Ok, you get the basic idea.. I'm writing a letter to an apartment building that doesn't fix anything but is concerned about how it looks on the outside...maybe that helps.

You can dress up a pig and call it a lady-but it's still a stinking pig!

I thought it was something like you can dress up a pig, but it is still a pig....maybe not with the word pig. I could be entirely wrong...ill keep looking into it.
."You can dress up a pig..but it’s still a pig.”
Henry Rollins
Side note-I am not sure this is appropriate for a letter to a housing office. You could simply state that they should not focus just on the outside of the apartment. Just an idea.

I can't find this on the Internet but someone with patience probably can. I think its "you can dress up a PIG..." but I don't know the rest. Good luck.

You can put a pig in a prom dress and call it a date, but it's still a pig.

You can pour syrup on crap, but that doesn't make pancakes. What it is saying is that you can dress somebody up, but the cloths still won't make them act accordingly. I think that's what your looking for? The saying uses the S instead of crap.

well there is one that goes - you can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl... but i don't really think of that as meaning judging a book by it's cover...
there is always the simple - "the clothes don't make the man"

Priest walking along a cliff, sees a little boy crying. "What's wrong, little boy?" he asks.
"My Mummy fell over the cliff" cries the boy, "and then my daddy fell over too trying to save her, and now they're both dead at the bottom of the cliff".
"Oh dear" says the priest, lifting his cassock, "today isn't your lucky day, is it?"
