Thanks to CarParts.com and GPD for supporting today’s video clip!

Almost 2 decades later, West Coast Customs continues to be on TV, they have expanded around the world, 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.
