About West Coast Customs

In 1993, after borrowing $5,000 from his grandfather, Ryan created West Coast Customs, a custom car shop that like its owner busts through every boundary, making their own rules. A philosophy that seems to have paid off; in just a short time Ryan has turned his grandfather's loan into a $10 million corporation and his WCC logo into a worldwide brand. Catering to celebrity clients, Ryan and the guys of WCC are known exclusively for creating straight-to-the-core designs and awe-inspiring custom vehicles. WCC is responsible for bringing the custom whip craze to Middle America. Ryan's creations have no limits to all who are interested in a little bling!
