[B16KILLA]

:wtf: :thumbdn:
Thats just wrong!

[lostforawhile]

:jaw: amazing,even if you don't like lowriders,which I have a lot of respect for,it's still an amazing amount of work. does someone know how to get ahold og that person or is that an old pic?

[maxoutracer]

classic... i see it somewhere, i might have that issue in my garage.

[Bglad420]

AAAAAAWWWWWWWW Thats special....the shining hurts my eyes!:wtf:

[lostforawhile]

well you have to admit,even if it's not your style,they must like the car enough to put that much work into it, it's not like rice where they slap some cheap junk on a civic,lowriders take tons of custom work and many many hours to build. I've done lots of custom work on my car,it's taken seven years so far,and i can't even imagine the amount of effort that went into that.

:. does someone know how to get ahold og that person or is that an old pic?
i was thumbing through an older magazine and saw it. i thought of this web site first thing. and yeah that is a lot of work. later.

[88Accord-DX]

Wow, bling bling. Sittin sidewaze on 20" gold twinkies. Look like some late 80, early 90's pics.

[russiankid]

props for the hard work, i can tell it took alot, but cutting the roof and the purple doesnt go to well, nore the huge amount of chrome IMO, but nice work tho

[gfrg88]

ha, i remember that, ive only seen one pic of it before though, and i think thats cool, i personally wouldnt do that to my car but you have to admit thats a lot of custom work an i mean a lot of custom work :rockon::rice:

[Bglad420]

My eyes still hurt, but those seats are pretty original

[gfrg88]

yeah true that sure is too much bling, i think it would be good if he put some purple in there so it would flow better with the rest of the car

[lostforawhile]

well it's traditional lowrider. I wonder how much it cost to have all that stuf chromed? the purple represents royalty as does the crown

[Bglad420]

It looks like he has a mirror for a motor!

[TypeG]

well it's traditional lowrider. I wonder how much it cost to have all that stuf chromed? the purple represents royalty as does the crown
he might have done it himself, i did. if so, its real cheap. i spent like $20 bucks on materials for mine. people mistake it for chrome all the time, but its polished. refer to sig. later

[88Accord-DX]

Get ready for a 2-3 paragraph reply. :)

[myaccord7]

wow, cool. i like the lack of top and the doors but i dont like the paint, rims, and the interior. lots of hard work, looks cool



zach

[TheWatcher]

Looks photoshoped to me.

And the owner must be color-blind. :lol:

Not hating, just made me laugh. :)

Peace.

[theDougler]

looks pretty good, props to that guy who spent a hell of a lot of time on it. eventhough i'm not into the lowrider thing it looks pretty good.

[A20A1]

It was for sale on E-Bay or some for sale site... thats where I saw the pictures of it first.

[JDMH22aAccord3g]

that's mexican domestic market yo.

[Bglad420]

that's mexican domestic market yo.
^^^^What a dork............

[ICEMAN707]

lol the interior looks like Prince's living room. I'm definitely interested in all the chrome engine parts and that custom lambo door kit though.

[thegreatdane]

that car is so old. But cool nonetheless. That's alot of custom shit there

[Cheeseburger]

i wonder how the car looks now...

[snoopyloopy]

clean, though i wouldn't do that to my 3g. i would rather spend my money on other things besides purple interiors.

[2drSE-i]

It was for sale on E-Bay or some for sale site... thats where I saw the pictures of it first.


yea it was on ebay 6 months ago. went for 3 grand. :( tons of custom work and what happens, it gets sold for blue book value. lucky he got that tho since the car is (DEFINATELY) not mint.

[wprocomp]

yeah I emailed him trying to get parts off it but he wouldnt budge with the strutbar,so i said screw it

[lostforawhile]

Get ready for a 2-3 paragraph reply. :)LOL

[danronian]

I remember a few years back the owner was selling that on ebay.

[A18A]

thats a very hard to describe car, its alot better than my car but i wudnt wanna take mine that far :S and what do you do if you wanna put your shopping in your trunk but you parked right next to a van or sumtin?

[86lxinva]

yea i got that issue nice car and alot of work

[86lxinva]

i agree

[Deadhead]

OH GOD

that thing is so goddamn riduculousely fugly!!!

i mean, jeez, a bit over done EH?

i guess w/e floats their boat....

oh, and i saw that on ebay a good long time ago too.... thought it was ugly then too, and i wasn't into 3rd gen's yet.

[lostforawhile]

the main difference between a ricer and a lowrider,is someone who builds a lowrider like this,has to fabricate a lot of the stuff themselves and get creative,how often do you see a ricer make something themselves,or even try to make something themselves.

[2drSE-i]

i saw Custom Cars on modern marvels the other day

they made the transition from lowriders as a trend to Import Tuners, and this made me sad: "But, as years progressed, the DIY generation (Do it yourself) turned into the DIFM generation. (Do it for me) Now, instead of doing their own work on their cars, these Import tuners (usually young adults between the ages of 16 and 25) depend almost entirely on shops to do things for them" or something like that, wording was not exact, but it was still depressing. this is a DIY board, so we can call ourselves gearheads instead of import tuners.

[lostforawhile]

well said,and what agrevates me,is that they go to car shows and show their cars, that they had someone else build. car shows are supposed to be about doing something yourself. not bragging about what your money had someone else do. why would i be interested in your car or talking to you about it when you never lifted a finger on it. :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

[2drSE-i]

ill pay someone to do something over my head. but when a cold air intake is over my head.....id rather just drive a stock car.

[Sporno]

i agree if its over my head like a P&P job .. thats one thign , but putting on a CAI ... thats nothing
