There was some talk about this before, but it was more along the lines of stickering.
I find this the more interesting alternative. This is an example of what my co-worker did for his Jetta.  What are your opinions on it? -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles.

Rat-rods, yes. Anything else, no. I just don't get it, what's so appealing about rust? Rust is cancer for cars. Maybe I just like shiny things too much.

The artwork is pretty cool. Kinda reminds me of Coomers chalkboard mobile, but rustier.

QUOTE (smkr3w @ May 10, 2012 - 1:33 AM)  To each their own.. Rusty Slammington **** yes! It's a Euro thing.. Personally, I like beetles that look like that, or Ghia's. This is a form of "aging" that I really like:

The Beetle probably looks cool that way. It's old enough though to deserve that rust. It fits. You're not going to convince me that a 20 year old BMW is going to be covered in rust front to back naturally. Unless it was left out in the tundra or at the bottom of a lake.
