On Overhauling they aren't trying to put stuff in a car that does not need to be there.

I have to agree with you Lou.

West Coast Customs does do good work too. I've seen pics of other cars they did that weren't part of the Pimp My Ride tv show. I don't put the blame on WCC. I put the blame on the producers of the show. I think it's the show itself that tells WCC to go ridiculously way over the top.

As for putting screens everywhere and making the cars look stupid. The show is called Pimp My Ride. Not Restore My Ride. Overhaulin was all about doing resto-mods. Chip Foose's style is about making customizations that look like they could've (or should've) been a factory option. Overhaulin's work is more classy, PMR is flashy.

I haven't seen Overhaulin on tv in a while. Pretty sure it's only in reruns now. In that case, you'd have to check your local listings. Like BigPana said, try searching youtube for episodes of Overhaulin'.
