Not a fan as it looks in that picture, I'm finding the whole combo a little too contrived. However, bare metal cars work for me on the whole... So fair play on that one.  |

Not really feeling it.
Maybe lose the Trim and patina the metal a bit more. Not rusty just a bit more worn.
Although I prefer my cars painted.

Aside from the bare metal, I just don't get the white walls and the roof rack on a car that young. I know there are no rules to modding but I just feel that items that are so much older than the base car are very difficult to pull off. There are exceptions of course but that just doesn't do it for me. It is a mid 80's VW, loads of black trim and all, the white walls just look a bit contrived. Like the owner really wishes he had a Ghia or a Bug but for some reason doesn't.

Why the hell not......as a wise monkey once told me "Your Ride, Your Way"  (Though if it were mine the rack wouldn't be there ;D) |

Your opinion is invalid, I've seen your wife.

No matter how may people think this is 'done too much' or whatever i have to say i like it. I've yet to see either a bare metal car or a satin/matt car in real life so rock on til your heart's content

I like it and i think it will look even better once the owner returns from the tip and removes the rack. I would like to bare metal a car but it would have to be something that was brand new and very expensive. Wonder how i would get on with the anti corrosion guarantee, be an interesting showroom argument |
