Like Lowriders, I can appreciate the work but I dont care for lowriders. I think they are an abomination and they ruin perfectly good cars like 63 Impalas with 13" gold wire rims, funky paints jobs and 50 yards of crushed red velvet. but it makes them happy and they like it and thats all that really counts.
I am of the opinion that if it doesn't make it go faster, it is useless fluff.
I have seen tons of corvettes that have been chromed and painted to the gills in the engine compartments. I have no love for these garage queens and their owners who refuse to drive them except onto and off of the trailer, and maybe to the occasional local car show.
Like I said, if it's not a go-faast part, it's wasted weight.*
