Josh's 1988 Acura Legend is far from legendary--it barely qualifies as a vehicle when we first meet him. A chain and padlock hold down the hood and the electrical wiring is so confused, the windshield wipers go off every time Josh honks his horn. Josh teaches inner-city kids, so he needs a ride that they can respect and one that shows the kids that decent, hardworking people are paid back in life.

Thankfully, Xzibit and the guys at West Coast Customs are willing to lend their magical, mechanical touch. When X arrives at Josh's house, Josh is so psyched, he can't help but to run over and give X a giant bear hug, lifting him into the air. X is a bit shocked by this gesture, but definitely understands Josh's excitement.

At first, the guys at West Coast are overwhelmed by the site of the Legend, but after some tough labor the detached bumper will no longer be occupying the better half of the vehicle, and Josh's girlfriend will finally be able to sit shotgun. 2Shae gets to work on the body with a coat of the official color of WCC, Oriental Blue. To give it that extra shine and sparkle, he puts on a coat with metallic flakes. Ish accents the brand new, blue leather interior with alligator skin to match Josh's alligator shoes. Adding to the exterior, Alex uses 18-inch chrome rims to fully pimp out the Acura.

A few last minute touches are added to Josh's car before he sees his new ride. The previously non-existent radio is replaced by a brand new XM satellite radio system and an MP4 player so he can listen to music and watch music videos. The back of the driver and passenger seats are complete with 10-inch monitors and a Playstation 2. The armrest in the back has a 7-inch DVD player to complete the entertainment system.

When the crew reveals Josh's new Acura Legend, he is so excited he can't stop hugging everyone in the room. As if the new body, interior and electronics weren't good enough, the guys left a few surprises in the trunk to help Josh out. A custom made rolling, bowling ball rack and hidden bowling shoe compartment allow Josh to safely store his bowling equipment in the trunk. In addition to the ball cleaner/polisher, 2Shae custom painted a brand new WCC bowling ball. X presents Josh with a WCC bowling shirt before he heads home in his new ride. Josh can finally drive around with confidence and respect.
