West Coast Customs Experience

The West Coast Customs Experience was a featured attraction at the LA Auto Show, bringing together one‑of‑a‑kind custom vehicles, art cars, and student‑built projects for a limited‑time showcase. Attendees explored standout West Coast Customs builds—including celebrity rides, radical concepts, and over‑the‑top SUVs—alongside projects completed by West Coast Customs Academy students.

The experience also highlighted a collaboration with New York‑based CART Department, which curated “art cars” created by notable contemporary artists using vehicles as their canvas. Several highly coveted pieces were displayed, including works associated with Virgil Abloh, Daniel Arsham, How and Nosm, Haze, Richard Prince, Futura, Keith Haring, and the Jay‑Z | Kanye West Maybach 57.

A key element of the West Coast Customs Experience was the West Coast Customs Academy, which showcased its unique approach to automotive education. Through hands‑on workshops and mentorship, select program participants worked alongside seasoned craftspeople while following a curriculum focused on real‑world customization disciplines.
