Ahh... Reminds me of the 20 foot tall wing days... and more recent days past of the body kits.

I've been rusting a few rat rod's for decades - it's surely nothing new.

People do it for the same reason girls hang out with fat ugly girls, to make themselves look better. See if someone has a shitty looking car they will rust the hood to make the rest of the car look better. People say "that car would be clean if it wasn't for the hood" but in realality it looks like a pieced together car otherwise.

i personally dont mind it on a handful of cars, but its really hard to pull off on a honda, and i t annoys me when people put one on their otherwise super clean cars. I prefer patina over just straight rust, but honda owners havent caught onto that yet....
