Wrong.

They're stone/bug deflectors.
Prime movers have used them for centuries.

japanese politeness and respect to society not to create a lot of disturbing noise. those are little panels that tell the driver that the sirens are activated and not stopping is great dishonor to their family

Snow fences. Keeps snow / ice from breaking loose at speed and cracking the windshield.

Wow, seriously? Everyone in this thread is fucking retarded.

Those are put there to refract the light from oncoming traffic and to protect the windshield from stonechips at high speed.

Holy fuckballs you're all insane.

holy shit, you are all fucking retarded.


The deflector is to change the way the air moves over the roof of the car, and provide better aerodynamics at higher speed because the lightbar is not very aerodynamic.

Lot of uninformed retards in this thread. It's actually the base of an A.T field that pops up when the cops are engaged in a dangerous situation. For example if protects the passengers and drivers in case of a shooting. Trust me I've been stationed in Okinawa and Japan is high tec as fuck

It's called a hood you fucking queer.

I'm not even US, but bonnet sounds shit as fuck and is not descriptive at all.

>>14747424
thats the table net. in case they want to stop and play a game of ping pong

Do cars in Japan even go fast enough to warrant this kind of thing? Doesn't really make sense to me.

Bug deflectors. You should see the size of the bugs they get in Japan, especially around Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Fallout-tier stuff.

Everyone else sort of manages without for the most part, but health and safety means the police have to have deflectors to stop the damn things smashing through the windscreen to try and drink their blood.
Something about the lights REALLY pisses them off, but they can't keep up with the cars, so they have to make frontal attacks.

While we are on the subject why is it called a boot? Shouldn't the boot be the tires? (Tyres for you) the boot is the rear shouldn't it be called the bum?
