So this is what West Coast Customs looks like with No Drama....I like it!.
Extensive, Kindig, places like that are real Auto Builders. Personally I think West coast is Garbage. Mainly all Bolt on crap which in my opinion anyone can do. Extensive is my Favorite, The Show Texas Metal. But Kindig is by far the Cleanest work I've ever seen.
Really love the bolted on plastic look with the double wing that wobbles over slight bumps in the road!!🙌🏼 It just screams I’m a 8 year old with money to throw away🤌🏼🤌🏼
🤣🤣🤣
Right i noticed the wobble too.. wtf.. so tacky man
You forgot Lambo doors on Chevy
Had me on the first half 🤣
@@bikefax8177 Lambo doors are nice though, much easier to get out of the car in a parking lot.
You can tell by the look of the customer they just made one for each other. Money doesn’t always come with good taste 😮😮😮
Agreed. I own a C8. I've seen a lot of good custom work on these cars. Although West Coast does quality work, this car is...fugly.
The ugliest C8 i've ever seen. True!!!!! Money doesn’t always come with good taste!
100% agreed they destroyed the natural lines of this car, this is a terrible build!!!
Too much, the wheels 👎🏻 the spoiler 👎🏻, did that the mod includes purple LEDS underneath the car?
This video is all about how not to customize a Corvette. Looks horrible from every angle
West Coast Customs....pumpin' out those Pimp My Ride quality buckets with each new build. California USED to have the top builders, but now it has these hackers.
Kit Kars
Cali only hope for customs cars is RDB LA
@@RR1of1chip foose builds quality cars.. dont like huge wheels though.. but those can be changed
Texas Metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Overall looks good but the big fail for me is that the wide body kit looks just like that, a bolt on kit vs something that looks factory and actually blends to the body with no visible lines...I'm surprised that WCC would do this and put their name on it...
13:09 It didn't look finished at all... the body kit parts had a gloss while the oem parts had the wrap applied... SMDH
It's an aesthetic thing really, some people like it that way. I mean, you can be against it but it's not a quality fail really
Should have put street hunter kit on
Yeah the rear wheels were an inch or two too short in width to really fill the arches. The gloss looked cheap.
They basically rice'd the thing. Nothing here was in good taste. Waste of engineering talent.
Remember, guys, the shop went with what the guy wanted. Isn't that what the best businesses do for their custies? Make them happy at the custies pocket cost. His taste his money. This project will hold its value for a long time just for having the shop's famous signature alone and being featured on their show.
They aren't famous anymore But famous for cheesy custom
you are out of your fucking mind
I love the part where they show you the amazing sound of the custom exhaust. 😒
I love the part when they ruined the car and put terrible wheels on it.
Gotta agree with you there.. this looks tacky ASF… I’m not a big fan of the new corvette as it is. 💯😂
@@blantonator I love the part where the Forgiatto wheels on this cost more than you're entire yearly salary lolol.
@@blantonator im shocked they didnt put Boss audio stuff in it.
@@jakehopt it costs so much yet it still doesn’t look good
The work that this company does is a testament to Ryan's drive, vision and work ethic. Great job!
They are overpriced hacks
Nice...not sure about the dual wings though, think I would remove the original.
My biggest question on this custom build would have to be, Why did you leave the stock spoiler on the car and install another GT style spoiler in front of it? Also noticed a bit less care went into this build from the looks of it, this could have come out way better considering its coming from WCC.
bro and fitment is trash
It looks stupid
@coopaman shit looks ugly imo
I think it is a personal preference, it kinda ties in well with everything at the back.
@@dukenukem8493 he already said the wrap gonna be 2 different colors TBH this build is quite rice lol
Love the truck dually wheels. Sits well under the trex decking you had installed over the fenders. Makes a nice addition to the shopping cart handle you added to the trunk lid. I bet that wobble going over bumps really helps smooth things out for a nice ride. Oh, and them cupped tires probably add 5 horsepower and so much more traction. Good news, though. You can call your insurance and let them know it's totaled.
My sentiments exactly. This thing is ATROCIOUS
I have vertical door hinges on my C7GS and love them. Can still open and close like regular and lift vertically only if you want. I lift them at shows.
