Covering hood with Fabric....Ideas???

[jserman]

Well I just picked up a new hood and it's not in the best condition and I don't have the money to paint so I was thinking bout covering it in fabric

I have seen pics of a couple cars having it done..

I figured I could get some fabric and some 3m spray adhesive and have at it...

what you guys think??

also I found this pic of a 240 hood done

[ZilviaKid]

please... just.... no..

..noo

[93superHICAS]

whats the point
with the cost of spray adhesive, fabric etc
you could just go to autozone and buy primer, sand paper, spray paint and do it your self

[BoostSlideWayz]

lol dude your gonna get so many stains.... i bet that was a photo of the hood when it was first done.. im sure if you took a photo of it a month later it would look really trashy. im sorry man but i vote just no. Its a different idea but i just think it just gonna look the way u want for a few weeks then when ever you wash it or anything its not gonna look good.

[!Zar!]

Honda owners started the fabric hood thing.

And OP: WTF. Can't you just save money? What is wrong with your current hood?

Why the fuck are people so cheap and then use their cheapness to come up with shitty suggestions. If you are poor, then that should give you LESS of a reason to waste money.

What happened to smart premies and all that jazz? I mean it only costs $10 and anyone can buy it but it is getting pretty bad now.

[S14DB]

Is it fabric or contact paper?

[umm_91]

to each his own....:hahano:

[jserman]

The current hood is a junkyard special... scratched and some dimples in it... it was just a temp fix as the hood that was on the car was buckled in the middle and didn't sit flush...

I haven't decided how I want to go with the front of my car i.e hood style and front bumper and what not so until I figure that all out i was trying to try something a little diff that's all...

once i get that all decided the car will get completely repainted but that is prob a year away...

So until then i am just trying to figure out something diff to do that is all...

also i am going to be getting a new hatch as mine is rusted and the one i am getting it faded to hell so I was going to cover that too...

[MandTPhotography]

I saw a hood covered in astroturf at H20i (Huge Vdub Meet.)

I say do what you want, if you want to be unique, go for it. If all else fails, spray that bitch some random color.

[Matej]

That is such a HellaFlush thing to do.

[SoSideways]

I had some Walmart snow leopard fabric covering my hood for awhile back in the day.

Actually a few of us around my town did it as a joke, but everyone loved it, including the ricers, and when I moved to Orlando I left it on for awhile, and a friend's gf loved it. I got her to lay on my hood and I took a couple of pics lol

I have to find those pics now... lol that was awesome.

I think I still have the fabric here, I might just do up my hood again, now that I have some nice wheels and proper ride height and stuff lol

BTW, that was like... 2005.

[Phlip]

it was just a temp fix
Please, just stop there...
It is a temporary fix and you recognize that. As objective third parties, we'd sooner understand that, so long as it is not a long-term temporary fix... Just put the junkyard hood on, don't waste ANY more money than it takes in doing so, save money and get the right thing in it's place and avoid jank-ass tasteless modification.

2. ???
3. Profit

[jserman]

^^^ dude please find them... yea I would be doing it more as a joke then anything....

like I said it would be perm.... and how did you attach you fabric to the head???

[SoSideways]

You mean how did I attach them to the hood? lol

I believe it was spray on fabric adhesive. Then the fabric itself was scotch guarded over.

[soreballz]

You should just cover the entire car in real animal skin.

Or be hardcore... Use human skins. Don't be a pussy; DO IT.

yea that's what I meant... i might just have to go peek a leek at some fabric today... :)

hey people put fence post exhaust tips, why not? lol

[illvialuver]

why now get some faux fur and make your car look like the dog van from dumb and dumber.

[repda916]

people like you make me look bad when i say i have a 240

[Teddy]

What happens when a bird leaves a massive shit on your hood?

