West Coast Customs Business Summary and Term Sheet

Submitted by Wil Cashen West Coast Customs Partners, LLC, 2/6/2012

West Coast Customs is a car remodeling company started in 1993 by Ryan Friedlinghaus on a $5,000.00 loan from his grandfather, Edward Cifranic, becoming a premier world brand. West Coast Customs has become the brand leader globally for custom cars of all makes and models building its value to more than $28 Million. West Coast Customs is the chosen automotive brand of the Hip-hop generation, blending poetry, art and engineering into a customized kaleidoscope of vehicle and product designs. West Coast Customs is ranked as the #1 global custom automotive brand. The brand evokes quality, style, entertainment and performance to all generations Y, X, Zoomers and Boomers. This a-mast brand energy has made West Coast Customs a truly versatile and portable consumer brand finding new markets and is redefining current ones. West Coast Customs was created by Ryan Friedlinghaus who deeply understood the Hip-hop world that projects the bad boy image colored with artistic tattoos, retro mod designs, music and the raw human desire for celebrity attention.

West Coast Customs is the first and only automotive custom designer and builder to cross the unforgiving crevasse between the automotive aftermarket and main stream global retail. Many factors in technology, media, the internet, market competition and the human condition have lead to the success of West Coast Customs as a growing consumer brand. Growing West Coast Customs WEST COAST CUSTOMS PARTNERS, LLC. has been created to expand the West Coast Customs brand, product and service offering into local markets around the world.

These X- Gen and Y- Gen trendsetters and influencers who affiliate with the hip-hop culture exercise a powerful impact on fashion, media, entertainment, transportation design, interior design and other key consumer-focused sectors of this lifestyle. The automotive industry has spent hundreds of millions attempting to reach the 79 million Y- Gen market with a corporate white washed messaging of cool and hip. For the majority of X- Gen'er and Y- Gen trendsetters and influencers the auto companies have failed in their attempts to reach this artistic, highly tech savvy, knowledgeable, media and entertainment driven lifestyle group. West Coast Customs without spending one dollar on advertising or other forms of Pay-for ad and promotions, has become the raining leader of this category attracting major music celebrities such as Wil- I-AM and Justin Bieber and many other major big and small screen stars that have become a part of WCC's custom car world, willingly promote the WCC brand on a global scale through all layers on media exposure. This endearing relationship that has been nurtured between WCC, the celebrity and the global Hip-hop audience places the WCC brand far in front of all competition vying for attention in this large and special market lifestyle segment. 3

Companies like TrureCar.com and now even the automotive ,auto manufactures themselves continue to make it harder for dealers across North America to maintain consistent profitability. This environment is driving dealers to find new ways to and value to the product of which the vehicle price is not controlled or (given) to the customer by the manufacture or a third party website service. Pricing transparency displayed on the Internet by anyone is bad for dealers and means, price negotiating is being taken out of dealers' hands, a trend that will continue to grow as the auto manufactures work to control and own the customer. Like personal computers, more cars are built to specification at the factory or the dock for buyers who ordered them in advance online. For automakers, personalization is good business and bigger profits. As an example; Mini buyers typically add $5,000 in extras above the $17,500 base sticker on factory- and dealer-installed accessories. Because of "dealer installed options and factory customization", Minis only sat on dealers' lots an average of 21 days last year, compared with 50 days for the premium compact car segment as a whole. Chrysler Group marketing chief Joe Eberhardt says making cars to order could help end the problem of bloated inventories vehicles stacking up either in storage lots or dealers' showrooms. From 75% to 90% of Minis sold are custom-ordered from the factory. Once the customer places an order, it takes two to three months for the car to arrive at the dealer from the plant in Oxford, England. In hot markets such as California, the wait can take three to six months. Buyers can choose from 70 factory-installed options, such as $200 glassy black-lacquer dashboard inserts or $100 racing stripes on the hood. The long wait for custom add on options becomes a time value proposition for the dealer and the customer. Options and accessories provided by the factory branded only as the "Factory Option" carries little "Brand Value Effect" resulting in customers growing impatient or cancelling their orders with the dealer spending extra time with the customer managing expectations of their purchase. West Coast Customs Special Buyers Only, Premium Brand, adds significant value to the customer's vehicle purchase greatly improving the customers purchase experience.
