West Coast Customs might be good at pimpin’ your ride, though managing the payroll doesn’t seem to be a strong suit. The California custom shop will be required to pay $157,592 in owed wages to employees that were underpaid from November 2010 to January 2013. We’re guessing the money was spent on putting flat screens in headrests instead.

The US Department of Labor investigated and found that employees were paid a minimum wage weekly rate in lieu of being compensated for working overtime, resulting in an average $6 hourly rate. The pay violation affects a staggering 45 employees in total.