Yes, this. Dead people make excellent fabric. If you skin a fat person, you may even get some skin tags and stretch marks for extra texture! :yum:

[brndck]

dude the kanagawa hood was rad cuz they only made like 3 of them.
fabric? why the hell not.
personally i miss all of the old d-drug hoods with nekkid beezys on em

[2_Tall]

that is my buddy axles car. After about 3 months the fabric will fall off then you just put a different design. Surprisingly, the hood does not look like it is fabric, but more like porcelain. It also stays pretty clean and looks hella cool.

is there supposed to be a pic somewhere????

[SoSideways]

I can't find the pics on my portable hard drive, so I guess it was deleted during the many computer swaps or something.

Oh well.

[Bushido]

newspaper in the engine bay? fabric on the hood?

what the fuck is the deal here lately?

[Alday]

Wouldn't putting fabric on your hood rot and grow mold after awhile? Rains one day, then hot as fuck the next? Just sayin..

[!Zar!]

As I already said, honda guy shave done the whole fabric covered hood thing already. Pics were posted in one of the rusted hood thread from a while back I believe.

[Bubbles]

Do it.

Dooooooooooo ittttttt.

then drive around like your the shit..

NOT SAFE FOR WORK

[R_G]

Take your hood to a local JC paint class or a high Skol paint shop and tell them to paint it and u buy material. If u want a quick fix get decal vinyl and have some one cover the whole hood. I did this in 2000 dont have pics any more.

[negrosx13]

Ohhhh gezzzz.. this is gonna be interesting where this goes

Yay, my car is famous, and most people hate it, so what!

The fabric will not stain. Even that nasty raspberry colored bird shit, left on for a week, just sprays off. During the summer, 3M super 77 spray adhesive holds for about 1.5 months. The fabric I put on LAST Halloween is still holding, seems the winter cold doesn't affect the glue. When you peel the old stuff off, there is a little tiny bit of mold under neath, but no growths or big nasty stuff, just washes off with degreaser, then you're ready for the next pattern! Costs me about $30 dollars and an hours worth of time when I change patterns. Here's what's on it now...

^^^ I am glad I could make you famous... I like it......

I have the glue I will have go look at some fabric.....

any help with the process will be appreciated.... hints or tricks will be helpful also...

also isn't your hatch done also???

if you can post more pics or PM them to me or email them to me I would appreciate it..

Nothing is original anymore.

I don't know why you even asked about this in gen pop.

I mean, you either do it and just post pics, and then either wait for all the zilvia zealots to hump your leg, then hop on the bandwagon, or you wait for them to flame you.

Neither of those outcomes should affect you any, because it is your car afterall, and you really shouldn't let the internet tune/mod your car for you.

I really really want to find those pics of back when I had the snow leopard fabric on my hood now.... I hope there were copies of it somewhere in this house.

Just to clarify, is this actual woven cloth or some sort of fabric wallpaper. It looks like printed wallpaper... looks good imo

It's woven cloth from a fabric store, must be at least 58" wide to cover the hood. I didn't choose wall paper because I was worried about how much harder it might be to get off the hood (sanding, hell no, not for me) or how it would react to moisture. The fabric is very very durable, people love to come up and touch my hood too! Thanks for the compliments!

Also, I still haven't found any snow leopard, thats another pattern I wanted to try, as my dreams have told me that the snow leopard is my power animal.

Snake skin pattern would be fun too!

First time really posting on Zilvia, this place reminds me of the AOL chat rooms I frequented when I was 10 years old. :P

the OP should use this opportunity to practice painting on a junky hood... the satisfaction of wetsanding and waxing the thing to near perfection is much better than making some landau hood

I have always liked the chalkboard style.
It just ends up being a bunch of shit though cause the typical car modders are not artist in any way.

What if every week it was actually some cool chalk art,
maybe a unicorn with a gay rainbow,

I wish I could drive my car around with the hood off at ALL times

[mrizsuki]

if your gonna do the fabric layout, might as well go to walmart, get their 1$ spray cans, and spray that hood. same results as the fabric in a few months, but at least it will look better. or get some vinyl

[jserman]

You're from Boise.

Does that mean you like to touch little Boise?

really that's the best you got?????

