There are virtually limitless ways of customizing a car these days. And if your into hip hop and all that, that usually means bling, bling, and more bling. You gotta put it down for your hood, reassuring them that we’re in it all the way. Make rival hoods cream themselves when they see your ride. Bring on those huge chrome 24s and you’ll get everybody’s respect. Then give your ride its voice by installing the most powerful amps and subwoofers you can lay your grubby little paws on. Then add some gigantic LCD screens, a couple of playstation 3s, and maybe just for fun, a mini bar, and watch every face in the neighborhood turn green with envy. These are just some of the ways you can trick out your ride that guarantees absolute satisfaction. This though while getting yourself respect does little for your crew and hood. There is one way of tricking out your ride that will earn you points from your crew while making a strong statement to your enemies.
Art is a very good medium of voicing out your beliefs and ideas. Remember when you used to tag your foes’ territory using a couple of cans of spray paint just so they’d know that your crew ain’t messing around? Well that same method can now be used on your car. So, instead of remaining in walls that don’t move, you can take your crew’s tag wherever you go. A lot of great artist out there will be glad to airbrush your insignia unto your car’s hood. So now you can broadcast “EZ crew forever” or “Westside till I die” everywhere. Now that’s cementing your crew’s rep.
A lot of artists have gone and put the faces of loved one that passed away. Missy Elliot’s got aliyah’s face on her hood. That’s a good way of showing her love for her deceased friend. You can borrow that idea but instead of putting someone else’s face, why not put you own so your rivals will know who they are dealing with. Put it down with your face in your meanest pose while totting a couple of AK-47s and you’ll notice that rivals scurry away as soon as they catch a glimpse of your wicked ass ride.
Now if that isn't putting it down for your hood, i don't know what is
