This is a recent trend but I predict it's evolving to become a permanent fusion of young peoples social, fashion and music culture . It is the interiors that will be more modified in the future as it easier to personalise without being too loud to unwanted attention!

pimped up cars are sexy and cool and there not showing off!

Pimped cars look terrible, and are hardly ever worth the additional cost. Insurance costs sky-rocket, the cars look terrible 99% of the time, and judging by the 3l33t speak that some of the people are going through on this site, the "scene" doesn't seem to attract the most imtelligent of "playas". As for promoting Asian sounds...hmm, I don't think I want to be subjected to 100dB boom-boxes pumping out music to drow out any intelligent conversation I'm having.

As a car trader I have a passion for cars, but pimped out cars! Well there should be a limit! Making a car look good and not being able to provide the performance is just like plastic mould that’s gone all wrong powered by a Lawnmower. Just as long as it not too much then its fine! A cars not a car when its in disguise! I rather get a skoda Octavia than a hairdryer with stickers! Cars designed with kits to race, that I respect.

Having a smart ride is the way forward! You gotta be able to entertain wherever you go, and a kick ass sound system is the way to promote the Asian Flava. I've been modding cars for years, and it's definitely about being different and making a statement.

350bhp stage 3 converstion RS turbo. Looks stabdard except the spoiler. But try me on for size. Mods should be unseen and under the hood.

I am 100% against pimped up cars, they look terrible, and the people who own these cars are just as bad, they just drive around with loud music on, showing off, doing dangerous driving. and Tito from New Dehli, can I just point out that women do not put on TONNES of make up and spend thousands on jewellry, theres only a few crazy women out there who do that.
Priti, Leicester
I think pimping your car up is kool ESPECIALLY if its a girl cuz you dont get to see dat many girls driving a pimped up car. Ive pimped my car up and my dream is to come in the Max Power magazine..."RESPECT TO ALL DA GIRLS WIV PIMPED UP GADDIES!"
Raz, East London
i can agree that a car which can be pimped should be, but theres no needto go over the top and just make it look as stupid as it was in the begining. theres pimped and then theres just stupidity.
Ajay Kenth, Birmingham
Modifications should be subtle yet smart. Stupid cars like honda civics (old shape)should not be allowed to be "pimped"...thats just wrong!
Salma Khan London
i think its wicked to have slicked up cars. my brothers in to cars n kitting them up! now a days the pakistani community are in to cars but sometimes worries me because they drive round pointlessly for attention. but biggup!!!! lol.
Raz, Uk
I think its cool to get ur car pimped but i feel young drivers need to be carefull but not all drivers with pimped cars race around.

Having a Pimp out car is cool, however its not much u have on 4 wheels but how slick and smart you can make your car look.

As long as nobody is hurt, cruising is good. I used to do a lot of cruising in Florida, Europe, and Latin America.
Tito, New Delhi
Everyone likes to look good, women put on tonnes of make up and spend thousands on jewellery and fashion acessories.......for us guys the car is our ornament. Car modifications aren't upto the mark in India, but if life does give me the chance i would like to modify my first car (small n cute) into a sexaaay beast loll. A well modified car is as much as a style statement as a Versace suit. Thats wat i think about car culture and Pimped out rides.
