The diagram at the left describes the organization of the program for the lowrider institute. It diagrams the communal tree which depicts the occupany of the spaces. The red circle are for the Central American students from the neighborhood who are the primary occupants of the institute. The dark-gray circles are for other institute affiliates and people from the downtown area. The light-gray are for the Korean American immgrants from Koreantown who visit the auto museum inside the institute.

The images at the right describe different aspects of lowrider autos. The top image describes the incredible painted designs on the shell of the cars. The middle image shows an image of the interior of a lowrider with customized sound systems and seat covers. The bottom image depicts the hydraulic systems of lowriders and how they allow the cars to tilt in different ways.
