That pimp my ride TV is in no shape, way, or form a good example of American car modifications. People hate that show and the trash they create.

If you give some dates, we could get you a schedule of some of the shows going on over there. Pretty much there is always some big show/racing going on every weekend. Welcome to the site.

Yes, dont take "pimp my ride" as a good representation of the American car scene.
That show is merely for us to laugh at.

It varies as you say, like your east coast n west coast, Euro style, Jap style, UK style etc.
Here's some east coast style for you.



















By the way, american drivers suck.... well, mainly virginia drivers, but they are nowhere near as good as the average european driver. So, be careful.

Nothings been set yet, and we dont know enough about where to go etc, but we both want to make sure we see some US action while we are out there.

East n West have big style differences? Supposes thats like UK modding and Euro Style. We tend to heave the biggest sized wheels possible under the smallest arches, big mad ass bodykits etc, where-as Euro style is very smooth, tiny wheels etc.
hahahah youll fit right in with the west coast then.

I would recommend checking out the date that SEMA is taking place at Laguna Seca raceway this summer. They have cars from all over the place, and last summer when I went there was a lot of interesting stuff and new products to go with the cars that were on display.

Laguna Seca is in Laguna Beach California. It's in Southern California and is about an hour or so south of Los Angeles.

i would go hit up www.superstreetonline.com, its the sight of one of the bigger mags for modified cars in the usa, and it has a good representation of cars from all over the usa but mostly from cali. personally i like the eurostyle of cars its enough to make it stand out but not over the top, i had a vw golf i had to get rid of that i did the whole euro look to. have fun when you get over here.
