MTV Can Go Pimp Themselves!

West Coast Customs is done Simple Green’ing engines on MTV. Ryan Friedlinghause, owner of WCC, complains that they aren’t being taken serious or getting any new customers. I don’t think it has anything to with the fact they’ve whored themselves out for teenie boppers for two years.

Wow! A 1986 Ford Taurus rollin’ on bling’d out 16’s, painted some piss colored metalic gold with 13 plasma screens in the trunk, a 100 pound stainless steel spoiler on the trunk lid and a scoop on the roof. Then rip out the back seats to install a 200 gallon aquarium just because the 16 year old owner who hasn’t even thought about college, let alone a major, likes turtles.

Plus all that, all the other shows seem to do twice as much work in half the time. The 30 minute ‘Pimp My Ride’ show allows 2 weeks to complete the car. Most of the other 1 hour shows do all the work in 7 days.

I saw the WCC crew make a guest apperance on Overhaulin’ the night. They helped Foose out with a ‘68 Firedbird. When I say helped, I mean, they painted the car for Foose. One color, with a “Foose Fade”, which is a tone or two darker shade along the base of the car.

WCC is supposed to be getting there own Discovery show soon. “American Pimpers”?
