Our Story

Built by Car People. For Car People.

Dirty South Customs started in a garage with one rule: if you're going to put a brand on your truck, it damn well better be the real thing.

How It Started

A Garage. A Truck. A Problem.

Our founder, a lifelong truck guy from outside of Nashville, spent three weeks trying to find an officially licensed F-150 Raptor stripe kit online. What he found instead was page after page of Amazon knockoffs with wrong colors, bad cuts, and zero authenticity.

He knew there had to be a better way. So he reached out directly to Ford Motor Company's licensing division. Two years of paperwork, factory audits, and product development later, Dirty South Customs was born.

Today we hold active licenses with 12+ OEM manufacturers and ship to all 50 states. Every product still gets the same treatment it did in that Nashville garage: if it's not right, it doesn't ship.

The Mission

"Give car enthusiasts the officially licensed quality their builds deserve, and make it easy to get."

We don't cut corners. We don't sell unlicensed products. We don't pretend a knockoff is as good as the real thing. Southern pride means doing it right the first time.

Every product decision is made by enthusiasts who actually own trucks, muscle cars, and off-roaders. We build what we'd put on our own vehicles.
