Car #1 pics:

Car #1 has the classic lowrider style with 13-inch wire wheels with way too many spokes.  Hopefully, they’re real Daytons for street cred (well, cred if you go back to 1995).

While some silly pinstriping is visible, this car look otherwise largely stock – aside from those terrible wheels.

Tires have thin white walls – perfectly appropriate for the style.  Note the chromed suspension bits.

Interior is two-tone suede and not as terrible as one might expect.  What’s the impression on the door panel?  A crown?

Under the hood, we find serious detailing and chrome.  The seller claims the firewall has been shaved and has a mural, but we can’t tell from here.

Car #2 pics:

Car #2 wears appropriately tacky 20-inch rims, AKA dubs.  Hmm…does the hood little a bit strange?

Yes, this one has a full hood mural!  What is it, you ask?  Scroll down, to find out.

How about a close-up?  Surely there are plenty of Miami Dolphins fans around the Inland Empire.  Given #13, we have to assume this is Dan Marino.

Custom interior is actually not bad, but the chain wheel helps to offset any thoughts of tastefulness.

A chrome chain wheel simply wouldn’t do!  Hopefully, a dash coverlay is available, as the carpet mat seems silly when the rest looks pretty good.
