Former contestants of MTV's Pimp My Ride have revealed that much of the show was faked.
According to the Huffington Post, many of the flashy upgrades installed by rapper Xzibit and his West Coast Customs crew didn't work, made the car worse or were simply taken out as soon as the cameras stopped rolling.
The show, was enormously popular when it debuted in 2004, featured participants who had clapped out cars, which would then be repaired and 'pimped out' with new paint jobs, interiors and rims.
The show also earned a reputation for its extravagant auto features such as adding pool tables, arcade machines, shoe racks, clothes dryers and chandeliers to cars.

Surely the real mechanics picked up on the miraculous transformations.A lot of shows will eventually be proven partly or completely fake.Especially those that routinely take old and dilapidated items (of any kind) and make them like new,or much better than they were when new.I love those shows,but I also realize the potential for deception.
