"Off to the WestCoast..."

...As they say in pimp my ride. Well I'm leaving for a week on business and as luck would have it I've become pretty close with one of the main guys at West Coast Customs. Long story short, I work for a shoe company called etnies www.etnies.com and we are working on doing a custom shoe with them. We started talking car stuff and he said he'd hook me up. Well now he's sending a truck down tomorrow to pick up my car and he's going to work on it while I'm gone on my trip. Plans include alarm upgrade (adding features to my current alarm) head rest monitors, suede headliner, he mentioned sway bars (custom from Eibach) and some exhaust work as well (possibly headers, he just made custom headers for a friend of mine at work for his Magnum) We'll see what happens when I return from my trip....wish the Max luck!!

suede headliner
I hate you that's the one and only mod I wanted since day one. First Corey sponsors you.... now this. Yeah I'm "Sippin' on some Haterade"

Now can you atleast get some specs for us (well atleast the measurements for the headliner for me and source for material) maybe info about the headers???

check your pm please

edit:
Hey, maybe we'll see a Sexy Silver Sixth in the PMP background

Thanks guys, I'll definitely post up when I get back (you all know I will) Yeah as far as specs I'll see what I can get out of him. As for the headers, it took them like 6-8 weeks to get them right for my friends Magnum so who knows what will happen...
I'm kind of worried (my baby in someone else's hands) and excited (obviously they do good work) about my car...we'll see in a week!

Yeah, if you can get the specs for headers, someone may be able to mass produce them. Is your friend going to "customize" your paint too?

No paint, I told him I want the outside to remain the same. I like the clean silver look of my car how it is....

OK hooked up as in free, yes. (can't beleive it myself) As for whacky pimp my ride crap, he knows what I'm into and they've gotten a bit of a bad rep away from the show because they've done so much weird stuff.
Like I said we'll see what happens, my car is still at home and hasn't been picked up yet...yet.
Nismo, I'm in Australia until next Tuesday. Was going to try to hook up with blackpaladin67 but I don't think I'll have time...

And a shoe polish machine in the front passenger side... and take out the arm-rest and put in one of those always-useful fishtanks lined with alcantara.

Pass that haterade this way, please.

Nope, didn't get the chance, If I had known more about where I was staying etc...I would have realized that I spent a night in his home town! I was on a pretty tight schedule for sure, I'm going back next year and plan to have more "leisure" time if you know what I mean...

That's right, that place changed quite a bit, new owners, Justin left. I guess some rich kids bought and are too cool for school...
We'll hook up for sure, are you thinking about going to the meet in LA on he 21st? I might be going...
