* HatedItemMakeover: Gus is horrified to discover that Shawn paid for the Blueberry, his company sedan, to be [[PimpedOutCar pimped out]] by the chop shop they're investigating. He hates its tacky yellow flames, ridiculous hood scoop, and pimpage-obligatory spoiler. That is, until some women show interest. He gets it un-pimped after [=McNab=] pulls him over because he now [[{{Profiling}} fit a profile]] and the women drive off disinterestedly.

After Lassiter’s car is stolen, Shawn discovers a series of clues that quickly lead to the police busting a car theft ring and illegal chop shop, arguably his most impressive feat yet. Shawn is slightly disappointed at how easy it was. In fact, it feels so easy that he visits the owner of the chop shop, Wally, in jail, to see how he’s doing – but oddly, Wally hasn’t even posted bail. Shawn also discovers a few connections between Wally and a man named Johnny G., owner of the “Bling it On” custom car shop. As oddities and coincidences pile up, Shawn grows sure that there’s more to Wally and Johnny G. than meets the eye…
