mtv "pimp my ride", do they do actual mechanical improvements?

like if the car came in with engine/transmission probs, do they fix it?? or is it strictly just cosmetics?? it would be nice if they would pimp it out but also do some speed modifications to it.

Today they spent $15K on a ~$5000 Honda Civic. And the girl was excited too. I would be kicking and crying. Get me a new car damnit.

I wondered that too, some of the heaps look like they barely run when they pull them into the shop.

The saddest one was when some kid's Mitsu Mirage got hooked up. They put chameleon paint on, big chromies, an *8 track player* 😕 and a fish tank (that'll be interesting in 6 months), with 4 POS Matrix racing seats installed fopr when you're hauling 4 people around a rotary at 80MPH. Absolutely friggin retarded. Then the kicker, he brings his cars to his buddies who own new BMW's, Benzes, and Cadillacs and says "he fits in" or something to that effect *gag*

I think I briefly saw them put some kind of intake for the girl's civic

wouldn't mind if they did that for my car =)

It was funny the first time I watched it, but then they basically do the some ugly mods to all the cars. Kind of repetitive

looks all cosmetic but they always do find a spot to fit in a ps2 and that 10" lcd screen that all cars need
