Why in the world is the front clip covered in fabric?

Better water retention?

I cannot figure out that detail myself.

Is that blended in to the rest of the black area using Photoshop?

I'm all sad inside.

Moon discs don't equate to a rat rod.

Edit - they're clip ons. Cheezus H. Crust.

Is that baling twine in the battery compartment? Maybe this is a rat-baler!

It's a bra.



It looks more like an odd, bluish matte black primer to me.

That was my thought until I read the entertaining text of the ad:

"The car has a stafast top and the front fenders are covered in stafast fabric the same as the top".
