Wow... umm.... wow. I must be old timer because the rusty hood trend is foreign to me. High school kids without enough of mommy and daddy's money will do anything to fit in these days.

It looks good on slammed euros and rat rods. I also think anything done to a civic looks retarded.

I went to Good Guys in Columbus in July and they had some rat rods there. I could not take my eyes off them. They are sooooo cool

The rusted looks ONLY looks reasonable on old rat rods and nothing else.

This car deserves to be put into the car crusher and demolished:

Farking ugly as hell with those god awful tires and rims sticking out 5 inches and a stupid as hell looking rusty hood.

Garbage for garbage looks.

The old rat rods didn't have a rusty hood and everything else nice, they were all ratty looking. That was the appeal.

Why are the kids trying worse and worse looks as time goes on?

So stupid.

I'm going to go out of my way to laugh and point and make sure that an owner of a car with a rusted hood knows that we are making fun of him. No use laughing behind his back, I'm going to laugh in his face.

The Golf I pointed out would look SOO much better with a nice set of rims and tires tucked under the wheelwells and a nice clean paint job.

First exposed carbon fiber, then primer paint, and how rust.

What next? Intentional denting?

I actually like this one! come on guy stop been so narrow minded! just because so of you don't appreciate the style doesn't give the right to bash on it!because if we start to bash this people for doing something different then we're no better than the V8 guys making fun of our "rice rockets"!

Yeah but rust is the literal destruction of your car. Besides it looks awkward and out of place. Is this supposed to be the "Hey man, the economy hit me hard too" hood?

yeah....that BMW looks stupid.

another dumb trend...

most of the rat rods still have some paint...a lot of that came from guys restoring them and leaving the original paint on and just containing the rust.

Yeah.

Looks just so out of place on that BMW. The BMW would look awesome if it wasn't for the roof rack and the hood.

That BMW does NOT look like a rally car or whatever the look its going for with the corny roof rack.

Stupidity has no bounds.

I guess stupidity is cheap though, rusty hoods=cheap, so anyone can afford it.

it seems like people try to make their cars look more like that euro urban adventure fast car look..if you guys get what i mean..

i think its lame and an overkill for that style of a car.

i want to get a luggage/bmx carrier for the top of my 240.. but with people overkilling the style i sadly wont be getting it.

That's it, I'm blowing up the earth. It's the only way to stop the stupid.

Man, I already hated VWs way more than it's possible for most people to hate anything. But after seeing this...the hate counter has just rolled back over.
