Thumbs up RUSTED HOODS - VW/BMW rat rod style
What do you guys think of the rusted hood fad thats going around? I will admit its kinda growing on me.

Do you know if these guys do some type of clear-coat protection once they get it rusted? They got to, right?

If it's done right, I think it looks pretty good

Re: RUSTED HOODS - VW/BMW rat rod style
I'm not a fan. A friend sent me some pics of it a while back and it was all Hondas, not VWs. All the ones I saw had some sort of clear though which looked better than just straight up rust though.

In very particular applications it's alright, but idk

Re: RUSTED HOODS - VW/BMW rat rod style
Do you guys know anyone with one? I found one on craigslist, but he doesn't have any coating over it. I'd wanna talk to someone who's had it for awhile and see what issues they've run into

Re: RUSTED HOODS - VW/BMW rat rod style
I don't know how I fell about this I would have to look at it in person. To be honest I think alot of stuff done in the Vdub scene are kind of ridiculous tho. I think you should not copy it if you don't have a much older car than a 7th gen but its your car.

Re: RUSTED HOODS - VW/BMW rat rod style
That si is mad photo shopped. and ugly as hell lol

Personally I don't like the fad at all. However, I do like it when the whole car has been made to look like it's rusted/dead but you can tell that its been fabricated that way and isn't just a douche who doesn't know how to take care of his car lol

I'd NEVER do it on my civic haha! I think it looks good on older cars tho. If you do it on a new car you just look like a tool. Vdub scene is pretty rediculous, yet I keep finding myself strangely attracted to it
