In all honesty, people just mod their cars to however they like. Not everyone is wanting to mod their cars to impress others - a lot of people just want to try and be different and do something that pleases them.
Fake rust? Yeah it's not everyone's taste and it's understandable. Hell, it's a lot better than rusting your metal to shit with no chance of turning back afterwards. This isn't a "trend" either. Search online and see how many instances of fake rust on vehicles
You have people putting widebody kits and the fattest wheel/tire combo, guys with 8" rims stretch on 165 tires, camber set at -10 degrees, running staggered wheels on FWD cars, cars with massive spoilers/diffusers/splitters solely for that "racecar" look, stickers and sticker bombing everywhere. There's also the guys that go all out on their cars just to hardpark it 95% of the year, and guys that drive with less than 2" ground clearance and scraping on every flat road.
At the end of the day, it's all subjectivity and we shouldn't be disregarding someone's taste due to individual preferences. We should all be appreciating the work put into each and every vehicle.
The automotive scene sure would be a sad place if everyone did the same thing.
I "rusted" my Del Sol because honestly I can't give a fuck about what other people think, because at the end of the day it's how I choose to express myself through my vehicle.
Sometimes I feel as if the "pretentiousness" of the automotive scene really limits people and gets in the way of things. We even have someone on board saying he may not want to put in a certain engine because it would be "sacrilegious"

It just looks so forced, taking a brand new car and modding it using a style that came from a car that's 40 years older just doesn't work.

That's just like fashion. Certain trends come back after dying down. Things don't have to "work" in order for it to look good in the eyes of the beholder.
And remember, the automotive scene is different from place to place. Certain trends and styles may have a large following in Japan, but would be largely "condemned" here.

^Good comparison on the jeans
@jayzed
Building for yourself and not for others is one thing, it's always good to do something different that pleases themselves. Be open to comments and criticism too  | |

Oh.. Wait | I'm assuming you mean the fake patina? It looks like crap (as do those jeans) but that's not what I'm referring to, I'm talking about the whitewall tires and the roof rack and whatnot. If daredevil turned his Mustang into a rad rod it'd look weird as hell, and it's the same deal with that VW imo.
People are obviously free to mod their cars however they want, however people are also free to think it looks like garbage.

Sure the beauty is in the eyes of the beholders, but goodness those rusty looks are hard to appreciate, probably except by a few who would actually "express" themselves through their vehicles.

If that's a 10" rim I'm guessing 245/255 width tires?
