This guy is off FocalJet, he's a bigtime show guy. It's a trend, started by the EU VW guys. It's dumb IMO too. It's a "trying to be a rat rod" thing.

[BoosTT]

Weird. I could see doing it for a sleeper look??? And I thought cf hoods were bad.

agree. my cousin in texas has a 85's fox body that is a high 11's car but the outside of the car looks like the paint looks like its been half assed stripped. but he did that then clear coated it.. there isnt a spec of rust on the car.. ill have to find pictures..

the hood on this car is the closest thing i could find to what his car looks like... ill email him to get pictures

****** dumbass VW people and there stupid trends that get throughout the auto industry.

[SmokinRAM114]

DUUUDEE that shits DOPE! im guna patena my hoods bitches!! jk

[GTSLOW]

Seriously there's been some weird trends and what not. But this really is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. It in no way looks good, and any human that strips the paint off their hood in hopes of it rusting is a MORON.

[Reverend Cooper]

I can see car ramrods in my ass doing this

I like it. But then again, I have an unpainted carbon fiber hood. (:

[Waver]

so what is next, diferent colored body panels.....shit I would of been trendy 6 years ago

[Car Guy]

The next fad will be bare aluminum hoods/trunklids.....

[Voodoo Chick]

Yes, but unpainted carbon fiber looks pretty, and like the owner wanted it to look a certain way..... a rusty hood just looks like the car has been badly neglectd.

Big surprise here, but VW started this back in 1995 as a factory option. They made 4000 Harlekin Polo special editions.

[pOrk]

The polos are pretty ugly, the golf is pretty neat slammed with the mis-matched matching wheels. haha

[xxtremeteam]

It's the DERELICT fashion version for CARS. You know - Making your car look like the biggest piece of shit on the road is now a stylish trend.

[HY35F2T]

in a way its kool cuz its diff but so is being gay.

ill stick to carbon fiber hoods.

[awsomeears]

I'm going to do this on my NEON just to piss everyone off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if I could put a clear coat ( Spray Can ) over the rust so my hands don't turn brown when I touch the hood.

Ok ok maybe I'll do it !!!

[PB86MCSS]

Ugly. Rusty anything is unattractive especially on vehicles.

[WickedSix]

Wow Pork, I did not know that was a factory paint deal ? I have seen one and always thought the guy who owned it had it painted that way...the car always right off Greenfield and Sunnyslope at the apartments right behind the gas station....Oh yea the rusty hood trend is dumb if you ask me.....

[TheRX7Project]

I do also like the bottom right pic. Especially the mis-matched, color keyed wheels.

[Al]

I like it. On some cars, it looks neat.

Rusty? Some call it a "patina."

[TheRX7Project]

I just noticed, they keep it symmetrical between the 2 sides of the car.

[Voodoo Chick]

Those "Harlequin" cars hurt my eyes.
