I think you're pretty much spot on with a lot of what you said. Keep the videos comin', Mr. Kiloz!!
Thanks Volo 🙏🏽
Was good Kiloz, we met in L.A. you were covering the USO 30th Anniversary. I enjoyed your video. I agree on most of your points especially the white inner fenders and 3" WW's. But at the end of the day, to each his own. The wonderful thing about Lowriding is every car, bike, truck or pedal car are blank canvases. And each builder is there own artist. I'm one of those people that has a Booty Kit on my GBody. In my area of the world, it helps me stand out from other builds! I love mine and REALLY don't care who doesn't like it!
When it comes to engraving, I literally just got into it about 2.5 yrs now. I have had good success with the company I have dealt with as far as quality. However I agree totally that they are accents. The one thing I told myself I was not going to do is OVER ENGRAVE! I didn't want my car to look like "June Bug" from I'm Gonna Get You Sucka😅
Speaking only for my ride less is more. I have accents on the engine, some interior and a couple of pieces in the trunk for a flow through the car, not take over the car. It's almost like Big rims, everything should accentuate the ride. If you look at the ride and your only take away was "look at those rims on that car vs look at that bada** car then you've detracted from it!
But again I say to each his own, my 2 cents! Peace and Blessings 🙏🏿
🌴 Peace UCE, thanks for taking time and checking
Out my video. I agree everyone has a blank canvas, I just wanted to share the perspectives that were shared with me. As I mentioned I almost went with the continental kit on my cutlass and I have one for my 64 but don’t know if I want to run it or not. I like engraving that looks different from others work but if you and the car next to you has the same exact part from the same vendor it’s less cool in my eyes but that’s just me personally. Peace and many blessings UCE 🌴
I agree with your list. One to add to that/your list is stock/reinforced rear-ends, and/or Toyota (Tacoma) rear-ends under lowriders. I don't understand how one spends thousands of dollars on reinforced frame, Adex dumps, fake Zeniths, engraving, and patterns, but reinforce a stock rear-end or get a Toyota rear-end from a salvage yard. Doesn't make sense (to me).
I agree and have spoken to several people about this, their response is usually similar in a sense; they don’t want to put no Ford part in a Chevy. I design to have the least points of failure, so no axel runs, no welding the axel bearing on, no snapping axels; go ford 9 but it’s interesting hearing peoples reasoning, I can usually respect that one depending when the car was built.
@KilozMedia I have a Pitbull rear-end for my '64 Buick Wildcat. Bought a rear-end from a donor Wildcat, sent it to Brent (Pitbull Hydraulics), and the rest is history.
I like how you said, these things have worn out their welcome. Thats what it is. Theres all types of lowriders, traditionalists, progressives/visionaries. So some guys try to push it further and further and sometimes its cool and sometimes its not. Way back some 1st guy decided to chrome suspension parts and chrome everything. That stuck. From competition or visionaries, the next guy had to out do them so they started gold plating everything and that was looked at as better and more expensive. Next guy had to outdo that so he engraved everything cuz it cost more. Next guy had to outdo that so they did gold and chrome engraving. It just couldnt evolve anymore, it got more affordable and it got played out when everyone was getting it. The classic clean chrome started to look better then everything engraved. Same with wheels, look what people do to wheels now, 3 different colors, twisted spokes, rings, chips, hub rings, engraving etc etc, they did that to outdo the next guy but at some point just a classic plain dayton looks better then all that. Wireless switches was someone trying to use technology, but it just wasnt necessary. So i can appreciate those that try to push the customizing theres always gonna be those guys, but like you said, alot of it has wore out its welcome.
I like gangster windows myself, plan on running one on my 61 rag. I agree with the engraving though unless its something custom. Buying engraved parts that are the same as everyone else is really lame.
When it comes to the high lockups I couldn't care either way. Don't personally plan to have a high lockup on my car. I am more of a simple lay and play guy. When I was younger I would have been into that, but my taste has become more refined as I got older.
We seem to be on the same page then 😎
I’ve always thought the simpler the better engraving looks TOO. Much & them high lockups are burned out a lowrider is supposed to LAY and look beautiful yet simple 👍 half of the cars you see dont even lay
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 that’s what I’m saying
Vw window😂😂😂😂 u got shit all wrong homie…… these small windows came out of bombs and Cadillacs from back in the days…. U cant put no curved shape window in the rear…. It’s gotta be flat….😂😂😂lol 😂
If you say so 🤷🏽♂️ I’ve had people tell me that’s the window they looked for in the early days before people started making them specifically for lowriders. What other cars came with a small rear window on a rag top?
@@KilozMedia bombs and Cadillacs 54-38
Ur getting ur info from people who don’t even build cars… just because someone tells u something does not mean their right…. Especially when ur going on a platform and use their info on ur platform…. Makes u not look bright
Yes they are actually from cabriolet models of old Ford's, the 30s convertibles they were the regular window on the vert top. There was a few sizes. I'm personally putting one on my vert but it's the bigger size not those "mail slot" ones that are only 2-3" tall. Another downside of the cabriolet window is you can't see the plaque looking in or traffic looking out. I've never heard of them on Volkswagens but maybe it's possible. Just doing research you'll see they are cabriolet windows. You'll see them at hot rod shows too.
Well said!
Thanks 🙏🏽
Great video man!
Thanks homie peace and many blessings hope all is well
@@KilozMedia thank you man. We gotta reconnect this year. Been working behind the scenes on something big for the lowrider and classic car scene. Dropping this summer!
@@RahFree yea man if you’re ever out in your home city hit me up, I’ll be at the normal Indiana events too. Looking forward to what you’re working on 😎
Awesome Video my Boi! 👏🏼💯 🫡
Muchas gracias pana!