^all MUCH better options than fabric

one of those options was fabric.... but that polished hood was sick

if your gonna do the fabric layout, might as well go to walmart, get their 1$ spray cans, and spray that hood. same results as the fabric in a few months, but at least it will look better. or get some vinyl

wrong way different result... as walmart doesn't have $1 cans of paint... and the paint on the hood isnt bad just has a couple dings in it... hence cover them up... way less work then bondo and sanding and painting.....plus I have a line on another hood

[yellowxhoodie]

i know it says fabric by that "CF" hood, but it looks like that 3M stuff.

I hate when people do tacky CF shit, but still looks alot better than grandma's paisley wallpaper

[Shadowhunter]

As my friends from office space would say " This, this is horrible idea"

[rican_nick]

the "CF Look" is definitely some velvety type fabric. Some people thought it was Dry Carbon.

Polished hood ftw. I had a friend do that on a car just to be obnoxious some odd years ago. It was a peice of shit baretta but that's besides the point. Blinding people and then said fuck it and let it rust out.......in 2001.





thats not weak ^^^ you just want to be plain and boring like the rest...takes balls to stand out.





If that's the case, i'll take my "plain and boring like the rest" all day.

The way you lowball, high end hoods and real paint are too much monies for you so you're trying to make "poor" the next "cool".

[jserman]

First of all If you don't like it that's your opinion but I am really digging it.

Just a little background.

I picked up my 90 240 and it had been backed into. So the bumper is messed up and the hood was buckled among other thing. So I picked up a new hood, but it was faded and beat down and I am not ready to have the car painted so I needed a temp fix.I had seen a couple cars with fabric covered hood and I said why not...

The total cost of this project was 5 dollars and about an hour of my time..

After looking around for fabric I couldn't find anything I liked and that was wide enough to cover my hood so I though to myself why not a bed sheet. So I found a design I liked and it happened to be on sale so I puled the trigger..

Let me know what you guys think....

Supplies.....

1 - Twin size Flatbed sheet.. $5
1 - Can on 3m Spray glue that I had

SO here we go....

Here is my hood

looks dumb as fucking fuck.

you looked around for months?! MONTHS?! in that amount of time you couldn't earn enough fucking money to prep your hood and just paint it with some white fucking spray paint?

hahaha fuck, fail.

hey when you're super poor and you decide to live in your car you can just sleep on your hood cuz it's already got a sheet on it yo! just grab ur blankie and a pillow. rad.

[KiLLeR2001]

What if the hood gets so hot the fabric bursts into flames?

[yellowxhoodie]

update when it rains and your sheet gets moldy

[S14_Kouki]

lol I dont even know what to say about this............... Post more pics in a couple months and lets see how it looks.

[Sreds13]

ok i give you some respect just because you stepped out of the box... But you all know the scene in cartoons where someone steps through a door and falling out in to the sky or black hole... That's what kind of happened here. This is a simple quickly fix but ultimately a waste of time. Look if you want a cheap fix that would fit the ratty front end find a friend that can graffiti and have them tag it up, Walmart has clearence spray most of the time, and think you can always change it up and add to it, and it can get fucking wet. I will say again I respect the creativity but watch out your first step was a doosie.

[[email protected]]

sorry man but what the fuck were you thinking?
"yeah its wrapped in fabric" sounds dumb as hell.
another shitty looking car.

[atutt]

Gotta admit. It looks like shit.

[VQMaxFan]

Well at least it the car isn't nice in the first place.

But seriously, white is the easiest color to rattle can and have it not look like complete ass.

[GunmetalSR]

yo out of curiosity jus like carbon fiber fabric can this made set down and gel coated the same way using the same process... fuck it i think it looks bad ass but its not practical at all but if it can go through the same process as when they put down cf fabric then this would be a cheap and baller idea to having a vinyl made or having a custom paint job sprayed
to all the haters screw yall he had the balls to think it up and try it...help the kid perfect his idea

[AYE MAN THIS IS KADEEM!!!]

i think it looks pretty dope, personally i wouldnt do it, i would have just spray painted it and the front bumper white, but is all good though. the design we be a sick material for a headliner.

