Before

After

When X arrives on Shanda’s doorstep, she is all smiles. Finally the Mustang will be turned back into the stallion it was meant to be. After all, this was the type of ride featured in Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby” video. The Mustang is destined for great things, though when X first takes a look at it, he is repulsed. “Are those finger nails and raisins in the ashtray?” It’s true the interior of this ride leaves something to be desired, especially because Shanda seatbelts herself into the car by wrapping the broken belt around the back of the seat, and then tying it in front of her. Not sure if this complies with highway safety, but Shanda will soon have seatbelts and a whole lot more once the guys at West Coast Customs take on the job.

The boys at West Coast get right to work as soon as the Mustang arrives at the garage. Say goodbye to the dirty off-white color, and hello to raspberry red. And that’s not all… the guys mix a gold shimmer paint that matches the new gold rims. The inside isn’t too shabby either. Along with a touch-screen DVD player, the Mustang comes with a photo-booth in the front seat (one of Shanda’s favorite hobbies is photography). And don’t worry about getting those pictures developed, the car has a built in printer.

If you happen to be behind Shanda’s Mustang on the road, you’ll know it, because to match Shanda’s bubbly personality, the guys at West Coast had a good old time installing a bubble machine into the ride so bubbles shoot out of the back of the car. Shanda is ecstatic to see her new Mustang. She gives it a great, big hug and then it’s hugs for all of the boys at West Coast before this lucky lady takes off to pick up her girlfriends for a night on the town. Shanda has officially been pimped.

Pimp My Ride Show Summary Xzibit and the good people at West Coast Customs make people's cars go from dirt to pimped in this 30 minute show that airs weekly on MTV. Hosted by Xzibit and featuring Los Angeles-area aftermarket shop West Coast Customs, “MTV Pimp My Ride” selects young, automotively challenged Southern Californians and transforms their rust buckets into triumphs. For many young adults, getting the insurance or finance to fix up their cars can be difficult and taking out a car loan is often no an option. “It’s not just about the cars anymore,” Xzibit said, but also “the boost that these kids get in their self-esteem. You can see it in their faces.” Wheels, Grilles, Body Kits, Customer Paint, Rims, Tires, Car Audio, Car DVD Video and Computer Systems, and many more crazy additions are transplanted into a Pimped Rides every episode!
