pimped out
Ostentatiously tricked out
Pimped out describes something elaborately customized or flashily upgraded, especially vehicles: a pimped out Escalade with spinning rims.
The term comes from stereotypes about how pimps dress and accessorize—gaudy, attention-grabbing, excessive.
It can apply to anything ostentatiously modified: a pimped out gaming rig, a pimped out golf cart.
The phrase carries a whiff of tackiness alongside admiration for the effort involved.
