Ryan Friedlinghaus Wiki: Early Life
From an early age, Ryan has been in love with cars, bikes and other means of transport that can be worked on. He would often work on bikes and skateboards of his friends, that needed a bit tweaking. This turned into a passion, and once he was old enough to dabble with cars, he moved on and up, firstly owning an old Mazda pickup truck to which he made various changes. Although there is no information about his education and other details from childhood, it was love for cars that was enough for him, as he started the company when he was only 18 years old.
Career Beginnings
Some sources state that West Coast Customs was created with a loan from Ryan’s grandfather to the amount of $5,000. Be that as it may, West Coast Customs opened its doors in 1994, and gradually his business grew, and ten years later Ryan made his first television appearance. His shop was chosen by celebrities who wanted to upgrade their cars, and this was showcased in the MTV show “Pimp My Ride” in 2004, with Shaquille O’Neal and Sean Combs being two of his many customers, so Ryan was slowly reaching the stars. His time in “Pimp My Ride” was quite beneficial, though he parted ways in 2007, but almost immediately he received new offers for TV shows. The new show “Street Customs”, started airing on Discovery Channel and TLC at the same time, which helped Ryan to further establish a name for himself in the car industry.
