Black or Chrome?

Not all great works of art are confined within the four corners of a gilded frame to be admired from afar. A good lot of them can be found on the inside of a greasy garage or gleaming on the streets; they're not only close to the huddled masses but are actually among them to be freely seen, experienced, and appreciated. And instead of standing on the three legs of an easel, they're proudly propped up by gleaming wheels at each of the four corners. The difference is that they're slammed to the ground, forming a unique sect of car culture popularized by outrageous colors and an even more outrageous style with its own unique sense of showmanship. In a technical context, the term 'lowrider' describes a custom vehicle that has been lowered or 'slammed' , with the subsequent ride height being considerably and precariously lower to the ground than stock. This is made possible through the use of an adjustable suspension system that also allows for a wide range of outrageous poses, from 'bouncing' the car to a three-wheeled stance or even tilting the body forward, backward, and sideways at otherwise impossible angles. That's just half of the equation; the other half has to do with the appearance of the car itself. The process of converting a vehicle to a lowrider means that the stock bodywork and accouterments fly out the window, turning it into a blank canvas to be remade according to how its owner sees fit: loud candy paint jobs with metallic specks in place of nondescript factory hues, emphasized chrome finishes, and custom upholstery at the absolute minimum, among other enhancements. But lowriders don't just refer to the cars themselves, as the phrase has been co-opted by those who take pride in these creations behind the wheel, organizing themselves into car clubs whose bonds go beyond the smell of gasoline and high-gloss paint. Like all forms of self-expression, the lowrider traces its roots in rebellion, a raw fist in the air against the established status quo.
