From a doorless Lamborghini to the most badass Chevy Chevelle in the world, California tuner West Coast Customs has done some amazing work through the years.
The tuning firm that became popular during the MTV era thanks to Pimp My Ride and has modified just about every vehicle you can think of.
From classic Lambos to modern Bentleys and one-off kit cars – you name it.
And there’s one mod in particular that left a very important car brand – how can we put it nicely – displeased.

West Coast Customs was founded in Burbank, California, in the early 1990s and operated more or less under the radar for about a decade.
Everything changed in 2004, though, when the tuning company became famous overnight after starring in MTV’s Pimp My Ride.
The team worked on some pretty wild vehicles for Pimp My Ride. But the company also created some incredible cars for celebrities and customers outside the show.

One of its best creations was a Chevy Chevelle that even Dominic Toretto would love.
It was all tricked out, with all black everything, including the front grille and wheels.
The California company also modified supercars, including an orange ‘Deconstructed’ Lamborghini Urus with exhaust tips that are longer than an elephant’s trunk.

West Coast Customs also regularly works with celebrities.
Justin Bieber’s incredible one-off Rolls-Royce, for example, was a West Coast Customs creation, as was his Ferrari 458 Italia painted in a shade of blue that Ferrari didn’t exactly love.
Mostly because Ferrari – it’s a well-known fact at this point – doesn’t like tuners messing with its cars.
And the situation got worse when Justin Bieber reportedly forgot where he’d parked his supercar.
The story was reported by several media outlets and never confirmed or denied by the man himself.
But, either way, it didn’t sit too well with Ferrari.