[jserman]

thanks guys... Yea if I could some how seal it that would be awesome but I like the idea of changing the pattern every couple months...also it is scotch guarded so we will see how long it last...

I have some fabric left over and I want to do my hatch but I don't think I can so maybe some door inserts or shift boot....

and yes to cover the headliner would be awesome...

[vrsc400]

I see nothing wrong with it
Its unique and looks 100x better then shitty spray paint would!
I'd rep it
good job man

yea bro i was jus sayin like they do this
YouTube - How to cover parts in carbon fiber (fibre) by skinning or wrapping (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rTWaV1imzs&feature=related)
dunno if it would work but i dont see why not and after it can be cleared and whatever pattern u used would be pretty much protected
but yea
somebody try this^ u can look up how to make the reasin and hardener and gel coat and then a couple coats of clear after

[chiboy002]

nice man, its unique

this honda guy covered his hood with stickers. it came out nice but when it rained. it all came off

[bl3ujay07]

first impression, whoa!!! Take some shrooms or something and just stare at the hood. Shits pretty trippy!!! Hmm...try doing an stereogram on your hood lol! Maybe make it an sr20det engine looking image.

[michael_torres]

you should have done it with vinyl
btw your bumper looks like shit

[godrifttoday]

what are you gonna do when it rains...

:duh:

Or most importantly when a cat takes a piss lol... U should have gotten at least white cloth to match the car

[t.vo408]

Coat with resin, sand and clear. Would make for a deeper interesting look.

so instead of spending $15 or $20 on spraypaint and making the hood look decent, your just gonna spend the same amount of money, if not more, in the long haul because your gonna keep re-doing the fabric?

that makes sense

As much as I think the cloth hood idea is retarded, the mold issue is easily handled. Spray the hood down really well, and drive the car hard to get the hood nice and warm, thus drying out the fabric. Viola, no mold.

[jserman]

I don't see mold being an issue... if it gets wet I will make sure it gets dried asap...

it's all scotch guarded and ready for the weather...BRING IT

QFT, Now i get the whole, my old hood sucked so i got some new shitty hood from the junkyard and i wanted to make it look better in the process argument, but what the fuck guys, blah blah haters haters blah illest blah. this whole trend of being a cheap as fuck is rediculous. Why get into car modifications if you can't even afford to paint the hood, let alone use some wal mart bullshit to make yourselves stand out in a bad way. Bike racks for fat people that don't own bikes or use them, rusty shit on the west coast, hella flush, bass boat vinyl square cut outs, and now this?? its like the 80's has come back but with uglier dumbass trends.

if i saw your car in person, i would be very impressed. really, i think it looks great. also, having the ability to change theme anytime you desire is a very nice option. reminds me of windows 7 and how it changes backgrounds randomly, so cool and modern.

also, what kind of wheels are those? they look very strong and performance oriented. are they R34 gtr wheels, perhaps? because they look forged.

i am truly impressed. your car truly shows that hard work, proper planning, dedication and good taste all pay off in the end.

ps: you should do your entire car, complete the theme.

like good god. you need to paint your hood. so instead of learning a useful skill, i.e. painting cars you decide to defy things and glue fabric to your hood. its some attempt to differentiate your car from 'all the other 240s' out there on the internet. its a 20-22 year old car.... guess what? its already different.

how about you REALLY set your car apart by cleaning it up and making it look good for its age

this reminds me of those hicks you see with tarps nailed to their roof bc they need new shingles...

sure its different but its also ghetto as hell....


ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

post up your paypal info, i'll send you a dollar towards getting the hood painted.

I'd have to agree with this. If i had a "junkyard spec" hood:tardrim:.. I'd spend my time productively using it to practice learning a useful skill (i.e. painting, as said above)

I've read everything in this thread (don't ask) and I understand everyone has their own opinions, but since you said you spent months pondering about with this idea, you could have saved up enough money for a paint job, or done it yourself and save a fat amount of time.

