Mattphi Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I wouldn't classify this as a teaser, since you are showing everyone everything your doing lol. Plus I should sue for stealing my intellectual property. I don't know how I feel about it Bill, to be honest. First off...you will have WAY too many colors going on for it to look good (green, red, silver stickers, black and now a orange-ish colored hood? It will look like a clown car. Second, you will have to clear coat it otherwise you will fuck your bumper, and it will look like shit. Hood-ride Rust looks good in moderation, not running down other pieces and panels of a car. Then it just looks bad. I say spend your money on getting the bumper painted, not on other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Taylor Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hmmm, it's one thing to take a rusted out early model car and make it drivable but to take something that's fairly nice and make it worn out and dated beyond it's years is entirely different. :thumbsdown: Now if it was a car that came from the junkyard or has been partially parted out, that's another story. Whatever floats your boat. Great way to throw money in the toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vadervolvo Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Well, I would have to agree that your car will look like a clown car if you do just the raised portion of your hood. BUT, I will say this: do it right, and you will come away with an awesome freaking car One Example: This BMW E28 5 series belongs to a certain Mr. Burroughs, founder of www.Stanceworks.com more: http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1277340 It's been done a lot, and it's been done well. So don't mess it up. Do the whole car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow down Bill, don't get your panties in a twist. Your correct, in the VW world harlequin can be a popular look, which is made up of different color professional painted body panels. You drive a Volvo and just slapping some spray paint on your wheels and rusting a hood wont make it look like a dub. No envy or anger coming from me. If you or anyone else in the local crew can remember, a rusted hood was in the works from me but I backed out to buy a motor which turned out to be uber busted.

matt b Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 LOL at this thread turning into a CFL crew cat fight. I'm looking forward to seeing the whole thing done. I dunno that just a hood would be enough to pull off the look though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighlyFavored Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I think it would look pretty cool completely done, with your own custom "Speed Shop" sign on the doors. You get the idea.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmartinlsmith Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 thought about it. I am a locksmith and having it on there would be cool but... I dunno round here they wouldnt get that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boost_Junky Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I like the idea. I used to have a bit of noise in a board I used in the studio. I did all this crap to get it out. One day, I said screw it and left it in there. I made three of the hotest tracks, with noise. This is Bill's noise. It could be hot. After he get's the second piece to this puzzle done, I think most people will give him props. Anyway, it doesn't mattter what people think. As long as he's happy with it. And he isn't doing this to his stock hood, he still has it if it doesn't look how he intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
