10. Exhaust that sounds like a supercharged weedeater with a Nitro Boost kit on it and a tail pipe big enough to put a watermelon inside
9. Bright neon rope lights usually duck taped to the rocker panels to give off that sweet ass glow at night.
8. Bass so loud it vibrates cars 4 blocks away (this car is usually accompanied by a young white male that wishes he was from different ancestry)
7. A Hood Scoop for a 1.5 liter 4 banger. (still haven't figured that one out)
6. Some sort of chinese or japanese writing on the windshield that if you asked, they would not be able to tell you what it means.
5. Front ground effects that are usually all smashed up because the dumbass forgets he took off his suspension and now has 3/4" of ground clearance.
4. Paint jobs that cost more than the car did.
3. $8,000 rims on a 1987 Honda Civic....nuff said
2. The person driving it usually starts his sentences with "yo son, what up foo"

AND THE NUMBER ONE DEFINITION OF A LOWRIDER IS........

1. Fins on the trunk that are so big that they would even look funny on top of a semi.

Just my 2 cents.....If I have offended anyone by the statement above, you're probably in the wrong forum.