Just my opinion, but if I was for the fabric hood idea, and you spent months on it, at least search around for a better fabric design.

But either way, build YOUR car the way YOU want to. And good luck in the future with the weather. :goyou:

I spent a couple months looking for the fabric.. there aren't a ton of choices cause of the size...

Who says I don't know how to paint... lets she paint hood 200+ dollars to do it right and hours and hours of prep.. or 5 bucks and do something different...

I have been spending money on other things.. i.e. the rims, coil overs, tires. and other suspension parts and fixing the car mechanically... that is more of a priority to me then it's looks...

I haven't decided what i want to do as far as an over all look for the car. For time being it's a temp thing but I may just keep it....LOL

dude those wheels are tite, swear i thought they were the forged gtr wheels. im tryin to save for some mb battles or fno1rc, but now i think ill try to find some like yours if im lucky.

what size or those? you must have some big brakes.

i year ya on the function over looks thing man. i mean, the hood on my car is also pretty faded but.. rather than try to make it look good with fabric i just leave it alone. i never wash the car so its part of my "i dont give a fukk" theme.. but i think i'll look into the fabric thing now that i saw your car, its poppin off.

nice job, fukk all the haterzzzz

The thread is some serious WTF.

If you are intent on using fabric you should remove what is on there now and prep the hood properly. Remove all the oxidized paint and fill any dings.

Then you can lay down your fabric and resin over the top. If you do it right you can keep it looking the way you want indefinitely.



It will still look retarded but at least it will be quality work.

The finish could come out looking like this:

Quality work and 240sx doesn't go together in the same sentence 80% of the time.

They are too lazy and cheap to do a simple job right, so they cut corners and try to do something different and make shitty excuses as to how they think it looks good.

Same problem with people putting vinyl on cars. It COULD be done decently, but the only people who are interested in it decide to cheap out; so the result is it looks like crap.

[jserman]

I don' t think you guys understand this was never meant to be permanent. it's just a temp thing until i get all my aero figured out and out on then i will have the whole car painted...

instead of rattle caning it one piece at a time which is what you guys want me to do

[kingkilburn]

Being temporary is no excuse for shitty work.

[Dee]

Dude, take a moment and THINK about what you're about to do. This fabric will not stand up to the constant abuse from the outdoor elements, I would be willing to bet that it would not last a week. Pattern print on Vinyl would be a better choice but it's costly.

Temp fix to what? Is it effecting the car performance? It's your car but seems to be an unnecessary waste of money especially when you can just wait get all your aero together and have it painted.

Do you though, you're the one that's going to get laughed at. :keke:

remember that haggard flat back vert with a 4 pt roll bar and a kouki front end? that sucker could use some ghetto garbage like a fake cloth hood


yo what about cloth covered doors? you know mad CJ-7 Jeep style

[KiLLeR2001]

Whats next? Cutting up a bunch of old t-shirts and pasting them on your hood like its some sort of fashion statement?

[fishboi]

Man wtf is going on in this thread? Instead of wasting your money on fabric why not save up for paint? If you cant afford the paint then rattle can it. I can assure you the rattle can will withstand more abuseAND look better then some shlty fabric.

[KiLLeR2001]

I can already see it happening... someone is going to wrap their hood in some denim, just wait...

[jserman]

I just don't understand why you guys think it won't last???

If it gets wet I will dry it out..the sun doesn't make fabric disintegrate, if so there would be a lot of naked tities out there....

I keep hearing save my money... well I don't know bout you but I can afford 5 bucks...

so keep bringing the hate and I will keep updating you on how my hood is doing :)

Hope you plan on scrubbing it down with tide detergent on a weekly basis cause its probably going to smell like rotten ass.

[fishboi]

What happens when some bird shits on your fabric? Once it dries up, you gonna pluck out the bird shit? lol WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?!?! YOU WONT GET ANY "RESPEK" w/e the f8ck that means. I guess he just likes the smell of rotten ass?

[kingkilburn]

It's funny that you think we are hateing on your great idea.

