I havent seen that show yet. I watch shows like Rides, American Hot Rod and American Chopper. They do some nice stuff on those shows.

i havent seen this show....do the owners choose what they want, or is it like the show tuner transformation on speed channel? (three douchebags messing with your ride, without your say) id be a little wary to let some one other than me modify my car, but im a little strict when it comes to my baby....

Nah the guys that work on these cars work on nice cars and do good work. They were the ones that someone had put new rims on an enzo.

They don't do rice though, except for this civic. Some of the cars are so broke down. I wonder why West Coast Customs would even bother, Xzibit must have some deal with them.

I hope I dont regret dloading 170mb lol

BTW for those who dont know about bit torrent, it seems that this new P2P program can dload them...

its called Shareaza. I tried it out, and it dloaded faster than kazaa. It connects to emule too and searches for bitttorrent links too. I haven't used it for too long, but as far as I can see, its great.

It is better than tuner transformations et al....

MTV is taking sh!t cars, and hooking them up. I'm talking 15 -20 grand worth of stuff. Including tv's, dvd players etc...
I don't believe they do any engine modification.

They take the cars down to West Coast Customs (in southern cali I believe). These dudes are really good, like someone said before...they put the rims on the enzo. They also work on most celebrity cars.

The people who own the cars don't choose what they want. It is mostly a surprise.

lol good point. Yeah the civic wasn't that bad besides the color combo and the racing stripes. But still, i mean it was a real PIECE before so...anything is an improvment; especially when one drops $20k into it. Who pays for all the modified rides? Xzibit?

I'd assume MTV puts up the cash.

Another show on MTV that I've been watching "I want a famous face"
People spend their own money (maybe 10 grand) to get plastic surgery to look like celebrities....these twins got nosejobs, porcelain veneers, jaw work done...so they could look like brad pitt and try to enhance their "acting careers" .....I will admit, they looked a lot better.

This one chick is a britney spears impersonator, and she went in for a boob job. The weird thing is, she lives in Orlando (where I stay), and they had footage of her leaving the starbucks that I go to several days a week...as well as the mall I'm at every single day! I can't believe I missed the taping!
