Pimp Perfection Guide

by bigrichmcgee

Yet another "Only guide you will ever need" from Candied Skull Publication

"Pimpage Perfection" guide for Pimp My Ride

XBox 360

Version 1.0

BY ERIC WAECHTER

This guide is here to give you guidance to achieve "Perfect" ratings on every
customer in the game.  There MAY or MAY NOT be other methods to doing it, but
each and every one of these was done multiple times by myself and a friend of
mine that was playing also, and they all worked EVERY time.  (Thank you, 
Tom!)

Please do not ask me if I am going to do maps and locations for all of the
billboards and meters.  I'm not.  That was an incredible pain in the ass the
first time and I really don't want to do it again.  I'm also working on a 
guide for Genji 2 on the PS3 and it is taking up a lot of my time.

No, I don't remember where they are either, so don't ask.  I'd just as soon
forget I ever had to do that.

I.  NEW WAVE BEACH
******************************************
******************************************

A.  Marcia --

(Xhibit bonus is in the corner to the southwest of "paint")
Be careful of the Xhibit bonus because it looks like you can get to it from 
the "interiors" side, but you can't.

interior
rims
custom parts
*Xhibit bonus*
ice
paint
*Xhibit bonus*
body kit
*Xhibit bonus*

You should have time to kill now to grab a "red star" supplier.  Keep looking
at the map.


B.  Andrea --

(Xhibit bonus is just west and south of "rims")

paint
interior
body kit
*Xhibit bonus*
rims
*Xhibit bonus*
ice
custom
*Xhibit bonus*

Should be able (and have time for) a nearby "red star" supplier.  If it's not
close enough, just wait, next one should be, but when I got done with the 
last bonus, the red star was right in front of me under the bridge.


C.  Hari --

(Xhibit bonus is just west of "body kits")

ice
*Xhibit bonus*

(For the second one, just go up the street a little ways from the shop and it
will give you the bonus again)

Should be time to grab a "red star" supplier now


******************************************
******************************************
II.  INDUSTRIAL ISLAND
******************************************
******************************************

A.  Leon --

(Xhibit bonus is in the northwest square part just south of the "body kits" 
and "custom parts")

interior
paint
rims
*Xhibit bonus*
ice
body kit
custom parts
*Xhibit bonus*
*Xhibit bonus*

Should be near a minute and a half to hunt down a "red star" supplier here
DON'T SCREW AROUND HERE!  TIME IS TIGHT FOR THE XHIBIT BONUS'!  WHEN YOU GET 
IT, JUST GO UNLESS YOU ARE SITTING IN THE ICE BOOTH ALREADY!

B.  Alix --

(Xhibit bonus is at the end of that long white "L" shaped road at the 
northwest part of the map)

interior
body kits
rims
ice
*Xhibit bonus*

*Xhibit bonus* (head for the custom parts, you'll get it on the way)
*Xhibit bonus* (same as above)
custom parts

C.  Aiyana --

(Xhibit bonus is at the upper left hand corner of the triangle section of 
road in the newest part of the map)

Keep your eyes open for "red star" suppliers during this one.  They tend to 
be frequent and close when they pop up.  Grabbing them as soon as they pop up
can make your life a lot easier in this one.  A lot of times, the "interiors"
one will be just to your right under the bridge just as you start.

III.  HIP HOP HEIGHTS
******************************************
******************************************

A.  Jason --

(Xhibit bonus is at the very point of the triangular road at the south end of
the map)

Stay away from that long road on the west side of the map.  Never use it.

B.  Sandra --

(Xhibit bonus is at the corner just north of the 90 degree corner in the 
southeast corner of the map.  You will have everything done before you even 
get your first one.)

This chick is REAL picky about her paint job . . .seems like every one I 
picked that was a 3 star paint job, I only got a 75% on the meter at the end.
I didn't get the "Perfect" until I managed to pick up a "red star" supplier 
for paint jobs.

Utilize the time left to find a "red star" supplier for a paint job . . .it 
seems to be the only paint jobs she likes enough to fill the meter to get a 
"Perfect Pimp"


C.  Zeke --

(Xhibit bonus is at the very point of the triangular road at the south end of
the map, same exact place it was for Jason.)

When you get done with the ice and everything has been pimped . . .you should
have LOTS of time left.  Just start heading back to the Xhibit bonus point.  
About the time you reach the spot where the body kits shop was, you'll get 
the Xhibit challenge.

IV.  DOWNTOWN
******************************************
******************************************

A.  Na --

(Xhibit bonus is in the middle of the loop in the stretch of road between the
two northern sections of town.  The driveway to enter it is on the northern 
side right at the curve in the middle)

Pick up a "red star" supplier ASAP for this one!  It will eliminate having to
go to the "ice" shop and save MUCH needed time.  Be quick!!  The time on this
is VERY tight!

B.  Jewels --

(Xhibit bonus is in the middle of the loop in the stretch of road between the
two sections of town.  The driveway to enter it is on the northern side right
at the curve in the middle, same location as Na's)

Pick up the "red star" supplier for this one at the first opportunity.  It is
needed for her to accept the "ice" you install.

C.  Vinny --

(Xhibit bonus can be found on your right on the long road just as you leave 
the lower portion of the town)

This is another one that will require a "red star" supplier to get a Perfect 
rating on.  It is for the "interior".  Get this one at the quickest 
opportunity.  Time is very tight in this mission as well.

