The imagination knows no limits, if you have a lowrider.
When I say it's a rage, I only know that people have to spend thousands of dollars on their lowrider, adding sound systems, hand-painted murals, and hydraulics. They delight in dealing with excessive chrome, wheels and overspoked coat. You have two mirrors on each side of the handlebars, spare parts, tires on the back ... oh, all kinds of things.
To give an idea of what a lowrider look, you will find on the Web, there are many sites that display these creations. lowrider.com was one of the first on the scene, how to use the domain name. There are many more and also lovelylowrider.com streetlowrider.com
