I feel that look only really works on older cars. I'm not here to **** by any means, just expressin my opinion on it. The lugs look good

They're tacky, imo.

I'll wait for pics of the whole car to judge the hood.

Everyone has an opinion and I had an extra hood so I'm playing with it :)

Yea I love my lugs

Funny to see baller lug nuts on cheap wheels.

Going to withhold judgment on the hood until I see the whole car, but I don't think I'm going to be feeling that either.

EDIT: Looks pretty bad if you ask me. Not as bad as I was expecting, however. The LM reps gotta go.

:banghead: not my cup o tea at all. Not my car. Just thought you guys would be interested in the pics.. Am i the only person who doesnt get this trend at all??

I think i like it.
Seems it would look better if the grille and hood were separate, but don't guess there's much you can do about that.

A quote from "Vwvortex" where your car was posted.

you're definitely not the only one, stupidest thing I've ever seen done to a car. I won't even visit bimmerforums anymore b/c of all the tools going on about rusted hoods and "stanced" rides.

Hahahaha. While I like this look on Mikes car, not so much on yours. But I do heart you.

Lugs are sweet too, must cop.

I don't think it looks that bad :dunno

Props for switching it up a bit though.

ProjektONE

06-18-2009, 09:55 AM

I like the hood ride look, but not on this car. If it were an older car then Im sure I would dig it some, but not on an E46. Props to you for trying something different.

Dude, It took me 5 months to save up fore those and another 3 months fore tires. Im on a tight budget and didnt want used wheels. My Wife and home home before my car :)

take some black paint and splatter it over the rust, then clear coat it. yay

If you are that strapped for money, maybe you shouldn't be driving a modded E46?

Didnt say I was strapped, there is a big diffrence between 1,000.00 and 4,000.00

8 months to afford replica rims and tires is not strapped?

I didn't say buy real LM's. God this is sounding just like the debate on BFC from today. Just forget about it.

No I wasnt meaning it like that man. I take so much each check after paying my bills and everything and put it back for mods I don't make alot of money but I do with what I got :) Other than that I do everything myself AKA maintanance and working on it :)

I dont know what it is, but for some reason I'm liking the rusted hood on there. Even if the car is too new.

Cut him some slack, he also just got married. I didn't buy much 8 months before I got married either. Then got married and couple weeks later we broke ground on a new house.

Some would say, even before putting a little away for a mod fund, that dropping as much into savings each month is more important.

I could turbo both cars quickly if I really wanted to. Buy some wheels from Claus and god knows what else I want to waste money on. I like watching my money market go up each month more though. I'll retire earlier and spend time on the beach or in Snowmass.

the clear will not adimize properly for rust to be cleared over with out looking like shit.

I can dig it. Looks pretty cool with the e46 hood.

Ollie

06-19-2009, 04:30 PM

After staring at it for a while I kind of like the color contrast but I can't get myself to enjoy rust on a new car.

You should have just fully stripped it and clear coated it.

But if it were me I would have fully stripped it, then had one of my friends lay down painters tape pin stripes all over the hood in a random crazy way and then painted the hood black, remove tape and clear it. Now THAt would be sick. And it would have matched your wheels so nicely.

More like a Dorito...Not feeling the whole rust thing. Must be an acquired taste...or maybe my pallet just isn't mature enough.....

I really like the rest of the car though:D

schroedin

Needs more ratty-ish stuff to look good IMO. The Rustvagen had the olive drab bumpers minus turn signals, etc. and it all kinda went together well. This is just too modern for the rust too look good I think. Still, props for doing it though, nice to see something new :)
