Little Project. Hot or Not? Biting VW Style?
I've spent the last 3 days working on this:
I have an older no-name roof basket that I used to utilize on my Benz Wagon. It was black, but some of the finish had come off and was rusting under that.
I wire-brushed the **** out of it and wiped it down with Prep-Solv->
I then painted two coats of Rustoleum Hammered-Finish Silver paint->
First coat->
Second coat->
I then took my wind-fairing and polished the "Yakima" text off the black finish, and applied "Audi Quattro" decals similar to the graphics they used in the 80' on the winning rally race cars->
On the car results->
And some shots with "gear"->
So...what do you think Hot? or Not?
Maybe biting some VW style?

Sweet.. when filled with stuff.
I would have blacked out the fairing... no logo at all.
you ARE going to take it off when not loaded with stuff... right?
empty it might be a tad dorky.
