Similar theory to removing the back seat and adding a fiberglass or aluminum front end parts on the old muscle cars.
The rice boys put on a 20 pound lighter hood, then add 400 pounds of stereo crap, Playstations, body cladding and wings. The hood is bringing the mighty 4 banger Civic from a 18.1 ET back into the 17's (17.9 7/8).
