When “regular people” think of custom cars, they think of West Coast Customs, thanks mainly to MTV’s early 2000s hit show, “Pimp My Ride.” Each week, West Coast Customs transformed beaters into cartoonish reflections of their owners’ personalities, brimming with wacky mods. Nearly 20 years later, West Coast Customs is still on TV, they’ve expanded around the globe, and they have their own roller coaster! How has a shop famous for installing monitors on every flat surface available remained relevant for so long? How did they get there in the first place? And why do so many celebrities turn to them for custom work? Join James Pumphrey for the lowdown on the world’s most famous auto shop, West Coast Customs.
Props to Guilherme Lopes (@_glopes on the gram) for the dope editing.

Day 2 of supporting this
So many episodes ended with me thinking, "I'd be so pissed if they stuck a fishtank in my console."
There are videos on here of former guests on the show and they said it was all staged. MTV would rent a house to film the fake introduction part with Xzibit and the cars were decorated to look worse than they were and the producers would decide what theme the car was going to decorated. There was a pimped out van with a jewelery maker startion installed which was sold after the show and bought by popular RUclipsr Tavarish who fixed it up and gave it to his friend Hoovie as a joke.
Lol, apparently just tapping on the glass of a tank is bothersome to the fish. Just imagine being trapped, swimming in limited space between two gigantic subwoofers.
i remember one where they put a smoothie bar in the trunk with a blender and stuff i was like wtf id be super pissed too
@@MattePurple1 They would don soms bling and begin rapping.
@@46god why do you hate smoothies so much?
Can we get a Donut Documentary about Pinks?
I remember how excited me and my twin brother would get when pimp my ride would come on, we were in middle school in the early 2000’s and the cars were always goofy but the show still had a huge impact on us becoming obsessed with cars and it’s just unforgettable!
"In the early 2000s"
Or as I like to call em, "The 90s: Part 2"
Omg, too true 😂
Umm…no

These type of videos the way you guys do your videos as a whole across your platform even with the other channels I just appreciate you guys and how you guys do things thank you as always giving the real biz

Is there really a difference?
@@DapperHesher I think so
"Yo Mad Mike, how many monitors you put in this thing?"
MM - "Man you're not gonna believe it. We were able to install One Hundred and Forty-two monitors in there!"
This is how I remember Pimp My Ride.
It was beyond ridiculous sometimes.
He even put one under the car, so you could watch it if you had to change your tire. 🙄
I remember a follow up, and one guy had trashed his and was asking for a "refresh".
I always thought the show was fun, and having a clue about cars knew most of the mods wouldn't last, and probably fall out after going over a few speed bumps too fast.
Except the one where some young guy wanted the car restored for his mother, and the car was sooo bad, basically two halves welded together, they sourced a new car for them and modded that.
Some ugly cube Toyota or Nissan, but still pretty good.
Lmao!!!! Oh man this made my day
"Were gonna put a 32 inch monitor in your trunk". I mean Why? lol
These old eps are so good, going back and rewatching them. 🤙🤙
This is the first of your videos that I've watched.. subscribed! Man that took me back. Also, you made me laugh out loud a handful of times 😁👍
“Terrible fries at in-n-out”
Oh shit! Shots fired.
Is he wrong. In n out is way over-rated
Before Tax it’s over rated but it’s not bad
In-N-Out really is overrated tho. They over-fry their fries, which turns into hollow chips. And then the burgers are so skinny, there’s more sauce and bun than the burger itself
Burgers are great. Fries are small and too dry
Try fry light
"putting low res TV screens on any flat surface they could find" haha the script on this one was fire
hahahahahahha
It’s funny having cars with in dash DVD players or rear-seat entertainment systems and paling in comparison to our phones.
When they started branding with Best Buy, my son, a BB auto tech, got to be in one of their episodes and go to Michigan for a NASCAR race. Carl Edwards drove the WCC/ BB Ford. He had a blast for a couple of weeks.
This guy James is so funny. I love his story telling, the way he points out something being crazy. Also really cool to listen about pimp my ride, I remember coming to class and being like yoo they got a bubble machine for their muffler, and laughing with all my friends.
Great job James, really entertaining and good content. Thorough also
He’s annoying. Good content though. Tries too hard to be funny and he just isn’t.
He's annoying as hell
Telling a girl she has just been pimped doesnt seem like a car thing.
yea in todays sjw world everything has a sinister meaning
That shit would not air or be on a script in 2021
All these snowflakes now a days..
Looking too deep into it.
Imagine as a kid, not knowing what that meant. You go up to your mum or the kids at school telling them that they've been pimped 😂😂
"Back then we had Power Block and Pimp My Ride"
>Top Gear as we know it started in 2002
Yeah, but the only way I was seeing those in the US was by downloading it "illegally" with files and torrents from Finalgear.com. Which I may have done (depending on the statue of limitations). But a dude on the internet in the UK said it was technically public broadcasting so he was cool if we "watched it with him".
Top Gear actually started in 1977...
Most people had access to MTV, not everyone had access to BBC programming. Man those early seasons of top gear were hilarious though.
@@50shadesofgday64 erm... we had access to BBC and MTV ;P
@@insomniacbritgaming1632
As we know it. Jeremy, Richard and... Well, James wasn't around until series 2.
This was a real treat!! Thanks
When the show ran, it was an insane hit. Everyone liked it! But it only took a few years before it got cringy, and we watched it just for the laughs.
I'm so glad Ryan got out of MTV's clutches, and could run the shop like it was meant to from the very beginning.

