hahah...i actually thought about that...painting the fenders to look like it is rusty even though its not...funny.
Part of me would like to get a descent paint job so I can admire the car and the other part of me thinks its more practical to keep it looking distressed even though its in perfect working order. I'm more interested in keeping the body rust free and light than blinged, and showey.

The peace of mind in knowing that people will overlook your car is priceless.

What do you guys think about replacing body panels on your cars with fiberglass versions? I priced out fiberglass 1. front fenders 2. hood. 3 truck lid 4. doors and it came to about 1300.00 for do the swap. A full carbon fiber version would be around 2400.00 but carbon fiber would be too showey.

1 benefit of it is ofcourse less weight and 2nd is fiberglass doesn't rust.
I'm not sure how much weight I would save in steel vs. fiberglass.

Thoughts?
