Re: why a rusty hood??
why 'stanced' or 'hellaflush'? why roof racks that will never hold a bike or kayak? why JDM front on a USDM car? why neon underglow kits? why loud fart cans when the car could easily be quiet and just as fast?
why? because it's a trend. it will come and go like everything else. |
Re: why a rusty hood??
ha ok i guess..wasnt hating just wondering seems its the same answer everywhere i look now...just a fad from vw guys...i used to be a vw guy but never woulda rocked a rusty body part and i was even east coast haha

Re: why a rusty hood??
it goes all the way back to old rat rods where they basically threw together a bunch of crap just to make a fast car, alot of times they didnt paint or didnt want too and they would rust up, its a trend that i dont understand myself cause i do everything i can to avoid rust

Re: why a rusty hood??

|
Re: why a rusty hood??
i think they look ok on the right car but i think your just ruining a good hood?
|
Re: why a rusty hood??
I think it looks rainbowey and wouldnt have one myself.
Rust isnt a color only a condition of the metal. |
Re: why a rusty hood??
haha i built a ironhead harley a few months ago and everyone told me to make it rat style, i couldnt do it, fresh paint looks alot sexier than rust metal!!

Re: why a rusty hood??
Rat rod style on older German car:

Re: why a rusty hood??

|
Re: why a rusty hood??

|
Re: why a rusty hood??

Re: why a rusty hood??
To each their own...

Rat rods were put together with the parts available that would work. Paint is secondary to getting the car together and running. Rat rods have more to do with function than anything to do with looks. A 20-year-old or newer VW or Honda with a rust hood... it's not like those parts are hard to come by. Usually those owners take a fine hood and purposefully rust it. All part of the quest of a Honda owner trying to be different on a budget. |

Way too garbage. Desecration of the car to do that to it. Might as well get some fake fur from Joanne fabrics and cover the hood in it! |

Re: why a rusty hood??
When is the rusted quarter panel trend gonna come? LOL

Re: why a rusty hood??

Re: why a rusty hood??
