This thread makes no sense. Do you know what rice is?
VG is a
part that works 
Rice is the complete opposite of the functional VG. How many rice parts do you know of that have had Aerodynamic research done on them?
I know Street Glow is good for 10WHP but that is the only one I am aware of.

The scary part is that three ignorant people view a
part as rice

It's only rice if you think it is. You can put ricetezzas on your car and believe it's not rice. It's your money. Do whatever you want and forget what everyone thinks.

rice is aesthetics. plan and simple.
vortex generators are functional (argue you it all you want about speeds under 80, but the cars built for track use)
if you threw on bilsteins or bbs rims would you think they were rice cause they are from the mr?
probably not

The vortex gen is not about looks for me! Its about function! u will feel the down force from the MR, and if you dont install it right, you will feel the drag it crates to your car!! great product!
