JenX: Shiny!

Aiela: This is the first one that seemed "pimped" to me - not much of a theme, but the chrome and the lights and the additional translucent lights seemed fitting

Moominmuppet: Well done.

Bec76: Well, they certainly succeeded on the lots of chrome and guns part

Chris: I would have placed this a bit higher - it's the best example of taking the base model and Pimping it without making it into something entirely new.

By: Worker 201

I stayed up late last night and pimped my mech.

In my understanding, pimping means 5 things:
1. Lots of chrome
2. More headlights than necessary
3. Big motor
4. Extra gauges that don't really tell you anything
5. Ridiculous number of weapons

Somewhat ironically, with all this work done, it no longer makes financial sense to operate a massively pimped vehicle. So it just rides to mech shows on trailers, and sits under a tarp so that other pimps can admire it (without touching).
