Japanese Fad of Lowriders

those fenders are way out of control... those old school rides are loco... that's what i call japanese domestic rides... looks like all of the 1st generation and new generation of autobots like iron hide, rachet, prowl, hotrod, blitzkreig and optimus with an all new make over importing guys from WCC, pimped them out and gathered in a tail gate party, backyard style...

Japanese Fad of Lowriders

I saw this thread from Tremek. I was shocked at all the crazy mods these guys did to their cars/vans/trucks. Man I don't know what to think of it, but looking at the pics really ticled my fancy. I just hope this fad of theirs down there doesn't catch on here.

8 months ago just came back and slapped us in the face =P

my bad if this was a repost. first time I saw it and just loved it so much that I had to show people.

gotta love the riced out mini vans

^__^;; heh. i do like that ayumi hamasaki van. there's tons in japan. it's like each member of the fanclub has one dedicated to ayu.

also, when i read Japanese Lowriders, i thought it was this

http://www.lowriderjapan.net/

the Lowrider magazine published in america, is also published in Japan with their lowriders.

I'm not kidding here...I've seen a van with a bodykit, rims, drop, wing, exhaust, and roll call.

It was a debadged Honda Odyssey

in the san gabriel valley in CAlifornia, there are numerous Odyssey's that are fixed up. "fixed" is a questionable word.

when i get more time, i'd like to fix up my previa. fun mini-van that is. i like it much better than it's stretched camry turned van Sienna.

i want to stab my eyes out

what are those garden hose thing coming out of the front grill?

Dude.... There is a serious lack of Latino immigrants / long term visitors in Japan.

repost... but still funny

i like some of the cars

the pale purple car is cute, the vans are hilarious

They are hooked up to the oilcoolers thats sticking out on the front bumper of alot of the cars. Those really bright trucks are cool. I'd like to see them driving around and see what havok they'd to do cops of having neons.

they sure look damn ugly with those hoses sticking out!
i've seen those previa vans with wings when i was in japan, they look wild. they customize a lot of vans there, wild looking shit.

i think they used to use external oil coolers in racing on older cars because there is no place where they can get very good cooling inside the car without blocking cooling for other parts of the engine.

those are some crazy ass exhaust pipes.....looks like that car could double as the worlds largest bong....haha....just stick a freakin dooby in one of those dayum things, start er up, and feel weightless......hahaha....

why must people do that... wheres suicide bombers when u need them... ffs!

Those things are ugly as hell...and I think this is a repost but oh well.

thanks for sharing the pics!

it amazes me how japanese peeps are able to have a gathering that big ...

it's not a SEMA convention or anything ...

but they were a lot!
