Did you watch the same video you posted ? The interior is stock , the paint looks good , don't recognize the hood, the wheels are a personal choice type of thing.

As for the language well.......

[Spectragod]

The exact reason I didn't take that "more than fair" offer for mine.

[03blackvegas]

What language were they using?, the caption said, $40,000.00 worth of performance under the hood, but no reason to show whats under the hood.

Actually I think the car looks pretty good. The paint is beautiful. The interior is done very well except for the headliner. Car sounds good. It is one of the more tasteful jobs done unlike the "orange-copper" one in the other video. Some would say that all the aftermarket pieces (superchargers, exhaust, widen wheels, etc.) ruin these limit edition cars. I say who am I to judge. To each their own.

[loud2004marquis]

Do like the lightened interior along with the light flint seats, should've used the chrome shifter bezel though. Car has an awesome idle sound, wonder whats under the hood? Saw a boost gauge...

I like it, but many things I would have NOT done. Paint looks great.

I'm not a fan of ghetto makeovers but the Kandy brandywine one is pretty nicely done besides the wheels and hood. Interior looks better all light in my opinion than the factory light flint setup which looks like they just threw seats in from another car. If it had twenty inch chrome wheels that looked like the factories, I think it would have looked pretty cool. best hood marauder I have seen so far as most are just stupid. The guy with the orange one is a different story entirely.. I'm sure most hate them both But hey posts like these are for opinions either way. Would I do it to any of mine? Hell no but but this is the hood version of a kustom. this is essentially what they did back way back when to almost new cars but with better taste. would George Barris approve? I would say probably not.

I say the more guys that do this to their cars the more valuable ours become. 1. There will be fewer original cars on the market. 2. Maybe they beome more desirable to urbanites wanting to do the same transformations as seen above.

I always thought that the OEM 'light flint' interior looked strange.....just like you said:

Someone threw light colored seats into a dark grey interior.

Gotta ask yourself, "how many bone stock Marauders are there out there now?"

[djcrook73]

Between the wrecked ones and "urban modified" I wonder how many are left at all.. Seems like a fair amount have been lost to both. Kinda like my 76 grand Prix. 4807 Anniversary models were made but I wish I knew how many were actually left.

I have definitely seen worse. It looks like it's being taken care of at least.

I'd rather see one like this than the ones being parted out on this site FWIW.

[camelgrundle]

I love these cars very much. Saying that if I had to keep mine stock I would not have owned it for this long :). Whatever floats your boat.

[Zack]

Haha there was some butthurt apparently

[Turbov6Bryan]

Tell you what, that interior looks much better than the factory light flint, much better mono tone

That car with a set of Simmons would make this white boy proud to own it

Looks good to me

[daddyusmaximus]

I fully understand the theory of "to each his own" , but there's no accounting for taste. This is a horrible thing to do to a decent car.



Oh, and learn how to speak. NowhatImean? For real.

The name of the wheels on the first car is said in the video of the the orange car. You have to be from the hood to understand the lingo. Lol. It is what it is.

Would you really welcome them, let us be real here. I understood what they were saying fine, I wouldn't do anything like that to any of my cars present or future simply because I'm into speed and hate standing out. But I'll respect anything that was done right and most of those cars were done right, may not be to my or your taste but that is why it's "their" car.

The purple car sounded really good also

Why wouldn't we welcome a fellow Marauder owner here? I would. I'd still think their style choice is weird, but they'd be welcome.

We can have different styles, even make fun of each other with out it always turning into hate. I'm sure racism is running through some people's minds because this is a group of black guys that pretty much meet the standard for inner city guys. It's not, at lease it isn't to me. I openly make fun of people (ALL people) I think are being stupid, but I don't freak out when others think I'm being stupid... I think the ease at which people are offended, and the violence that people often respond with, needs to come under control. It's not always hate. Most often it's just people being different.

I think these big city guys have piss poor taste in wheels, and need to learn to speak so they can be understood, but I'm sure to them I'm a redneck bumpkin that sounds like a hick. I still like my car as much as they like theirs.

As long as nobody attacks the good Lord that made me, my family he gave me, or my country I served for so long, we can get along.

[MGDriver]

I would be happy to welcome them, at the end of the day we still like the same type of car even if we have a different taste as far as modifications go.

And why would you say that?

You understood that garbled mash of words????m seriously?

[jwibbity]

Really its not that hard to understand them. Its called a damn accent, just like barely understanding somebody from deep in the south with a heavy accent.

I'm with blkZoom, some of you don't have **** to say unless its bashing somebody else s car, lifestyle or choices.

Lol yes, It's weird but I do understand them fine.

I would say it's no different than understanding someone who lives out of the city in Alabama they could any race it's just how that some in that area speak.

Example I'm from Boynton Beach Florida, I have two other cousin who lived in that same city one speaks like them and the other speaks just fine. I've always found it confusing and odd really

It's called "Peer Pressure". These guys do what their friends have done to their cars. In the "Hood" these are the kind of cars that are excepted. If you want to be noticed in these areas you have to do these kind of things to your cars. It's what's in the videos. It's also called "One Upping the Next Guy". It shows that I spent more than you did on yours. It's the same way with fashion and everything else. Back in the day I'm sure some of you guys had "Mullet" haircuts. Now we look back and see how funny that was. Every group through the years have done their own thing.

[chief455]

That's why they use subtitles on Street Outlaws: New Orleans.
To most viewers it sounds like a foreign language. Ghetto and deep south.

I have a few friends in Louisiana - I tell them talk slowly for the Yankee to understand ;)

[Turbov6Bryan]

Yeah but those guys are in D town TEXAS Doesn't sound like any Texan southern lingo to me:D

It's not a accent, it's ghetto speak

[daddyusmaximus]

Weird part is while I can't understand ghetto speak, I bet they could fully understand me. I'm sure they'd think I was a hick, but they would understand.

Key word "pronunciation". Although they are in a different location and social class than I am, (rural midwest) these guys have made up words and are using words to mean different things. Yes, they have an accent, but they are also speaking a completely different inner city dialect that is very hard for a country boy to understand... Hell, I kinda think it's funny and entertaining, but I know that they are just doing what they have learned.

In reality, I like the color, I like how the interior was done, color is different enough to like. Not liking the wheels, easy enough to change, would love to see the motor.

Commentary could be a LOT better, brag about your car, but leave all the street slang out of it.

Love the "ghetto" statement since it doesn't sound like everyone else. If you never been there "ghetto" you'd never understand. I grew up there.. ijs
