pimping up
Making it flashier
Pimping up means making something flashier or more elaborate, often with gaudy or ostentatious modifications: He spent the weekend pimping up his car with chrome rims and LED lights.
The phrase draws on the stereotype of pimps favoring showy, extravagant style.
It suggests improvements that prioritize eye-catching appeal over subtlety or taste.
