i agree the shop is a little shady but if he can make that much money and have that good of clients in that area and all you guys claim to be better then go and open up a shop right next to his ass and put him out of business and take his money until then quit hatin on the fact he makes a killer profit quick where youll be working all week to make that dollar everyone has a budget and everyone with a shop is going to squeeze as much money from a job as possiblethats why theyre in business to make money not to impress you broke fockers.....so if your all that good get you a show on speed and show that you can get rich working on cars and hire me....if youve never had to wipe your own ass im sure you cant tell the difference in good or spray paint just what you want and how fast you want it if they dont like it im sure will would redo it for them at another killer profit

Would any of you honestly not do what he does for the money he makes? I will agree that what some of you do in your driveway is more custom and I am sure he would to but lets face it, do you really think people want there RR bodydropped with an airbag suspension? He has filled a niche in the market and has thrived off of it. Dollar for dollar he makes more then any other shop on the east coast (have you seen his house??). A few days ago a repected shop owner came on here asking how much to install lambo doors. He said he didnt want to do it but everyone agreed if thats what the customer wants and its going to pay the bills then you do it! Listen to every epsiode and he will probably say thats what my clients want. They want to bring in there 100k luxury vehicles to get rims, tint, stereo and maybe some interior and be on there way. His clients are professional athletes, musicians and just flat out ballers. Most dont have the time or want the headache of spending six months watching something get built or spending time on the phone with shops. They will save that for they when they retire at 40 and have nothing better to do.I am sorry but you guys are just comparing apples to oranges.It may not be custom or unique but most of that shit is hot!! I hope he is able to find time to come read this. Do your thing Will, let the haters hate

spicy, what you stated is the exact problem, and why everyones on here bitchin. SOoo many people and shops do so much better and higher quality work its not even funny. He is making a killing off of people that dont know any better. Sure that basketball player knows everything there is to know about playin ball, and probably doesnt know shit about cars. BUT he say UA on tv and figures there on tv, they have to be good.
Life isnt fair like in a movie, sometimes geniuses never get recognition, and dumb hacks make it big.

you guys are right, I would do it too..if thats what the people want and are willing to pay then so be it... I do give him credit for what he has made of the business, But to claim that he is the best and his shop is unique is a joke. last episode I saw they drilled out some rims with a hand drill to make the studs fit, then another they showed Remi jumping on a box to get the wood to fit right. all Im saying is practice what you preach...if your the best then put out the best work, if you claim to be unique then you better be unique but none of this is practiced at the shop.

It should be called Cookie Cutter autosports...where your ride can look like all the other "ballers"

I would gladly make a modest living doing work that I wanted to do then make a killing doing what Unique and shops of the sort do. Its not always about money, believe it or not.

Plus, how much more would it cost him to just prep and paint interior panels the RIGHT way? It's not really about the time or cost- I'm sure he knows that what they're doing isn't the right way, but as long as nobody calls him out on it he gets away with it...
Hopefully with LEGITIMATE custom shops getting more attention in mainstream media guys like him won't continue to make money off of people who don't know any better, but it's up to us to build the sickest rides we can to show people what "custom" and "unique" really mean!

Thats just beautiful and heartwarming...too bad poetry doesnt pay the bills

I am sure Will stands in his garage every morning deciding which car to drive just wishing he made a modest living, and I'm pretty sure he built the company from nothing so I would say he is doing what he wants.
