This is the one that pissed me off the most, took a perfectly fine brand new 4Runner and just ruined.

well it was an 05 Limited, new they are going from around 38-45 depending where you live.
But since they totally screwed the interior up, and the paint looks like crap. Nobody who wants a 4Runner is going to buy it. It would cost too much to make it nice and luxury again.
So some kid might buy it, but I doubt they'll pay over 20k for it. I could sell my 04 and I bet I could get 30k
I like how he says the air pressure system isn't working. I bet those clowns when they put those wheels on, didn't reuse the valve stems that have the sensors in them, that the truck needs to let you know all is well with the tires.

Be sure to check out some of the pictures of the wiring and other components, it hardly looks professional IMO.

that looks terrible... i think I almost choked on my Pepsi when i saw those flames.... sry Pimp my ride is fun to watch, when they take a real piece of crap and make it semi decent, but when they do that. Thats just terrible... Hey question. How the hell do they install all that crap in cars like sometimes they take a full 8 tvs and 8 subs and stick them in a van or something, and we all know that they almost never touch the engine. Wouldnt that totally overload the Alternator,batteries, and stock wiring?

CD DRIVE NOT CURRENTLY WORKING.) REAR BUMPER HAS THE OBLIGATORY LA NICS, INSIDE BOTTOM LIP OF BUMPER HAS A SMALL PIECE MISSING BUT CANNOT SEE FROM OUTSIDE, UNDERNEATH VIDEO SCREEN NOT ATTATCHED. SMALL CUT ON DOOR (SEE PHOTO) SOME PAINT MISSING ON CONSOLE DONE BY WEST COAST (NOT FIXED) TIRE PRESSURE NOT WORKING AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT IN CLUSTER DOES NOT SHUT OFF
How much you wanna bet that most of those problems are WCC fault?

I bet all they car about is that it drives out of the garage. Im sure there is no warranty on anything they do on that show. I think that is why we see these on Ebay all the time.

No doubt lol hehe but yea Im sure that WCC is a great Install shop but do you really think that they care so much about what they do for MTV... They know that MTV knows jack about car audio all they want to see is a shitty car turn into a shiny loud piece shit. Sry for the language. But still I mean West coast built their reputation by being really good, they still have clientell that come to them for quality work.