@19:33 the Ford Escort to BMW M3 conversion was fire back in the day🎉
5:48 up until like a year ago I still owned a car that had one of those removable face plates 😂 and yes I would still remove it every time I left the car lol
I’ve never laughed so hard about the removable faceplate radios. “Ask your parents it’s something we used to do” lmfao
Bought a $75 Pioneer Bluetooth / CD w removable face a couple of years ago... never took the face off.... Who still takes the face off a $75 stereo?? Naturally, someone stole it. Now it's $119.00 on Amazon....
My dad had one in his Acura Legend and every night he would take the face off and lock it up in the glove compartment lol the car got broken into one night too🤣 they didn’t take the stereo at least
I had an Alpine unit where the entire deck pulled out of a sleeve.
They were better than the pull out models
I had several older Alpine head units, including a CDA-7949 that I bought used for $400 (street price was about $800 new, I believe, this was back in 2000 when ebay had actual bargains). I took that sucker off every time I went somewhere (they had cases to store the faceplates in which was important to keep them scratch-free).
The funny thing was that removing the faceplate didn't stop thieves from stealing the head unit. In fact, back then only pricey head units had removable faceplates, so thieves would actually target them. They'd steal the unit without the face, figure out what model it was, and then contact the manufacturer to get a replacement face. This eventually turned into a whole thing where head units had unique codes and yadda yadda yadda... does anyone even bother to steal head units anymore?
LMAO the pink floyd time sound thrown in when you said time towards the end was great
13:43 the irony of "Chill"🤣
To be fair, pimp my ride made me realize that regular cars could be interesting, not Just lambos and ferraris
agreed
Totally agree.
Imagine not knowing about Maserati or Koenigsegg or any other brand of cars. Lmao.
@@theenzoferrari458 the horror 🤣
I'm convinced that most of car guys (and gals) in their 20's and 30's right now, were mostly influenced by these guys. I'm 26 and Pimp My Ride was the first time I saw car customization to even be a thing.
So you’re telling me Zack Jobe Isn’t working on the Money Pit Miata in his own driveway?
It's a green screen 😃
@@andramsz clever. I bet they save a lot of money instead of renting a house with a garage
Um mm....he isn't working on a Miata now though.
@@damilolaakanni that BMW is actually the Miata, but it's green screened in
@@kennykunie6660 exactly
This was a great video by Donut. PMR was the best show around back in the day and the reruns carried us through high school and college
Pimp my ride was my introduction to car customizations when I was a kid.
James: “you watched me do an ad read in this episode.”
Me: “Actually…. I skipped the fuck out of your ad read.”
They even have little ad timers, bless them
I normally skip purely for the fact that I'm in the UK and most of the ads are for American products/services.
Every. TIME!
I skip cause my view doesn’t help. I have premium
😂 100%. Everyone hates ads!
"...and on March 4th, 2004, the whole world was officially pimped."
I felt that.

