The Man Behind the 'Final Score' Lowrider | Chris Roark
Published on November 13, 2024
The Story of the Perfect Score
Chris Roark is known for producing a number of award-winning lowrider vehicles, many benefitting from numerous unique parts designed and machined by Roark himself. His “Final Score” has racked up titles that include Lowrider’s Lowrider of the Year from 2015-2017, Best Custom at both the Grand National Roadster Show and the Sacramento Autorama, and Best in Show at the Rick Ross Car Show.
Built in Roark’s shop, C&C Customs in Vacaville, California, “Final Score” presents many hallmarks of a quintessential modern lowrider car: the extremely lowered stance; vibrant candy and metal-flake paint with graphics and pinstriping; airbrushed murals; a custom interior; intricate engraving; wire wheels; a decorated engine and undercarriage; and countless other remarkable details throughout. Additional modifications include a one-off grille, a single-piece front bumper with a “frenched-in” (recessed) license plate, and shaved door handles and cowl. The car’s creation over four years is even more impressive considering the Impala was in shambles when the work began, having sat in Roark’s garage for 20 years.