[yellowxhoodie]

[Sileighty_DRFT89]

^dude, you should have realized you started a trend and sold huge hood stickers to stupid kids for $$

[E-Warrior]

e-warrior, you life will go on.. kinda like your post counts ..





v e r y , s l o w w w w


In all honesty I am very confused now....lol:snoop::hyper::eek3:

[coww-cho!!!!!]

Oh Zilvia, nevers seems to displease lol
Posting this on zilvia was your first mistake but.......as an idea try getting fabric that stretches, this honda kid used a spray adhesive by 3m and he ended up a lil short on the corners but since it was stretchable, he was able to pull the corners and tuck it underneath the hood easily. He chose this fabric that looked like dry carbon fiber.

The only problem he said was that the adhesive melted from the heat of the motor and the fabric began to curl on its own but he would fix it later.
I would suggest that if you're getting fabric that's a light color there are those stain remover markers and you could also use Hydrogen Peroxide as it is a cleaning/treating agent along scrubbing with a toothbrush

[DALAZ_68]

I don' t think you guys understand this was never meant to be permanent. it's just a temp thing until i get all my aero figured out and out on then i will have the whole car painted...

instead of rattle caning it one piece at a time which is what you guys want me to do

Being temporary is no excuse for shitty work.


^ that

ahh..makes sense...:keke:

i dont understand why you cant just leave it alone until you have money to do it right...like seriously, is ur bro pride that big?!,

once again, its your car...and something for me to laugh at...so continue...

do it, its hella hella hella something

:keke:

[jserman]

My bro pride???? WTF is that????

the best part of this is you guys think I am some young stupid kid... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

and just a little update I have been driving the car for the last couple days and it has been sitting outside in 90 degree weather while I work and the adhesive seems to be holding just fine.. No issues what so ever....

[kingkilburn]

We know you are stupid but who said kid?

[KiLLeR2001]

the best part of this is you guys think I am some young stupid kid... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA


The sad part of all of this is, if you are a respectable adult you should have a little more sense than to pull off something like this.

"Hey guise i dont have enough moniez for good paint job, so check dis out yo, i got this fabric im gonna put over my hood, it looks mad jdm-tyte and it fixes muh clearcoat problems... shazam! I be so original wit yall 240 crew"

Here's a tip...

$2 spray paint from Wal-Mart, take your hood off (not too lazy for this are you?) sand it down a bit with fine sandpaper (just to rough it up), spray paint it to match your car best you can. Then shut up about it until you can afford a real paint job like the rest of us.

Please don't procreate. :nono:

No man never cheap out on a turbo, Ebay all the way.
I hope all your cars catch on fire.

Comparing Origin and D Drug hoods to some janky ass kid glueing some of his moms old sheets onto his hood HAHAHAHAHA


i think a paper mache turbo would last waaaaaay longer than an ebay one. and i think you are very pretty =D

i think i am going to buy a hulk bedsheet and glue it to my sooby and use the scoop as his mouth

who said I didn't have money for a paint job????

maybe you should READ.... I said I haven't figured out which way I want to go with aero so until then why not try something diff??

I tell you wait you go buy a 2 dollar can of spray paint and paint a hood and lets see how it turns out...

it takes a respectable adult to think outside the box and try something new and be diff instead of being part of the herd... Bro paint jobs FTW

[kingkilburn]

Any one can think outside the box. It just so happens that the area outside the box you have wondered into is the land of

respectable adults dont glue fabric onto the hoods of their 20 year old 1000 dollar cars to be different


if you want to deviate from the herd do something other than modify your car, thousands of people already do that.


in addition there are many adults out there who deviate from the herd and are anything but respectable

why dont you do something genuinely unique not for the sake of 'being different' but for the sake of doing whatever task you partake in. somewhere during your limited education you were told that different somehow unwaveringly equals respectable. sadly to say theres alot of different stuff out there that suck

on that note i'm going to do something other than talking to 'a respectable adult' such as yourself.

p.s.
your statement is about as dumb as my sig, considering youre talking about arts and crafting your hood


p.p.s.
its already been said that honda guys did this first, so you're not thinking outside the box, you're not special, go mix chlorine and bleach together and tell us all what it smells like

edit: dont actually do that, i dont want a dumbass such as yourself getting really messed up based on my sarcasm

[KiLLeR2001]

maybe you should READ.... I said I haven't figured out which way I want to go with aero so until then why not try something diff??


