Street Customs is an exhilarating show that started airing on TLC in 2007. The show's primary focus is the art of modifying vehicles to create custom rides. It was hosted by Ryan Friedlinghaus, the founder of West Coast Customs, a well-known custom car shop. Other co-hosts include Carmen Belanger-Martin, an auto enthusiast, and Sylvester Stallone, the iconic actor.

Street Customs is a show that revolves around car customization, and during its run, it gained a considerable fan following. One of the reasons why the show was so popular among car enthusiasts was its unique approach to car customization. The show's focus was not just on the physical modifications done on the vehicle, but also on the story behind why the car was being modified.

Each episode followed a specific custom car project from start to finish, showcasing the entire process of how the car was transformed into a work of art. Ryan, the main host of the show, and his team, would start by meeting with the car owner to discuss what they wanted to achieve. Based on the car owner's vision, Ryan and his team would come up with a plan to make the car a reality.

What made the show unique was the fact that they didn't just modify any car, but rather, they took high-end luxury cars and transformed them into even more exceptional works of art. The team would strip the car down to its bare bones and start rebuilding it to the owner's specifications. This process often included adding new parts and gadgets that improved the car's performance, appearance, and overall functionality.

The team behind the show was incredibly skilled and knowledgeable when it came to cars. They would use innovative techniques and cutting-edge technology to ensure that each car they worked on was not only unique but also of the highest quality. It was fascinating to witness the team's passion and dedication to their craft, and how they turned each car into a bespoke masterpiece.

One of the most exciting things about the show was seeing how the owners of the cars reacted when they saw their custom ride for the first time. The level of emotion that the owners would express was often genuinely heartwarming. In many cases, these owners had a deep emotional attachment to their cars, and the Street Customs team would take great care in ensuring that they would still be able to enjoy it after the modifications.

The show's co-hosts also played a significant role in keeping the viewers entertained. Carmen Belanger-Martin would often take the viewers on a behind-the-scenes look at the show's filming process, and Sylvester Stallone would make regular appearances, often giving his unique perspective on the cars and the customization process.

In conclusion, Street Customs was a show that brought a fresh and innovative take on car customization. It was a show that showcased the process of taking something ordinary and transforming it into something extraordinary. It left viewers on the edge of their seats, itching to see the final result. The show was educational, informative, and above all, it was entertaining. Even though it's been over a decade since the show aired, it's still a must-watch for any car lover.

Street Customs is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (22 episodes). The series first aired on October 11, 2007.