I was loving this, up until the double wing...to each their own I suppose
The frontend looks goofy, it's sitting up way too high.....other than tht they did a hell of a job
@@Forever.Remain.Nameless rims 21/22..
@@Forever.Remain.Nameless agree the front is disgusting like its missing something.. nothing went into making the front complete. The wing in the back wobbles and is hideous.. screams ricer boy Acura integra
Double wing was horrible. Lol
Same here” or had that thing been dropped A few inches” just sticks out and doesn’t flow with the car
I was never crazy about the bolt holes all around these kits. Looks unfinished. IMO, kids started doing this to save the cost of body work and it became a thing, but will always look like a bolt on kit.
I completely agree. That was the very first thing I noticed and did not like.
Car looks amazing the wing is the only down fall amazing work great build
another Pimp My Ride brought to you by West Coast Customs 😆
The widebody is okay, I think street hunters kit it's levels above this
that widebody is trash street hunters kit woulda been insane but they always gotta rice the cars with shit parts.
Agree Street Hunter is badass
I knew I wasn't the only one that thought that. I hate rivets.
West coast customs never fails to make anything (no matter hard to screw up)they touch gaudy and cheesy.still pimping rides right to spinning rims town
Forreal!! What is with these guys? Every build is so tacky. Their builds are like the Wish version of RDB LA.
It came out 🔥 and to each their own 💯👊🏻
Wow!! Wow!! Wow!! 😲😲😲 Insane Project!!! Best of the Best team!!👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Personally for me I would’ve flush mounted the exhaust not have the tips sticking out a few inches.
if flushed with the body it could heat up and burn the wing, the rear tail gate anything thats plastic gone
This car would have been worth more leaving it stock!
West Coast Custom you have a Amazing team. 😎👍👍
Man oh man, this thing is super clean and i love it.
Not sure who the kid is that did this build ,but for a beginner it looks fantastic . I love the fact that it would be very easy to it return to stock . Bolt on pieces has its advantage .
you must have missed the part where they had to cut part of wheel well fender , so returning it to factory is easy as you think.
@@bryanhill8141 Your right , and the longer I look at it the more I like it . A lot of work went into this project . Still not sure about the bolt on fender look .
RDB seems to do wide body kits cleaner. Car looks sick, great job
Rdb deals with high end cars and high end body kits. Wwc used cheap parts and over charge. Big difference
@@provident8732 well damn lol
Wow looks amazing ! the crew at WCC knocked it out . Mean !
You guys are artists no question
insane build I love it all the detials made with purpose! Client has a nice vision of the things !
great video very well put together. We needed a few more seconds of video of the finished car. Keep the videos coming.
They don't show it because it's shit
Phenomenal job!! 👏👏👏
Glad that they're back.👍
Excellent job West Coast Customs! The finished product to me reminds me of a street legal Corvette GT3.R which is awesome! This is what I'd have done to a C8 if I had one.
Might aswell buy a McLaren or Lambo for the price of that transition but for sure the coolest looking corvette out there!! also your guys video quality is insane keep it up!
I feel like a Corvette is more reliable than a McLaren haha
It should have at least came with a pizza......or one rib.
Love the "wobbly wing" guys! LOL!
I have my own aesthetic when it comes to custom car designs, and I recognize everyones taste is different, and maybe it was a cost issue; but I like the molded or sculpted wide body look, as opposed to the bolt-on. The Black Panther LC500 comes to mind. But I'm sure he got what he wanted.
Wow man the car or should I say Corvette looks sick. Unbelievable job..
I was just curious to see how you’d see the engine through the glass and heat shield that protects the top. Will his roof get ruined from engine heat?
Find out on the next episode of DragonBall Z!!!
Keep the content coming!
That is so much cooler than it was stock 🎉
Nice build as usual 👍 i would have like to have seen an engine shot with the roof down.
You cannot see the engine with the top down. The upper roof panels stack on top of each other over the engine.
Awesome video, keep them coming 💪 (ps: make them a bit longer if possible)
That rear bumper exhaust is awesome 😊
Super Creative Project and very Stylish Sports Car....!