There is stuff that is becoming VERY “Cookie Cutter” and in my humble Midwest born and raised that is exactly what lowriding is not about. Lowriders are about expressing your individuality. The engraving company making cookie cutter parts that all look the same as well and most of time fit like shit. Then you call them telling them that you have a pillar trim that doesn’t fit and they argue with you that it does lol. Now we are starting to get some of these hydraulic companies that are also pre-making hydraulic components that are also cookie cutter, specifically racks, battery tie-downs, pump mount platforms and trunk panels. In 10 years are we going to be able to go to autozone and get all this stuff? 😂😂
Spot on my brother 👏🏽
I definitely think engraving is becoming a over kill on cars & lowrider bikes ...still more into the OG style of both things definitely changed since i started in 91 ...keep up the dopeness 💯 ☝️💙 Nuttin But Luv Familia worldwide
Thanks for checking out the video, engraving has definitely become overkill when its done badly. Peace to the Nuttin But Luv squad.
I agree, but also in the next 4-5 years there will a whole new list of things that are played, and some stuff will come back in.
I agree, trends come very few stay long term most go away.
Everyone builds there canvas with there own colors and lines ....there is no politics in art and some maybe better than others " reason why everyone has there own name ! To everyone lowriding not critical of the Game keep lowriding "
Just like in fashion things go in and out of style. Some things are times like a suite and sometimes things age like when everyone had white tee’s 8x down to their knees. Both exist during the same time but one is still in fashion and the other is not. Same difference with lowriding.
another great video and I almost agree on everything with you. Gangster windows are overdone, engraving looks like wrinkled tin foil to me, high lock ups = clown cars and are horrible to ride in.
A friend of mine went to school to become a gun engraver. His engraving is totally different - he even engraves little hunting scenes and stuff like that. Less is more and be different. Like you said, it all comes from the same source, it looks cheap and overdone.
Regarding the gangster white walls, I always thought its a New Mexico thing. And in the 90s there were some Central Coast and norther California cars with wide whitewalls. Pegasus Hobbies sold 'Gangster Whitewalls' - I was really stoked and wanted to put them on a bomb. But in the end it looked so weird. The still lay around and I never liked them on any of my model builds. But they do look good on a NW Lowrider.
Reverbs Rules!!!!!
White undercarriage is cool but I am into 60s custom cars.
What I don t like most of the paint jobs look the same. They all go for that Kandy NChrome roof design. And everybody is rocking the fake Zeniths.
STREET ROD INTERIORS ARE LAME. Don t try to win the riddler.
Thanks for always checking out my content! I like good engraving parts but a lot of the parts are trash. I honestly died with the New Mexico white walls comment, it does seem to be more New Mexico cars with those tires then a anywhere else. 60’s and 70’s era builds definitely rule for sure 😎
What’s up Kiloz?!?! I’ve been saying for awhile now that engraving is a fad! These guys are engraving every inch of metal on their rides and paying good money to do it. In a couple years they will be taking that shit off and going back with stock chrome bumpers, side moldings, etc. I do like “some” engraving for accents. Less is more in my opinion. As for all these lights, it’s getting outta hand. It reminds me of the 90’s when everyone was putting those neon tubes on their 5.0’s here in Chicagoland. It was cool for a minute but we moved on. Finally, gangster windows are bad-ass!!
Couldn’t agree more, thanks for checking out the video
Do you have the magazine with the 64 Impala named light my fire
I have all the magazines lowrider magazines and most other magazines so I’d feel comfortable saying yes I do.
@@KilozMedia would you sell that magazine
@@kristenbroadway9995 I dont even know which one that is, what year and month is it?
@@KilozMedia I don't remember had to be in the 90s maybe 96 or 97
@@kristenbroadway9995 I have about 3 copies per issue from 1996-1997 😅
So clown cars with weight in the back is traditional 🤔
Its kind of is based on San Jo standards
What part of Ohio are you from.
Cleveland, but I travel to all the Cities for lowrider events; I have footage from all over Ohio.
Let’s talk about powder coated Lowrider bikes with all powder coated parts def not og
Unless it’s all black powder coating on a under carriage on a car, powder coating and lowriders don’t go together well.
Gangster windows are ugly. So is engraving and high lock ups
Thanks for checking out the video and we seem to mostly agree 😎
Y’all obviously forgot the point of lowriding, unless it’s a shitty looking mod, it’s all good. Wanna do it differently? Build your own fucking car then🤣
Some of these things listed does look shitty that’s the point. I also mentioned my impala and showed it in this video.
@@KilozMedia Oh you thought I was talking to you, no it’s not directed towards you, it’s directed to the nitpicky foo’s saying engraving and patterns don’t belong as well as other things that when done right, look good as hell, for those that complain about “this shouldn’t be in lowriding” they should build their own shit to their specs😂
@@Art-gg3dzthanks for clarifying 😂 peace and many blessings homie.
@@KilozMedia Stay up homes, God bless🙏🏽
Get a new mic..or better mic
Yea mic quality was bad on this one, still learning it sorry homie
The same ole same ole paint jobs need to stop! Time to be more creative. So over the typical cookie cutter paint jobs such as candy n chrome.
What would you like to see on differently on paint jobs? You think chrome is over done?
@@KilozMedia I'm talking about the shop candy n chrome. Dude does the same patterns on every car, just changes colors lol
@@KilozMedia that's for a example. Also tired of seeing everyone bolt on every accessory you can buy on one bike. Just cause you can doesnt mean you should lol
@@mikepeace6694 ohh I definitely agree with that on the bikes, when I was younger I definitely was one of those people but I learned fast 🤣
@@KilozMediayou know I'm not knocking china because honestly not everyone has the funds or resources for custom or original parts. It has its pros and cons but just stop with bolting on every dang part.
