pimped up
Made ostentatiously showy
Pimped up means flashily customized or elaborately decorated, usually with gaudy or ostentatious additions.
The term comes from stereotypes about the showy style of pimps—fur coats, gold jewelry, ornate cars.
A pimped up ride has custom rims, paint, and accessories.
The phrase can apply beyond vehicles: a pimped up gaming rig, a pimped up resume.
Sometimes shortened to pimped: That truck is totally pimped.
