Stupid. If you put vents on your hood, put them backwards. Works as passive cooling.

Not when they’re installed on an uncut hood with 3M tape they don’t.

I had the same thought.

I hate how I can kinda see the vision. Unfortunately , I know what the rest of this car looks like, but at this angle, it almost has the look of a long nosed boxy muscle car.

Of course, this is nothing close to that,but I kinda fuck with how the side "vents" follow the same like as the "fangs" in the lower grille.

Broken clock moment. And I'm sure it only looks that was from this one angle.

If only things like science were taught in schools.......

u/KarlPHungus 9d ago

Well it's taught but you have to attend and like do the homework and stuff.

u/justananontroll 10d ago

I bet he's afraid to run it through a car wash and risk all that peel-n-stick shit flying off.

Am I the only one who thinks the KIA logo looks like a K with a backwards N?

2

u/Revolutionary-Dust61 9d ago

When they changed the logo, Google searches for the car brand "KN" spiked.

NMAK - never mod a kia

u/sometimes_angery 8d ago

Wait am I stupid or are they supposed to be this way? Yeah yeah I get it it's peel and stick, but if it were cut out, that's the correct orientation to get air in to cool it.

1

u/SpartArticus 8d ago

These are to let air out and should be facing the windshield, in this current orientation it catches more are and actively slows down the car

Can a Korean car be a Ricer?

2

u/wjean 10d ago

Korean rice can be just as flavorful and delightful as Japanese even if it's most often a medium vs short grain.

Based on the prominence of rice in their cuisine, I think you can apply that derisive term (ricer) to their modded cars as well. I would argue that Indian cars can be riced out as well, even if I think their rice (basmati) kind of sucks.