RDBLA knows how to really do wide body kits!..... Without bolts!...... But still a nice build! 😎
A perfect example of an abundance of money over taste (on the customer's part. WCC are just doing what they're asked)
That window so you can see in the engine looks killer 🎯
I'm so glad to see something about West Coast been missing you since you went off of velocity.. BUT NOW , I can subscribed...
You guys do great work, no matter what anyone says!! As long as you guys and the actual customer is happy, that's all that matters
WCC still making cars tacky, although that is their clientele.
Great job!
Not surprised of the requests/results considering its for a C8 owner. The customers taste matches the car: Tacky and impractical
streethunter widebody is a much better kit with hidden hardware
You guys created a masterpiece!!!!
Like alwsys
Just like that amazing industry and craftsmen love it..
Great video, my favorite part was the saw-zall water jet cutting the engine window.
Not a fan of that front bumper.
No one asked you
Sitting to high
Ong
imagine doing all this, and then not getting a C8 Z06 instead
right.... if he got a zo6 he wouldnt need to get a wide body kit since its already wider.... no bolt on kit...aka fender flares
The vehicle looks amazing to me
Yes great one... i love it .. one and the customer experience was great
looks 1/2 finished mold the the body kit and paint to match the rest of the car
All the work an you couldn't give us a decent montage? 5 seconds then a shakey roller . The front lip looks like it has more clearance then my work truck but idk never got to see the bags go up an down because it was a horrible montage...
xD that clearance is trash fosho
4:44 I WOULD HAVE WANTED THIS STYLING. JUST STUNNING !
Gorgeous. Want one! ❤️ 😍
shitiest widebody kit ruins the whole build plus the wheels look way too big and skinny
What a waste of a hundred grand when you could have just bought a Lamborghini or McLaren. But hey, if he’s got the money then do what he wants.
Excellent execution of the customer's vision, especially like the back window. For the critics, taste is personal. Overall looks good. I would have asked for the fenders to be integrated but some people like the riveted look, and it likely costs less. Let's hear that exhaust! Quite often left out on videos like this and they play music instead. Anyway, excellent craftsmanship.
Love to see the trade in value on that thing
Looks beautiful
Love the butterfly doors, glass view in the engine and exhaust but I would never put a wide body on my corvette if I ever had one 💀
The dude looked the way I would imagine someone who has such a car looks like
Imprecionante))) lo que hacen., eso es Arte)))., 👍 mis respetos para ustedes los que hacen todo el trabajo 🔥🏎❤
❤💪👍👏
Nice! I see that they're still pimping rides!
Love it!!!
Those Wheels..oh my goodness gracious..!!!!!
Great job
Those rims are insane 👀
Looks great but I would’ve wrapped the wide body flares also 🔥
Looks 🔥
Hahahaha the two different wings look awesome lol
Wow! Killer vet!
Looks good 👍🏽
Man you guys remind me of "Texas Metal" and that's a complement!
Looks badass!
Well you must appreciate the craftsmanship that went into this creation. However, for me, I’ll have to file this under, “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.” I’m very curious how much this cost and how long it took. Cheers!
amazing build just would of loved to hear the exhaust system!!!!!!! that was a custom part of the build!!! but the car came out amazing
One thought that hit me - it's 100% true body kits never "just fit" and from that, it's all the more impressive body lines on production cars are as good as they are (for most vehicles at least). For the sheer scale in production difference compared to the normal variances...it's pretty impressive.
Cool bro didnt know you guys had a yt channel. Saw you on Netflix. Keep doing what you do bro its real fun to watch 💯
I would have maybe done a couple things differently, but overall I love the build. ❤❤
Nice job. I would only make a change in wing choice and opt out for Victor racing one.
Love your content.
Chingon Compas! Se mira bien perro el C8 👌🏽👍🏼👏🏼
Sick!!☆☆☆
Looks tuff 🔥🔥
So cool❤
the car turned out amazing
Bravo 👏 👏 👏
It's basically a cosmetic upgrade and WCC pulled it off. Nice job.
Great build and video but disappointed we didn't hear the finished product. I bet those pipes sound good.
Sweet
