So I guess letting your car rust is new "IN" thing...so that means alot of S13s are in style now!!!:keke:

[lucky7]

was some euro shit. i personally, love it. i think it'd be dope on my E30. not so much my red car though. it works far better for euros than it does for rice.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

I love it.

[HyperTek]

that red civic would be sick with a painted hood.

Otherwise i dont think it works too well with japanese cars, just makes em look cheap and run down.

one day i hope faded black will be cool, than my fc will be awesome lmao

Patina is the word of the day.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

some people call it "patina". i call it "looks like shit".

let's start our own new trend...... slathering human feces and vomit all over our hoods. we can call it the "2 girls, 1 hood" trend. :rolleyes

VWs didn't start this shit. This came from the VW fruitcakes trying to "rat rod" their cars, and failing HARD at it.

[Jimmy Up]

did you gusy see the ThatGuy of the vw world in there? lol

I kid. lol

[SimpleS14]

Damn that is ugly :| People have personal preference, so it's whatever. I better not see someone telling me to do that to my car.

[!Zar!]

It's just a style.

I don't see why people are getting all worked up over it.

Some people hate stretched tires.

Others hate body kits.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[BoostSlideWayz]

I swear the things ppl do to be different can be completely idiotic. Who would actually decide say, lets sand my hood and let it rust... at least go with copper and sand it down and spray with that acidy stuff. then your car will really show..

[ThatGuy]

"Patina" won't be included in the mix, either.

[usdm180sx]

Maybe good for golf clubs, but def not for cars

Stretched tires serve a purpose: Wheel fitment.

What purpose do rusted hoods serve? NONE.

[origin_s135]

personally, i think it looks like shit on imports.

No, as already mentioned, "Hoodride (http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=hoodride&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi)" is a VW trend. Civic guys have recently caught on and are copying.

Some people think its stupid to run overly stretched tyres and vinyl covered cars whilst some people think its stupid to drive a deliberately rusty car. Different strokes...

[C-unit]

rusted hood looks really really nasty..

[irax]

gah everything started with VWs but depending on the ride i think it can look very good.

[qwikspool]

for a hot rod yeah looks good but for an import :rl::barf:

[BustedS13]

Patina is the word of the day.

thank god. i can't believe somebody said "it's a euro thing".

it's kind of cool on classics. like, when they have the original paint. i find intentional patina to be lame.

and intentional patina on a car that isn't 50 years old is just retarded.

[thesimpleS13]

don't really like this....i prefer paint, but then again....its just my opinion

[BustedS13]

was some euro shit.

seriously, crack an issue of Hot Rod from the past 10 years

[Quail]

Yes hoodride is the VW take on Rat Rods; thats obvious. I definitely wouldnt class them as the same, so my point stands. Thats why I said Hoodride and not rat-look ;)

It was more fun when Team Rust did it like....10 years ago.


The next big thing, mark my words, will be welding shit or painting little murals on the B pillar of FC's.

Just watch.

Hypertek, lets start this up

[alindeman1989]

it was started by the hoodride movement with aircooled vws like 5 years ago. then the fad went away and people are starting to hear about it.
things you need to be hoodride: pre68 vw bug
suface rust
slammed with a 4-7 inch narrowed beam
have old suit cases and coolers on your roof rack

[Otto347]

It was more fun when Team Rust did it like....10 years ago.As soon as I saw the civic in the first pic thats what I thought of. I remember people saying it was stupid blah blah blah.......then everyone does it and it "cool" ................oh well.

[Enna]

I was meaning its always the civic owners who try to do shit like this. They see something that someone else has been doing for a long time (like old beetle owners did to rat rods), and try to do it to their cars.

I will agree with the OP tho, this probably will be the new ricer trend.

[MisawaJason]

Looks so ridiculus. I just dont understand why you would want your car to look like that. But hey, once again it's not my money

[napaKAliboog]

Nice way to fuck metal up and devalue your car...

[ayuaddict]

i think im gonna do this on my civic.

WTT carbon hood for stock metal hood.

[cxlo8331]

I no likey!

[DUFFM4N]

haha that red EG on equip 03s is my buddy Arnel's...dont worry, he has another hood thats painted red still...rusted hood or not, that car is still sick as fuck...it got stolen and they stripped it...and was back to its current state in 2 months

as far as the trend goes, all the people i know that have done this have done it to spare parts that they have...the people that dont, are just dumbfucks...i love it because it seems to piss off so many people :keke:

[atom]

What's retarded is that a lot of these dudes only do the hood. Yay I got fresh paint and 3 coats of Meguiars on the rest of the car but my hood looks rusted as fuck. At least rat rods are consistent.

[Alpha Residence]

not my cup of tea, I can tolerate it on the rat rods but to make a modern car look "aged" like that is totally idiotic IMO. To each their own I guess

[Matej]

hey kan y'all tell me how 2 do this? i sanded my karbon fiber hood n left it in the rain 2day but it wont rust

[91240sil80]

That red hatch is my hommies ride that was taking at eibach and it's a goldish yellow carbon kevlar hood I forgot what the website was but the guys that make that HooD style gave that to him to rock at eibach

[sliderz]

ok for rat rods, not ok for other cars..

[BustedS13]

it was more fun when hot rodders did it like....50 years ago


:bite:

[tamiya_s2000]

how does this even look 1/2 decent???