Huh? This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

You're claiming since you don't know which aero to go with, somehow covering your hood with fabric will better help you make this brain-staking decision?

What I see here is a poor attempt at trying to do something original which serves no advantage or function versus paint; which lands itself in the department of Certified Rice. Please sell all Nissans you own and go Honda, you're making my car look bad.

[fishboi]

Can somebody edit the pic and add in something about hoods with fabric on theM?

[!Zar!]

These both look like the shitty, 'before' pic. Now show us it was only a joke and post up some, 'after' pics.

Why was your hood black in the first place? Was that another, 'temporary' fix?
Why is your bumper so fucked up? Another temporary fix?
Why are your wheels pink? Yet another temporary fix?

I got an award in elementary school for "Thinking Outside of the Box" and I am in no way a respectable adult, so please don't lie to yourself.

My IQ has dropped after reading this thread, on the plus side it has given me the motivation to go sand/prime/paint my hood, so not all is lost.

did I say doing the hood would help me decided??? no i said I don't want to paint the car until I figure it out...DO I NEED TO SPEAK SLOWER...

I want to do more now cause the more I can make your car look bad I will do...

I would think if I am rice it would make your car look better ???? :duh:

[gerson408]

can we all get along?

[keeeban]

The OP has repeated over and over "bring the hate."

He's getting what he's asked for..:goyou:

I feel bad for you because you're surprisingly slow and you don't even realize it. You don't need to paint your entire car, simply paint the hood to match the car for now. Done and done.

You failed to comprehend the reasoning for my last statement involving my car looking bad because of you... Let me break it down for you in an elementary sense...


- YOU HAVE NISSAN 240SX
- MYSELF AS WELL AS MOST PEOPLE HERE HAVE 240SX
- YOU HAVE SHITTY LOOKING 240SX
- YOUR SHITTYNESS MAKES US ALL LOOK BAD BECAUSE WE ARE A COMMUNITY OF 240SX.


Of course 99% of people here have better looking cars than you, so they all look better than yours, but you make all of us look bad with this jank ass idea of yours.

Hope you carry a fire extinguisher in your car; you probably have some faulty wiring going on too.

[jserman]

HAHAHA please.... say all you want I will continue with my fabric hood so i can make your car look like SHIT... that is now my whole goal in life...

Yea i did say bring the hate... I don't care.. I don't let a forum decide what I do to my car Unlike OTHER PEOPLE........

So keep your eyes out for fabric for me guys...

Don't kid yourself, if that statement was even remotely true this thread probably would not have been created. You asked Zilvia what we thought, we told you. /thread

Exactly what I was about to say.

If you don't care what we think, and not "listen to others" why the hell you you make a thread asking for opinions?

Anyways..

/end.

[jserman]

actually I originally made a thread asking what people thought and got tons of hate... I did it anyways and made another thread posting I did it and they merged them...

If I cared what you guys thought..

I would have never done it to begin with, or would have ripped the fabric off after the first day... :)

I don't care what people think, everyone has there own opinion and this is an open forum go ahead and say what you think...I am listening.. :)

[KiLLeR2001]

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Do this to your car: add a ricer wing, throw on some Honda stickers, install a fart can exhaust tip, and buy some ebay taillights, that will really teach me good!

[udon!]

What the fuck is this shit?

Like real fucking fabric?

Dude, seriously? Are you thinking before you type?:bash:

Why make a thread asking what people think, then saying "I don't care what people think."

Being the "adult" that you say you are, I would have believed you would have more common sense and better judgment than this. Guess not.

[udon!]

I think he would have been better off using this fabric:

It would complete the look.
