Can you have a controlled rusted look?

Soooo, there is a fad to make your car
look like it's ready for the crusher? and people
think it's coooool?

In my day we called stuff like that rice.

Never been a fan of the rusted look. I guess I just don't "get it." That truck looks pretty badass though. Guess it works with some cars more than it does others.

I think you may be confused...

Rice: An automobile that has been equipped with gawdy, unnecessary accessories, such as 3' high spoilers, loud and/or repulsive paint job and body work. Owners of such automobiles feel that these accessories make their car the best in the world, when in fact it is not.

Rat Rod: A Ratrod is a traditional streetrod that are built the old fashion way. "BY THE OWNER" these cars are built for function, going fast and being free of the yuppie B.S. Anyone can buy a HOTROD thats what banks are for. Keep it real, no paint,no chrome,no problems!

Regardless of our disagreement in taste, this and our other rat rod has been featured in TRUCKS magazine several times. These are a highly sought after look in the hot rid world. Deffinitly not something I'd do with a BMW though (rusty is sick though!)
