you want to stay with 80s chevy/ general motors cars, known as G bodies.
Monte carlo, regal, cutlas, gran prix, malibu, el camino.
those are the best, and easiest to lowride.
best setup for a 16 yearold new lowrider would be 2 pumps, 4 dumps, and 4 batteries, along with 4 switches to control everything.
Best to save up and have a pro install the hydros .. alot can go wrong if you do not know what you are doing!.
13inch knockoff wire wheels are the best and only wheel you can buy for those cars, its a lowrider rule!
clean factory interior is easiest, and a nice candy flaked paint job!

hm...i know how much one of those cars will prolly cost...but how much for the hydraulic setup you mentions + professional installation...and how much for the flake paint job? Also i live in florida too man...boca raton. Also i have no idea where to go around here for lowrider customs and stuff...like hydraulics and candy paint jobs and stuff like that. I live in south florida in boca...so if you got any help on that...and the approximate price of course.

you can get a nice ride as mentioned for about 1500 bucks...
rims, for about 500 with tires..
you can get a hydro setup fpr a grand then the installation prices will vary...
i dont know much about down in south florida. there are alot of riders down there, and a few shops..
do a search in your phone book, or on the net for down in miami, for
REDS
see if they are still there..

i think the only problem for me will be the paint job....i mean how much does it honestly cost to get a reallllyyyyy nice paint job. Like they have on pimp my ride(minus te decals and shit). Just out of curiousity, how do they get those paintjobs where it shows like jesus on the hood...you know what im talking about? How much are those?

murals that are good are going to be expensive and you get what you pay for in that area..
look for around 2000 bucks for a good quality paint job, plus the cost of the mural..

Looks like homie needs to start saving some money!!
