Middle East Coast Customs
So I heard rumors about this a few months ago, and foolishly never followed up. Apparently car restoration / customization house West Coast Customs, known mostly through their MTV show Pimp My Ride (hosted, by the way, by the surprisingly genial rapper Xhibit), is opening an office in Dubai.

Don't believe me? They have a website to prove it.

Genius.

Even more genius, the Discovery Channel is already filming a documentary series in Dubai on the shop, not unlike their series American Chopper. (If you don't know the show, you actually do but just don't know it. You totally know the dad who runs the shop, the guy with the 'stache. See? I told you you knew him.)

Anyway, according to news reports, West Coast Customs Dubai will work on the cars of U.A.E.'s "high status individuals".

Now all we need to know is the Arabic verb for "pimp", and we'll be all set ...
