new sheetmetal is so thin now i think acid dipping would do more harm than good

 

Updates coming soon

 

not sure how straight his/hers face was but heres a caddy with a K and S2K CLUSTER.

 

But yeah,they are total snobs.i work for vw/audi and hear all the honda bashing hahaha.just seen that and thought i'd post it up.

 

I got my hood and am rusting it with chemicals, to change the rust to different colors, i started one corner and it's pretty crazy how fast it is

 

this guy's only a couple hours away from me, i guess he's not on any forums, that's why he's so original

 

I don't mind the rusted hood trend if it's executed correctly, but I personally would have left the hood like this, and had a body shop clear coat it. Mirror finished hood for the win. lol

 

got some pics comin soon..

 

shoulda just buy a rev orange hood. it woulda looked way better

 

new pics on the 1st page

 

someone polish your hood pls. and then the rest of the car too.

 

good photos! i love how polarized people are on this modification. how many comments do you get on it just driving around town?

 

This would be pretty cool.

 

lol.... a lot

 

Ricky it's coming a long pretty good... make sure and post pics of the finished product.

 

mod your car for you and noone else bro, not my cup of tea but i respect someone for doing what they like and not caring what other people have to say about it.

 

I agree big time..... That is what it is really all about anyway.

 

I love how everyone says " polish it and clear it". IT would look sick, but isn't that easy....You will probably just end up with a rusty hood eventually.


Every automotive clear will delaminate if sprayed directly over bare metal. They are intended to bite into a prepared painted surface, not a bare substrate. The O2 will get underneath it and cause the metal to rust.

POR15, however, does make a few clears that claim they can go over bare or polished metal. So if someone does do this, please at least use the POR15 clear.

If you just spray a regular automotive clear it will rust underneath and delam for sure!

For the record, I do not care for the rusted hood thing. It makes less sense to me than Donks!

i seen a couple cars at sema last year that had 'graphics' made by grinder marks that were clear coated, looks pretty good

 

Yes it does. As does the grinder marks with candy over them.

They certainly look cool. But aren't most SEMA vehicles customized just weeks before the show? I would like to see what they look like 6 months or 1 year down the road.
