RATLUDE......Thoughts folks??

I quite like the rat look, but I am quite fussy with it.
There are are a lot of cars which just don't suit the look, 4th gens are good, but I don't think 5th gens would suit it, along with the vast majority of newer cars.
I also don't like people taking good cars and ruining them by ratting them. For me, ratting should be an improvement to the car you started with, just with little/no consideration of aesthetics. Take my Lude as an example, after the accident it was unroadworthy, but after ratting it was roadworthy. The only reason I sprayed the new panels was because they were silver, which looks terrible with red imo.

However, it's your car. If you want to do it, then go for it.

Yep, 5g with nice front end. (the front end graft looks to have been well thought out, too)

Yer that looks fantastic.....until they ruined it with the utter gash vinyl or paint job.
A nice classy colour could have made it the ultimate Prelude..............

After the 5th gen type s unatts'd
