So good luck hope you get what you want! BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR BECAUSE YOU MIGHT JUST GET IT!

it's going to take a long time to get the overall rust effect with normal water. You'll want it soaked in salt water/mild acid.

Alright...enough is enough. Can we make a separate sub-forum for the guys who are hell bent on ruining their cars, and the rest of us can continue on with our lives until these ridiculous fads pass by?

Please don't.

but if you must, bare metal, spray bottle with muriatic acid and water, mist and wait.

Before going into this thread I thought this was going to be a do it yourself on how to fix rusted chips on the hood

Your best easiest bet is just to get another Hood that is gonna take a lot of time

MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST!!! There's plenty of salt here. In fact, you can rust the whole FN car in 1 season!

Agreed.

I think the idea is ridiculous, just my .02

B_Cyrus · 10-09-2012, 11:11 AM

make sure to rub it down with diesel fuel every couple of days.

It's funny because it's so true.

How can you say a rusted hood looks clean? haha That makes no sense!

+1, I was thinking the same thing; also, why stop there...
rust up under the hood, and
stain your carpets and floor mats,
maybe some grafetti on the seats, and why not a couple good gouges in the dash.
oh almost forgot... slash some coffee on the head liner (DD would world but you will get much superior results with chuck full of nuts)!!!

ZHPinthe103 · 10-09-2012, 09:24 PM

DEFIANTLY DO IT. IT WILL LOOK SO CLEAN AND GOOD. :THUMBSUP:

IT WILL LOOK REALLY GOOD.

Rusting hoods only look good on old cars, like e30s for example. An e46 still looks way too modern to pull it off, and I personally don't think it'll ever be able to.

Or maybe it can, with the right color and mods.

Hater!

Cars with rusty body panels look so clean! And the owners of these cars are pure geniuses who are ahead of their time. They're so unique. It's art, and if you don't get it, you're a hater! Haters gonna hate.

peytonracer4 · 10-09-2012, 09:38 PM

.... i dont think you really understand what clean means. at all. that's the opposite of clean. it looks like garbage.
i honestly wouldn't even park next to that **** box