V.  UPTOWN
******************************************
******************************************

A.  Chadborn --

(Xhibit bonus is on the long road between the town sections.  It's on the 
east side of the road, just outside the north end of the tunnel.)

You'll need to catch a "red star" supplier on this one to achieve a Perfect 
rating for "rims".  Time will be tight when you are heading to the last two 
Xzibit bonus', but use nitrous on the long stretch of road on the east side 
of the map coming down from the "ice" supplier and when you get far enough 
south you will trigger the Xzibit bonus' giving you more time.  You should 
have about 45 seconds left to find the "red star" when everything is done 
and you can make it if you watch your map.

B.  Satomi --

(Xhibit bonus is on the long road between the town sections.  It's on the 
east side of the road, just outside the north end of the tunnel, same place 
as Chadborn.)

Catch the "red star" supplier as soon as you can without going too far out 
of your way.  You will need it to pass the "paint" for a Perfect Pimp.  Time 
is VERY VERY tight and you will benefit from triggering Xhibit bonus' and 
getting hit by your competition.  Use them all to your advantage to extend 
your time.

C.  Lucas --

(Xhibit bonus is on the long road between the town sections.  It's on the 
east side of the road, just outside the north end of the tunnel, same place 
as Satomi.)

RIGHT after the first Xzibit bonus and RIGHT outside of where you picked it 
up you should get a "red star" supplier for interiors.  GRAB IT . . .you'll 
be right on top of it and have plenty of time.

**CAUTION!!**  When you get to custom parts, DO NOT get the roof mounted 
thing (it's the last item)!  It will block your view and you won't be able 
to see what is on the road in front of you.  Get the item just before it . . .
the tables in the back seat.

******************************************
VI.  XZIBIT'S WHIP!
******************************************
******************************************

At this point, you should have the achievement for getting "Pimped to 
Perfection" and "Xzibit Challenged", so there is no "Perfect Pimp" on Xzibit's
car (not that I've accomplished anyway).  You have a $10,000 budget to Pimp 
this ride, but each supplier only costs $1000, so you have plenty.  I just 
got the last item in the list on each one.  You have unlimited nitrous, so 
there are no pickups for it.  There are no "red star" suppliers and there are
no "Xzibit Challenges".  The time you have is what you get, and all you have 
to do is make it to each supplier.  Time can be tight here, but you can make 
it.  I pulled in to the last supplier with only 3 seconds on the clock and 
made it . . .and I NEVER used nitrous for it, so it can easily be done.  Just
follow the order below.  You'll have to use the nitrous, however, to get the 
"Speed of the Pimp" achievement.

Congrats on being "Pimped to Perfection"!

VII.  CONTACT INFORMATION
***********************************************************

My name is Eric Waechter.  If you have any questions, comments, submissions 
or anything else constructive to say, please send me an e mail to:

(E mail address has been moved to bottom of this section.  You need to 
read ALL of this before you send me an e mail!)

I will answer you as quickly as possible unless you are sending flaming 
e mails, in which case I will be ignoring you, telling your mom and sending
your e mail address to gay and bisexual porn sites.


****BEFORE YOU WRITE TO ME!!!****

I do not mind answering questions, in fact I have enjoyed hearing from 
folks all over the world already and have met some really great people, 
but I would ask this:  Please don't write with a question until you have 
CAREFULLY checked the walkthrough to be sure the answer isn't there.  I 
have been receiving a LOT of e mail and I'm the type of person who has to 
answer EVERY SINGLE ONE (it is just the kinda guy I am and I wouldn't 
sleep if I didn't answer one - not that I sleep anyway).  Far too many of 
the questions have been things that were answered in the walkthrough, and 
either because the individual read too quickly or they had not read far 
enough, they didn't find the answer they needed. Please help me by making 
absolutely sure the answer isn't in the walkthrough already.  Due to the 
overwhelming number of repetitive questions I have received from previous 
walkthroughs, I am no longer answering your e mail if the answer to your 
question is in the walkthrough.  If you don�t get an answer from me, read 
more carefully.

I am a writer. I write in English and I appreciate those that respond to 
me in English, do it correctly. I do not respond to "internet shorthand". 
Do not write "r" instead of "are". Do not write "4" instead of "for". Do 
not write "2" instead of "to" and for God's sake, don't write "knoe" 
instead of "know". I take the time to write using proper English, you 
will take the time to respond to me in proper English. I believe 
"internet shorthand" is an abomination of the language and simply goes to 
demonstrate INCREDIBLE laziness. I also use capital letters, punctuation 
and sentence structure. I expect you to do so as well. The idea here is 
that if you can read it correctly, then you ought to be able to write it 
correctly too. This is a major pet peeve of mine and I will not bend on 
it. Any e mail sent to me like this will simply get this paragraph, 
copied and pasted, in return.


DO NOT write to me and ask for game saves!  Let me repeat, DO NOT write 
to me and ask me for game saves!  I have spent a lot of time playing the 
game, writing the walkthrough, answering e mails, and updating the 
walkthrough.  I have done everything but take the controller from your 
hands and played the game FOR you, and I am not going to do that too by 
sending you game saves.  If you don't actually want to PLAY the game, don't 
rent or buy it.  That�s just dumb.  If you want to waste $60 that way, send 
it to me instead.  I have PayPal.
