* ''Manga/WanganMidnight'''s [[SpiritualSuccessor authorical ancestor]], ''Shakotan Boogie'', features lots of ''UsefulNotes/{{Bosozoku}}''-styled lowriders ranging from the main characters' Soarer, Fairlady Z, Skyline, and even minor character cars such as [=AE86=] and other cars, to the extreme. ''Wangan Midnight'' itself doesn't feature this too much.

* In ''Film/RevengeOfThePinkPanther'' we see Clouseau's "Silver Hornet" - a Citroen 2CV with ludicrous add-on fins and other accoutrements. [[RealityEnsues It falls apart into a heap in both scenes it's in.]]

* Q Branch of the ''Film/JamesBond'' series specializes in pimping out [[strike:cars]] pretty much anything. Want to drive your car with your cell phone? Need some FrickinLaserBeams in a wristwatch? A suitcase that hides everything from money to knives to a takedown-style sniper rifle? You got it! It's downplayed as much as possible - equipment issued to undercover operatives must look and function identically to whatever it's disguised as to not draw attention - but God ''damn'', that is some top-notch pimping.

* [[Franchise/ArchieComics Archie]] once had a shiny new exterior installed over his beloved, beat-up antique jalopy. It didn't fool anyone for long because "Betsy's" interior was as broken-down as ever.

* In ''Film/RevengeOfThePinkPanther'' we see Clouseau's "Silver Hornet" - a Citroen 2CV with ludicrous add-on fins and other accoutrements. It falls apart into a heap in both scenes it's in.

* Juiced obviously follows up from Need for Speed, but the game's racing style has more emphasis on racing simulation until the more arcade-y Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights released.

* ''Videogame/NeedForSpeed'' features this since Underground, it was removed in Hot Pursuit 2010 and it won't return until Need for Speed (2015) onwards.

* All the cars in the ''Franchise/TheFastAndTheFurious'' series.

* ''Comicbook/SinCity'' has its fair share as almost every car has a souped-up engine and is in prestine condition for vintage automobiles.

* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'': Flash did this with a full-sized van once. Green Lantern asks why a van, then quickly adds, "[[AutoErotica I don't want to know.]]"

* In the music video "Pretty Fly For a White Guy" (not to be confused with [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy the trope it named]]), the titular white guy added hydraulics to his car, which might have been a pinto.

* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has the Winchester brothers' famous 1967 Chevy Impala, [[FanNickname the Metallicar]].

* The [=DeLorean=] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeLorean_DMC-12 DMC-12]] from ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' trilogy, seen above, which Doc Brown converted into a TimeMachine because of its stainless steel construction and, of course, [[RuleOfCool if you're going to build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?]]

* ''SaintsRow2'' had even more and better Car-pimping options than ''San Andreas'' did. The tricked-out rides that you can make truly are remarkable!
