Just my .02 . . .
Rice would be if the Hood was just slapped on with double sticky tape. These scoops are molded into the hood itself so i wouldnt consider that rice at all. I think it gives it a more aggressive look.
When is a hood scoop every practical. its just something you want to make it look nicer..Hell soo many cars come with them now a days..the new rams do but they are rice..It looks like they are just double sticky taped to them..those Neon SRT-4 does and they have no function since they are front mount so that isnt helping the intercooler. Its just something to give a little more of a street look
