I dig it. Then again, I am a fan of the hoodrides to a certain extent.

320iCar · 09-29-2008, 12:34 AM

im sorry. sure its pretty to some people. but the car has soooo much potential! im all about clean rides.

that car has an amazing stance, and you could not find rims that better compliment the car. ditch the roof rack, paint your hood and get some zender front bumpers. and that car would be in a league of its own.

sure, that car looks "cool in a qwerky" way. but if you where to restore that car with proper parts, it would be one hot ride i would be proud to show off anywhere.

I think a little part of me died when I saw that picture.

I saw this a lot in South Carolina; Cars with expensive rims or big sound systems etc; yet the belts are screaming and the exhaust is falling off.

Anyone else here who thinks that a stock car with some good "fix it" mods is sexy?

I kinda like it?! I agree that it would be much better fully restored. Maybe I like the fact that his front bumper and my rear bumper sort of have the same thing going on! (for now) When they do that rusted hood look is it real or painted to look like it?

The rusted hood is real. They're usually sanded down then either left in water or some sort of solution to speed up the process (hydrogen peroxide and vinegar?). It's ok kids, no need to get your panties in a bunch. The guy has all the original panels so he can return everything back to stock when he grows tired of this fad/phase.

Rust is a bad word in this case.

I'd call it oxidation.

That car is badass. BMWs don't have to be either concourse cars or race cars.

evo3 · 09-30-2008, 12:11 PM

MEAT at linc's to oxidize his hood. I'll bring the vinegar and hydrogen peroxide!

320Colin · 09-30-2008, 04:26 PM

Rust is rust. I guess if badass is a rusty hood, Homebrew roofrack, and a crooked bumper missing its trim and turnsigals that fits the bill..
