Whats up with honda owners not wanting to have other people see whats under the hood? I was at a meet tuesda nigth there was a couple of integras and egs all whats seemed to be boosted, had FMIC, had BOVs had gauges, but the owners all were like "the engins stock, nothign to see under there" and would pop their hoods for anyone. It was wierd, i was suspecting maybe they stole parts and thats why they wouldn't pop thier hoods. or maybe because they wern't boosted, or maybe for the effect of having the hidden advantage?

If I had half the stuff they probably had, I would be showing it off...

well at a car show...... they probably didnt have anything under the hood........

some gauges and a intercooler doesnt mean you have a turbo.LOL ive seen pleanty of hondas for sale localy and on ebay that had the intercooler and all these boost gauges inside the car. but it was all cosmetic.

IMO i show what i got because im not scared of my car geting stolen basicaly..... i got alittle car alarm to detour the idiot car thief... but other than that my cars parked inside my garage. and most important FULL COVERAGE INSURNACE. IM NOT SCARED AT ALL......

i think that is pretty lame not to pop the hood at a car show! they might as well park there car in the parking lot....
