistance.
actually, it could split the wind better. At higher speeds, whatever is on your hood won't really affect how your car travels. My sti hood scoop isn't really a factor because it barely causes any resistance. If it had a huge effect, then my front end would be lifting up at 130mph with the way that the scoop is facing.
that cowl hood may actually be letting out the hot air, ideally it's just a reverse scoop so that the engine can cool off...
a giant fin on a civic may be helpful if the civic ran 10s LOL