That was and will always be my favorite car show.
I use to live down the street from West Coast Customs when they were in Inglewood. Drove past a lot and saw some of the cars sitting outside on the curb.
Was driving one day and saw that red Corolla with the TVs in the 4 corners of the bumper...I asked him while waiting at a red light and he said that they took the TVs out and purposely took the hood off before the makeover to make it seem like it was that jacked up. Lol.
There was a Semi Truck version called Trick My Truck on CMT. From what I understand, they were actually doing things that make the living condition of a trucker better. Not just insane additions.
That sounds wicked! They actually would benefit from these things not a admin assistant lol
@@imajellybean4709 exactly! Like getting them comfier beds, a nicer place to sleep and everything
Yeah, that was my show back in the day !
It was all staged..and it was almost as tacky as pimp my ride , just truck version.
That show was dope!
West Coast Customs was bittersweet for me, some of their builds were ok-ish and some were disgusting. For me it’s the nostalgia going for it.
Me too but now that I look back... I did pretty much watch every episode there was to watch so I guess they played some part in getting me into cars. And I'm glad they did!
Here in Brazil we have a version of this show, but people have to do some crazy stuff to “earn” the car, like old people having to dance or do some circus stuff or children having to sing in front of a big audience after 2 or 3 classes
James vibe is so cool I like everyone on the show but he’s actually hilarious😂
I liked how every car owner was so wholesome and kindhearted. "Ian likes to take the senior citizens of his neighborhood shopping for food and household supplies, so we installed a bedpan in the passenger seat and a wheelchair ramp in his 1997 Ford Probe." Man, that Ian is such a nice guy.
🤣 kinda like every top 25 americas got talent or the voic star has some crazy amazing, “my daddy died at 2 and mamma was off to the races hustling at the local Howard Johnson. I basically was raised by grandma and she taught me to be a world class musician unfortunately she kicked the bucket last week but people said she wanted me to be here and skip her funeral “that’s happening at this very second!” So here I am :)
I think one underappreciated aspect of Pimp My Ride was that there was no fake drama. Every other car/motorcycle/whatever build show would have tempers flaring up left and right, deadlines looming ominously over everything, and just an all around negative vibe.
I realized We’re conditioned to be entertained by toxicity after reading this.
@@Creator_Veeto_PAEACP real
Very true! Interesting at the least!
Those shows are basically soap operas set in a custom shop. Hollywood producers often only seem to understand drama. If you like cars, you study and learn to build cars. If you like drama, you study and learn to make movies and TV shows. So most specialized activity becomes a setting for drama, not a study of that activity. It's why I often hate movies about things I like, they rarely have better than a superficial appreciation of the thing that's supposed to be the draw for me.
@@Creator_Veeto_PAEACP I kind of understood that before but, man, never with that clarity.
Powerblock.....maaaan, that used to be great to watch. I also grew up watching Motorweek. I don't know if or when the west coast got to watch that show, but I'm in NJ so they're legit 90 minutes away. RIP Pat Goss

