A sharp blue paint with a bit of flames, hood scoops, the usual poor-tier wheels to expect from this show, and the trunk being completely gutted out and turned into a party center with loads of speakers/woofers, and an Xbox. I have a soft spot for "Luv" trucks, so this one gets a pass despite its poor aging in some areas. Not much I could find about it, but according to some talk on forums its said that Neil has since sold the truck.

In many cases, the contestants either saw it as a way to make extra money, or were faced that the realization that whilst on the outside it looks "fly", the insides are still as poor as when the car arrived at the shop. One of the former contestants in an AMA mentioned he had to spend over $1700 of fixing the engine up after he got it "pimped". They've only ever really done any work on the insides of the car if it was already breaking down to begin with.
