Any car geek is well-informed about all the markets that come under the automobile canopy. Whether we are passionately following the four-wheel world or are occasionally smitten by old classics and new generation models here and there, the customization of business with its extraordinary work never fails to catch the attention.
And in this niche, West Coast Customs is renowned among a large audience where its reality TV show Inside West Coast Customs kept viewers entertained while many people flock their cars in Ryan Friedlinghaus' popular garage. The company even tapped into spotlight stirring controversies like notorious work management.
However, it's undeniable the customization elite churns out stunning mods. From bagging down everyday cars to giving ravishing paint jobs, several of their customizations leaves us salivating, which explains why West Coast Customs boasts a high profile clientele. From WCC's famed lot, we've stacked some of their sickest customizations in this selection.
Although it's risky to fashion an old model, especially a classic, many custom shops don't shy away from these mods while gearheads mold some of these iconic wheels into gorgeous models at home. WCC's work on this 1967 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback with a new 6.1 liter Hemi engine and Asanti rims is one example.
West Coast Customs' is no ordinary custom business that is popular around the block. It has a massive outreach but keeps its clientele reserved for affluent customers, particularly celebrities. One of its famous clients includes Kylie Jenner's Ferrari 488 Spider rocking Lexani LZ-105 wheels with a dark window tint that tastefully completes the look.
The custom shop has come a long way from mundane paint jobs. West Coast Customs has climbed into the elite game where it vigorously participates in multiple events. Out of the ten models WCC displayed at the 2017 SEMA Show, their modernized Porsche 356 planted on the Cayman's wider chassis.

Another one of WCC ten models exhibited at the 2017 SEMA Show was BMW's i8 hybrid model. The electrically charged luxury coupe stores twin electric motors and a three-cylinder turbo-diesel engine under its hood. West Coast Customs purple paint job compliments the engine's power, which propels i8 to 155 mph of top speed.
While West Coast Customs has rolled out some questionable pieces from its garage, many surprisingly pull off outlandish customizations. One of them is rapper Travis Scott's Lamborghini decked in chocolate brown shade. Where many customizations opt for mature shades, WCC perfectly fits in the funky brown shade.
West Coast Customs' exemplary work continues to dominate many car exhibit shows. The custom shop's 2018 Kia Stinger GT appeared once again at the 2018 Chicago Auto Show after it was first unveiled at the SEMA Show. The fastback jacks a widebody kit that includes 21-inch Keen Custom Wheels, front splitter, etc.
West Coast Customs collaborated with broadcasting giant SiriusXM on Toyota Sienna and converted a family-friendly wagon into a DJ ride, all packed with an amplified entertainment system. The custom Toyota Sienna features a DJ booth inside and a 360-degree A/V column fixed on the roof outside that has two 40-inch LCD monitors and 16 speakers.

From Sylvester Stallone's modified 1955 Ford pickup featuring in blockbuster movie 'Expendables,' it is apparent that West Coast Custom's work has made a mark in the pop culture phenomenon. West Coast Customs worked heavy modification in the pickup, which included a new Ford 417 CID Edelbrock engine, which produces an enormous 429 horsepower.
Contrary to many who object to the West Coast Custom's preferences for the Tron inspired Audi R8, the custom company has not completely ruined the model. Keeping the engineering intact under the hood, WCC went all out on bright chrome work with glowing rims, glowing vents, and a glowing back seat.
Fulfilling Black Eye Peas' frontman Will.I. Am's envision of a 1958 Chevy Corvette. West Coast Customs renewed the classic model with a dreamy, cinematic blend of bright red and white shades. The custom work borrows '59 Corvette C1 body, 2008 Corvette's interior, and fits in handmade "white wall" rims from Colorado Customs.
To honor of their song "Red Camaro," Rascal Flatt, approached the well-reputed customization brand for their tribute project. They teamed up with West Coast Customs to create a custom red Camaro. The modified Camaro also features 22-inch HRE wheels wrapped in Continental tires and three exhaust tips representing the trio band.

Justin Bieber has joined West Coast Customs' list of loyal celebrity clients that includes Shaq and Will.I.am. Ryan Friedlinghaus styles the singer's Ferrari 458 Liberty Walk with custom ContiForceContact tires from Continental Tires and covers the body in a unique electric blue wrap. The supercar has a 4.5-liter V8 engine that lashes out 570 horsepower.
West Coast Customs' CEO, Ryan Friedlinghaus, attributes the company's fame to his longtime friendship with Shaquille O'Neal and has crafted many customizations works for the celebrity athlete. For remodeling his Slingshot, Shaq trusts West Coast Customs for stretching out the tiny two-seater frame. The result is a radiant burgundy painted 'SlingShaq.'
Kid Rock goes old-school but not without any sleek additions to the classic 1975 Cadillac Limousine. The model originally came with a V8 engine rated at 210 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. West Coast Customs gave a makeover to the Caddy with Deep Black paint job and black velour seats with gold stitching.
While the famous car custom company boasts a wide range of work that spans from trucks to vintage drives, the founder and CEO, Ryan Friedlinghaus, drives his own brand's customized Rolls-Royce Ghost. Although the British luxury car leaves little room for upgrades, Friedlinghaus seamlessly refurbishes the car with chrome wrap and chrome custom rims.
