Twelve episodes are slated for Unique Whips,which features various athletes, entertainers and celebrities who bring their cars into New York’s Unique Autosports for customization.
The show will air on Speed, a 10-year-old cable network dedicated to motor sports and everything automotive.
"We are taking season three of Unique Whips to the next level with more stars, and a bigger shop," Unique owner Will Castro told AllHipHop.com.
Castro will be working on the cars with is Long Island crew.
"Now that we’ve been on the air for the past two seasons, we’re getting calls from Hollywood, and are catering to the likes of
Busta Rhymes, and Pam Anderson," Castro said.
The appearance on the show isn’t Rhymes’ first experience at Unique.
The rapper had more than 15 cars worked on at the shop. In addition to Rhymes and James, 12 episodes of season three will include custom work for Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, famed author Tom Wolfe,
Lindsay Lohan, Kim Stewart, Pam Anderson and NASCAR champions Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Unique Whips, will also feature the customization of up to six Dodge Chargers for the new John Singleton
independent movie "Illegal Tender."
The movie is scheduled to be filmed in
Puerto Rico.
The project came about after Singleton became familiar with the shop, according to Castro.
"He needed a Unique Autosports look for the main character's whip in his
new movie," he said. "After seeing the first whip, he knew he made the right move and completed the order for the other five."
The Illegal Tender vehicles is one of two new projects for the Unique crew, who will team with artist, designer and entrepreneur Marc Ecko on a pair of whip customization projects of Ecko's design.
