I for one, would never really static drop a car to be on it's belly. I actually like driving, and belly scrapers are just for creeping and cruising - more annoying than fun to drive imo. But I won't deny that I like the look (hence the pic in my sig), when it's done right.

AMEN to that!! But that blue 240 has that "hella flushed" look and the tires are stretched.

That funky green thing is pushing it past the limits! Now that's ... ugly green, pink wheels and a pink striped tires! You can only do so much to a car before you make it look ugly!

You young cats have a very odd way of thinking stuff is cool! Can somebody explain this...

..... I don't get it.


EDIT: Although.. in a search for "rusty hood trend", I came up with this..

Which I actually rather like. It's not rusty, of course, because I can't think of a way that would look good... but my search did lead me to something nice.

^^^ That's how they start. They scrape all the paint off the hoods, and then throw chemicals on them to get the desired rust. Sometimes they paint logos, patterns, or numbers on the bare metal before applying the chemicals.

I think chemical rusting is silly. Original paint fade can be said to add character to a ride.


...but intentionally rusting up parts of your perfectly good ride just to be trendy, seems really stupid to me. But, to each his own.




sidenote: Funny how this thread started off about VIP cars. :P

That's where they start? Why don't they just stop there? That looks slick as hell.
Don't rust the bitch up!

(Course.. I probably wouldn't even do that to my car, and DEFINITELY wouldn't rust it on purpose.. but I still like the way it looks.)

Right -- Beautiful - I love that. I don't like huge camber, I like it flush. (I think the tires like it better that way too)

Wrong -- Yak worthy alright, I yaked a little in my mouth

I'm a VIP.



Wait, whats going on here?

[Siriusly.Andrew]

You sir, have been absent a while. So has Gavin (S2KtoFT86). So has Whitecomet too actually... where'd everyone go?

Thinking of absentees.. Where did Axel go, All his posts have been removed. Theres no long a trace of Axel's existence here?

Final semester of undergrad college happened. Got my bachelor's just a few days ago though.

My father's grad present was taking my brothers '06 Fusion off his hands (payments) and giving it to me. Looks like I have a great candidate for a trade-in when the FT-86 comes out!

Until then I finally have a reliable, nice car that I can do all the driving in, and be able to get to work restoring my beloved AE86.

[Siriusly.Andrew]

gratz on the degree mate! Nice on the car front too, I heard the new Fusion was a decently put together unit, though Im still a skeptic. Like you said though, nice trade in when the time comes

[RRnold]

It's all good, that is why I posted this up in the Off-Topic section! Do as you will! Who said it had to be all about VIP talk! :happy0180:
