Ugh. I hate this trend so much. If I ever see anyone roll up in some rusted piece of crap with junk on the roof of the car I will automatically assume they have no taste and they have an IQ of a rock. I wouldn't want that thing near my car for fear of catching it's disgusting rust disease.

Try not to think of it as rust, but rather 'applied oxidation' for lack of a better term. Not sure what the actual process on either of those is, but think of it as applying any kind of finish to metal. Be it paint, chroming, powder-coat, or what have you. So it's not structurally harming the metal itself, but just a top coating of some sort.

I guess if it doesn't affect the integrity of said material, it's fine. It's different, and as a car enthusiast, I respect that. Just not my cup of tea

I'm assuming it's some sort of treatment. Lot's of different ways to patina metals, ranging from coatings (like chrome), to chemical/acid type baths, and all sorts of stuff between.
