* CreatorBacklash: Xzibit only did the show "so MTV would play my videos" and grew fed up with being considered TheFace of it and having people harass him for changes they didn't like done to the cars - pointing out he was just the presenter and had no say in any of the modifications.

* CreatorBacklash: CreatorBacklash:
** Many participants were unhappy with their modified cars and how the show made them film fake scenes of them being excited when presented with their "pimped ride." They also hated how the show made it look like their cars' modification only took a few days when they had to go more than half a year without reliable transportation.
** Seth Martino was unhappy with how his episode focused revolved how his weight, with misrepresenting him as a gluttonous candy addict and giving him a cotton candy machine in his car's trunk.

* MemeAcknowledgment: Mixed in with feigned CreatorBacklash, Xzibit responded to all the "Yo Dawg" memes by posting an angry selfie of himself on his Twitter about how he shaved off his hair to dissociate himself so he'll never have to deal with the meme ever again. Again, feigned.

* StarDerailingRole: Xzibit says that the series ended up hurting him as MTV had him shooting his segment for months on end, which prevented him from touring and producing new material right as his music career was on an upswing.

Undermined by Reality is under construction.


* UnderminedByReality: An article in ''TV Guide'' once followed up on some of the show's more memorable cases. They found that quite a few of the kids were encountering serious financial problems thanks to it. The kids, who are often driving these old, beat-up cars because they're broke and that's all they can afford, found that their insurance rate went through the roof after Xzibit and Co. got a hold of them. Possibly adding to it, all of the extra things they added into the car had to have ruined their gas mileage as well.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Reality shows are already immediate by nature, so it's inevitable that a reality show all about showing off trendy, state-of-the-art cars and technology would make it a time capsule.
