Rapper Will.i.am is the proud owner of a custom DeLorean, but his overindulgence of style was his undoing on the streets of Los Angeles. The hiphop star was pulled over while cruising around downtown L.A. late last week because he did not have his license plates on display, according to TMZ.

When the officers reviewed his information, they found an error in his registration paperwork in addition to the lack of plates. They impounded Will.i.am's DeLorean and issued him a few citations, but the news source reports the musician was cooperative and polite.

The car itself is a far cry from the Back to the Future DeLorean that Marty McFly drove across time. However, the custom ride is the first to come out of Will.i.am's new custom car company, IAMAUTO. Will.i.am's car is completely white with a wine-colored leather interior, blue LED headlights and a hexagonal front fascia. AutoBlog reports the car was built using OEM Chrysler parts, as well as an old DeLorean and a Dodge Challenger. It also has a Beats by Dr. Dre sound system. No reports have been made about what the rapper is bumping under the hood, but it's unlikely he's got a flux capacitor in the engine bay.

While the car has not been very well received by the public, Will.i.am loves it and will be able to get it back once he deals with his bills. Drivers looking to customize their own ride who don't have the expertise or the tools to do the work themselves may want to talk to the professionals at New Jersey Auto Auction's Total Car Care Center. They may be able to help install aftermarket parts or stereos to get drivers rolling in style.