[Pank]

Rat Rods were not around in the 60's. Not as a fashion statement, more as a "I haven't finished building this" or "I'm poor"

They were still cooler than civics doing it, though.

[Future240]

I don't get it, its not my personal taste be a rat rod or civic, but hey if having rusty hoods makes people happy more power to them.

[RiversideS13]

that is super ghetto

[Matej]

Rusty framerails are cooler.

[kyoru]

dear god that looks ghetto..only the older euro cars can pull it off...barely

[NISMO_tuner]

i personally dont like the rust look on my car unless it was really old school...
i prefer the flat black/primer hood...for those who cant afford paint, or is too lazy to get it painted

it was more fun when pioneers did it...like 150 years ago

[FaLKoN240]

It looks cooler on older cars.

But its random on cars that look like they'd be in HIN show with real paint.

Some of those EG civics look really shitty.

I don't think it looks cool combined with flaking clear coat.

[inertiaticism]

Actually, the rusted body panels/whole body rust thing and the hoodride barn find look with entire car patina came from different sources.
At least in the VW world.

All of the dumbasses with otherwise normal late model VWs with a rusty panel or two are copying a few cars in Europe, that got brought out a good while ago. A few dudes on the euro show circuit had talready fucked up A1 GTIs that were stripped and sprayed with brine solution to rust the whole body evenly, add coilovers and nice wheels, and they were a hit on the show circuit.
The other side of the watercooled VW scene, which is more like hoodride (http://img59.exs.cx/img59/8969/hoodride5.jpg) , kinda formed from ratrod influences and the ratstylez cars, which were by and large fucking lame.

A lot of the other cars with entire car patina are definately copping the rat rod style, which came to VWs from aircooled VWs, which are actually old and look cool that way.
Not when people paint on patina on otherwise clean cars instead of driving a car as is and keeping it original and intact. Hoodride style cars rock if it's saving something that would otherwise be a parts car.
It's annoying as fuck, H20 VW heads copying aircooled style, then they tell their friends, and they tell their friends, and they tell their friends.
And then we end up with fucking Focuses driving around with rusty hoods and guys with SOHC Del Sols with 13" steelies and peeling rattlecan paint bragging about patina.
It's especially annoying since I'm an ex VW dork and Focus owner.

but, that's just my :2c:, I'm sure a lot of these guys just dig stuff they've seen on other cars and tried to spin some of that into their project, and I can't really be against that unless they're really permanently ruining a rare car.

[Matej]

This is like stomping on your aero and kicking in your quarter panel and shaving your rear tires down to wires so your car can look like a drift car.

I've always liked this look but mostly on older hot/ratrods. If I had a old vdub or a 1949 Merc I'd rock this look with no problems, but no effing way on my 240.

does this mean my civic is magazine worthy now?

[[email protected]]

change this thread name to rust no rice

[240sxdriftin]

some of those cars would actually be super clean if they hadn't done that to them...

i have to admit there are a couple that could pull it off ok...

not something i would ever do to one of my cars though

[DOOK]

i just want to take a 20 pound sledge to one of the shows where a bunch of these are and start smashing doors... when people are like... what the fuck man... I'll just be like, apparently you're behind, smashed fucking doors are all the rage bitches... that'll be 19.99 for your coolification

[ThatGuy]

I'll kindly ask you two to take your conversation to PMs. You are dragging this Thread Off Topic.

Your posts have been deleted.

[illvialuver]

When I saw this in the eurotrash thread, I though one of two things right away.....

One,
I hate this, but some guys like this stuff, so whatever, it will just make nice cars look nicer.

two,
This will probably become the next scene thing to do to your car, and sure enough the honda kids are eating this shit up.


I personally think it looks like ass, ( with the exception of the one black e30, that hood looks actually designed like they put thought into it like it was rusty art, plus those cars are cheap anyway so I could car less) I doubt you would see this on a serious car like a m3. Which means I think this is a joke.

Also I find it ironic that the number one bs line that comes out of euro tuners mouths when I ask them why do they like Euros " because they have status and are more expensive and more sophisticated, much more grown up." Because rust does not equal sophistication, and I don't think having your car look like you dont take care of it is grown up. It would be like buying designer jeans only to piss and shit on them to look different.

But to each his own, and now I am waiting on a boso Cresida to rust there hood.

what happens when this car hits a bump?

thanks for merging them, and im guessing after they hit a bump, they go boom... lol but seriously i had one when i was 16, almost identical height, and bumps made me feel like it was faling apart.

i think people who own vw already have questionable tastes..

It could be more a comfort thing.. knowing your car isnt "perfect" you dont have to worry as much about ruining it.

[ANVIL]

hope that trend never reaches here, although it would sorta fit in with the scenery here

[mRclARK1]

Really it does suit VW's and most Honda's anyway...

Rust makes a car look like a piece of shit, so it doesn't just perform like one. They're just progressing realistically... Perform like shit, so now they're going to look it as well.

This is a step in the right direction folks.

this trend is complete failure. some of them look "ok" but in my opinion would look much better not rusty.

the rust should be saved for rat rods, those are the only vehicles meant to be rusty.

[ZX88]

vw are pieces of shit anyway. i know cause i own one. having to replace fucking light bulbs weekly and having your e brake play peek-a-boo with you is so much fun. Rusted hood fad only add to my perception. i guess people like the shit brown look.