"What can the best mechanic in LS do for you?" I'll tell you when he gets here.
We also had Overhaulin’, American Chopper, Monster Garage, and American Hotrod. Chip Foose was well known in the car industry and for restoration of American classics. OCC Choppers known for custom bikes. Monster Garage for making crazy builds with Jesse James.
All of these shows were running during the same years as Pimp my Ride.
The first, I think, was American Hotrod with Boyd Coddington (edit: See you named it in your list now). Then every other channel copies that and the original channel also has spin offs. Same with shows seeking gold, can already name like 4 or 4, same with commercial fishing shows, pawn stores and several other topics. Then again, some are fun. Gold Rush White Water is kind of fun to see too.
Oh, how could I forget people going to buy up antiques or personal stuff being sold by someone not paying the rent for storage
watched a good deal of those. Good times, saw a lot of teens and younger get into vehicles because of them.
on a nite, let's not pretend that American Chopper (OCC) was about the bikes after a few seasons.. we all tuned in to see the fucked up family dynamics of big dumb and Paulie.
In europe we also had Top Gear Uk… basically grew up watching that shit lol
Foose cane to regret Overhaulin. He was trying to sell one of his top builds at auction, and nobody eould bud. He announced "This is not an Overhaulin car, It's a top build". No one trusted it.
I saw them putting In a patch panel with sand falling out.
A lot of work into this video awesome stuff

I love how they went full circle from starting out in a residential area for retired dentists to ending up in a residential area for retired dentists
There was also a huge overlap in the show I watched first, with Boyd Coddington before he died called American Hotrod. Some mechanics, think one named Rich (but maybe he also went to a pawn show store to work) you later saw in either or both. I think that Dwayne guy who was a piece of shit, bald and 2nd man with Boyd. I mean, production companies can't edit so many terrible things about him when they didn';t film it first so it's not like they just showed him to be bad. Anyway, you saw them in Pimp my Ride and CHip Foose his show which aired back then as well. Chip Foose worked for Boyd Coddington I believe, at least they had a big rivalry.
My comment is pretty messed up but am far from sober, and dont'want to put it in the correct order :) Hope it's clear enough. I'm not even a hot rod fan (as European I guess, not so popular here) but I do like craftmanship and those results. I also remember that bit of a slow guy being fired and then show up in another car overhaul show, Mike I think his name was. Often wearing a red cap. He messed up several times, but his work was pretty good!
Well done. I enjoyed it
I always love these videos but the fact that you referenced both Kazam (fake movie with Sinbad?) And the episode of it's always sunny where Charlie thinks the mailroom is a conspiracy...chefs kiss guys, chefs kiss
No one is born a car genius. Everybody has to acquire that knowledge from somewhere. Those who did that from this show, especially as kids, will have a nostalgic element associated with it. And it was really cool at that time.
Yeah I remember watching them build cars and I think they are really what got me into cars back when I watched it on Netflix. Fast and furious also had a big role obviously but west coast customs was the shi
I remember watching this show a couple times as a young car enthusiast and pretty much instantly realized it was a bunch of cheap s*** with huge branding (donated by the advertisers as a write-off), then put together poorly in a $1500 car that would be better off in a scrapyard--- so if the project was an utter failure and the car burned to the ground, the show had a whopping $1,501 to lose. And then cue tons of unnecessary man-drama and a fake unachievable deadline.. Pure shit.
As someone that actually took the time to learn the skills of the trade, the show disgusted me. I abhor the vast majority of what comes out of Hollywood, and this show was made entirely of that. They took a decent shop and techs with proper skills, and cheapened the craft into harlequins.
@@Matt93se yeah but as a 9 year old just getting into cars it didn’t really matter
If you learned about cars from Pimp My Ride you should wear a sticker that says that so I don't have you work on my cars.

Do a Up To Speed on Chip Foose and Overhaulin’

Ah yes, Chip foose. The Gary Busey of the automotive world.
chip seems the litigation type...as well as Boyd Codrington. I'd rather see both of them be smacked around and placed in an industrial dryer...
@@asleep909 Tbh being in an industrial dryer sounds like a fun time
I remember back in the day when Overhaulin was on it was slowly coming out those cars were never finished. I remember the Nova with the cherries on it or something i think the owner sued them or something because the car was never finished the paint was terrible also i think it broke down from the get go.
@@gearjammergamer8560 Yeah I had heard rumors that there was a few episodes where they did the body, but the motor was never even hooked up during the "reveal." They did "awesome work" if you want to believe it was actually them doing it. On another note, Orange County Choppers was another show everybody loved. Just watched a video the other day how one of their $80,000 bikes are now worth $3,000-$8,000.
I called them "Cake Decorators" because they never truly made a "badass" bike. They added decorations to them to make them look cool, but the motors were small, tires too big, no suspension, everything for a recipe for a bike you won't love to ride, but looks cool. 🤨

