pimp out
Add gaudy embellishments
To pimp out something is to customize or upgrade it with flashy, attention-grabbing modifications: He pimped out his Honda with chrome rims and neon lights.
The phrase draws on the stereotype of pimps favoring ostentatious style.
It can apply beyond vehicles: She pimped out her cubicle with string lights and posters.
To pimp someone out is to prostitute them or exploit their services for profit.
