the hood? no, factory steel.

one of the new trends in the vw/bmw world is rusty hoods. most people hate it, i like it.

plus i plan on buying a few hoods to do a few diff finishes. change the hood depending on the look i want

and i'm 100% decided on flat blacking the car (will start weds) and gloss red wheels (whatever i can find or the 15" steelies if i buy tires)

I just painted my vx wheels Red last night....White car too. (casper)

And I'd rather see you make a vw/bmw a rusty car but to each his own.

Keep us posted.....

the plan was actually to do the rusty hood to a volvo 240 wagon, but the festy was a deal i couldn't refuse.

and plans for tonite are short shifter (free/will post a diy), carbon scoop, and maybe....exhaust?

^ There already is a DIY for a short shifter

Carbon scoop with a rusted hood? I have to see that but it doesn't sound too good. Actually, I don't like hood scoops

yea, that's a 10$ diy. mine's free

got the scoop when i worked at a carbon fab shop and haven't had a use for it. it's a tiny naca that i think will be just right. will post pics tomm.

Hey, free is good! Definitely post some pictures.

will do. basically you cut the metal between the ball and the lower joint and weld in a piece of metal, therefore creating a longer pivot/shorter throw

I never thought about it that way. I guess you could make your own like that.

very easy and takes no time at all. we usually just throw a 1/2" long bolt in and cover it with weld :laughing5:

Well, that's not free! I would have to buy a welder LOL

I replaced my shifter with a fairly decent copy of a B&M short shifter for a civic made from steel and it's a lot better but the shifter know now sits too low. Modding the stock shifter would take care of that. Take some measurements to see how much throw reduction you get.

i was lookin at the ebay shifter/knob/boot kits and honestly i'll prolly end up ordering one. but first i have to decide if i want a center console or not. if not, then no boot.

and the only reason i'll actually buy one is for the color lol

but i'll post measurements with pics