I've never liked ads but this one is gold I rewatched it like 4 times 🤣🤣🤣
The editing and the pop culture references in these videos are just awesome.
Wasn't there also a thing on Pimp My Ride where they would just straight up replace the car with a different one that was in better condition and then pimp that? Sometimes it wasn't even the exact same make or model?
I remember this kid with a Ford welded together from two different Ford Escort(?) and they gave him a brand new minivan afair.
That did happen but it was because the vehicle was in such bad condition it was non-repairable. The vehicle had severe structural issues.
I remember at least one episode like that. Believe the guy ended up with a pimped Scion XB.
I remember one episode they let the guy keep his cause he was going to school to be a mechanic. They thought it be a good project car so the show gave him a different car & pimped it out.
I definitely remember them swapping the cars out

Look up Sema 2013 Inside West Coast Customs. After SEMA, they finished it up at their shop in California and shipped it to me in Arizona. Chrysler did a delivery video.

18:57 Thank you to whoever thought of putting in a snippet of Pink Floyd's song for that time joke.
i was looking for this, thank you
This video rocked!
Anyone remember the show trick my truck? "With a few simple tools, you can raise your F250 8 inches replace the rear differential, swap out the axles and add front and rear lockers!"
I had a gravel driveway and a jack from a 78 T-bird. My truck was not tricked.
"So you wanna be a playya, but your wheels ain't fly"...
Come on down, and get a pimped out ride
As soon as we say "cut", they go bye bye...
"Hold on a fuckin second, its all a lie?!"
That belongs on fitment industry,so you want
Paying employees less than minimum is inexcusable, especially considering Ryan (the owner) is racking in millions. There is no way I would reward a business like that with my business. Not that I’m rolling in cash but anyone that is should go somewhere else (to someone that does quality work, while also paying their workers a good salary).
Wage thieves are the lowest scum.
I wouldn’t let Feildinghause touch my car with James’s or Nolan’s pole.
Wage theft in the US is more money per year than all other theft combined, $15 billion, excluding police asset seizure which I believe is the second highest coming in around $3ish billion. In 2014 the police seized more property than was actually reported stolen.
It's insanely expensive to run a custom shop in California.
to build on what your saying; if i found out that the troopers working on my car were not getting paid right, i would really be worried that they wont do a good job because the incentive isnt there, and i dont blame them. minimum wage means minimum effort. Also if an owner steals from their employees they are probably jacking up the prices beyond whats reasonable. Its just bad news all round. Besides, getting a $100k car is always gonna turn heads. You dont need to be an idiot and ride in something that really just looks weird and different. I saw west coast do a Rolls-Royce for Justin Bieber, and it looks horrible. From the work ive seen there, bad wages or not, its just not worth it.
They actually had a shop right next to my house for years over here in riverside. Youd always see their cars going for the drive down the street for footage with the celebrities lol
Just saw the Key and Peele episode you were on.. lmao. Your lines bro....
In the 80s, we only had Motorweek on Sundays.
I’d like to see him cover Motorweek
And Inside Goop
And it was infinitely better than pimp my ride. Loved the 0-60 and 1/4 mile segment
Motor week came on on Saturday's in the 90's
I love Motorweek the host is amazing
This entire episode is almost like a reminder to early 90s kids that they old now
Yeah dude indeed
I'm too old realize that's supposed to make me feel old. Also I never watched Pimp My Ride or any of the other shows.
Edit: too
Thats right my friends O_o
@Arse Licker I don't like you
@Arse Licker *interesting*
Ohh yes! I remember in 2006 recording Pimp my ride episodes on VHS, then having a big debate with classmates about, which car of the show was the best one!
Pop up up n down headlights genuinely is the highlight every time it appears lol. Release it
“Takes time” *time from Plink Floyd plays* that’s too good
I caught that also. 😝
