its the same concept as carbon fiber although carbon is more practical (it being lighter) so your basically just _____ing about the color. its just a color people calm the hell down + it looks great on most of those cars

 

It looks great on older cars.. but I still dont dig it.. though Gothbox's looked damn good

 

It's like any other style, it can look like pure schitt on one car, but if done right, can look good on another. I personally, being a VW guy from before my sack dropped, think it looks best on the old VW's.

 

^agreed older w/ rust is acceptable newer and rust....dunno but to each his own...might look into this later...

 

kanchi i believe the hoods are plastic as well, but i could be wrong

 

weaksause imo

 

I can't find any proof! Its killing me!! AHHHHHH

 

if you wanna see it on a tC then photo shop one

 

^talking about wether Saturn hood are plastic or metal, sorry to threadjack

 

yeah i was thinking the same think i wanna see it bounce back into shape

 

I personally love this whole rusty hood thing. its awesome on vdub I have many friends who have this and looks awesome, wouldn't do it on a tc but on euro's it looks awesome, people are jus not use to new things that's y a lot of people disagree, but when a new style sticker comes out every1 decides to jump on it like its the ladest fad (shocker sticker), like heelys and soap shoes and throw back jersey

 

What an odd trend to have for cars.........next it will be bright orange caution paint on hoods to cover the rust.

 

I don't understand why you want a rusty hood for a new shiny car. It looks so off.
If you want to rust your car as a style imo they the whole exterior should be rusted.

 

Its too beater for me.. I have had my share of old beaters. And the look on those cars doesnt matter. "beater" ..On my car though.. I like it looking nice.. no stickers or anything.

 

guess it must not be any differant than the primer your car trend we had growing up in the 80s........basically if your car was fast it was probably in primer for years as you kept building the drive trane and never got to paint.t was rare to see a nicely painted fast car.

Kind of a rule of thumb........if it was primered don't race it as you were gonna get spanked.My Goat did mid 10s and was daily driven...only got beat a couple of times,one was a 60s Charger with 440,next was a 5.0 supercharged,and next was a fricken Honda......not sure what he had,but I have to give him props.......that car was fast. and went from red primer,to white primer to black primer.......

I have seen a lot of cars around here with the rusted hood trick going on........PNW has all the right ingrediants to make rust.

 

I'm sorry, I think it just makes them look like ____e. Just like an old beater that's been sitting out in some old hillbillys front yard. Next the trend will be to have the green moss/algae growing all over your car. Makes a nice car look like a piece of crap.

sorry JMO..

WTF comes up with these "Trends"?

 

rusted hood is not for me.....

 

its a rat rod/euro trend, usually never japanese cars.

 

don't rust up your painted hood just hit up the junk yard and and buy one from there to rust up

 

yeah.. its called rat and all european friend of mine says: its only looks good if the whole car is like that. and usually they do it on vw cars.

but to be honest i like it better when the whole car looks really nice and only the hood is rusty:

here is some PS i just did.. someones pic from cardomain.. btw this is a REALLY nice rs2.
i hope hes not gonna get mad at me because i used hes pic.
