Will Castro is hooking up Tony Stewarts Caddy Hearse!! Looks interesting. I always loved Wills customizations. Check it out CL.

This looks new to me but I've never seen previous seaons anyhow.  But Livan Hernandez is talking about Spring Training and his RR Supercharge and F430.

I was watching it, and honestly, the show annoyed me.
They put some decals and pinstripes on a Yukon or something, made a plywood sub/amp box with a plexiglass window, stuck it in the trunk then installed a new head unit and 7" TV screen and called it a day.
It was like watching a reality TV show on Tweeter or Circuit City.
Oh, they also showed off installing a set of rims, and how their tint guy couldn't even mount a single wheel on a car.
Quality Stuff.

The dude screams at me like that (Castro) I am sticking the ENTIRE CAR up his ass. He has no respect.
The owners of these cars=lol
Some of the mods=lol
I mean, its the same cars, same systems, same rims every week.
In talking to a friend, companies are paying to have thier items put on their cars on the show for the publicity.

Yeah Castro is a funny dude. I love him. He puts in mad work  Then barks at his employees, like they are his foster kids. His mods tho are pretty "safe". He says it's because he wants to keep it classy, nothing over the top.

It seems he makes a good living off of minor modifications. More power to him. I agree, i think his mods consist of rims, head units and sub boxes. Sometimes body kits and lambo door conversions.

The show is OK.........they do very basic mods like putting on some crap chrome wheels and upgrading the radio/tvs. Never seen them upgrade susp., brakes, engine, etc.
IMO Overhaulin is a much better show, where cars are modded the right way.

Anyone know their theme song? It's the same song they played on the really loud red H2.

Watching this show I havent seen them do anything amazing. And watching some of their episodes it looks like some of the work is marginal at best. I wouldnt get any work done on my car there

If you know anything about cars it will quickly hit you that these guys are hacks. I watched the segment last night when they were putting the wheels on Tony Stewart's Lamboghini. They were using an air impact wrench  !!! Even a down to Earth Les Schwab tire store will use a torque wrench to install wheels.

WEST COAST CUSTOMS>Unique Autosports
Say what you will about PIMP MY RIDE ...they did the show just to make it fun ....but they have by far better customization skills ..not just putting tint on the car and slapping some fugly a$$ wheels on the car..and then spray painting some ones dash board  did you guys see that...lol
thats why foose uses them ....do you think he'll use UA.....
