Yet another "Only guide you will ever need" from Candied Skull Publication
"Pimpage Perfection" guide for Pimp My Ride
XBox 360
Version 1.5
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 --
Hidden Supplier - Sitting on the wall of the gas station in the southwest
section of the map that has the GPS token in it.
(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.

You should have time to kill now to grab a "red star" supplier. Keep looking
at the map.
B. Andrea --
Hidden Supplier - On the long road on the east side of the map, north of the
dock where the Hot Steppin' event is and south of the tunnel, on the east side
of the road.
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 --
Hidden Supplier - Just west of the southernmost Hot Steppin' event, on the
south side of the road, near the curve.
(Xhibit bonus is just west of "body kits")

II. INDUSTRIAL ISLAND
******************************************
******************************************
A. Leon --
Hidden Supplier - On the east side of the map there is a loop of road that
looks like a backwards "D". It's filled with shipping containers and large
oil tanks. He is sitting on the wall next to some of the oil tanks in the
northeast corner of this area.
(Xhibit bonus is in the northwest square part just south of the "body kits"
and "custom parts")

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 --
Hidden Supplier - Just north of the short dead end road the southernmost Hot
Steppin' event is on, there is another dead end road identical to it. He is
sitting on the wall on the south side of this road, near the end.
(Xhibit bonus is at the end of that long white "L" shaped road at the
northwest part of the map)

C. Aiyana --
Hidden Supplier - On the west side of the newest part of the map, on the long
winding road. The road forms a letter "A" shape with two other roads that
you can't drive on yet. He's on the bottom of the right hand leg of the "A"
on the east side of the road.
(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 --
Hidden Supplier - On the east side of the map there is a fork in the road as
you head south and it forms the letter "A". Go to the south end of the
eastern leg of the "A" and he'll be just around the corner on the fence on
the north side of the road after you round the curve.
(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 --
Hidden Supplier - In the northwest section of the map, on the northernmost
road, near the corner at the west end of the road, sitting on the fence on
the south side of the road.
(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 --
Hidden Supplier - On the northern road of the loop at the very furthest north
of the map. On the south side of the road sitting on the wall inside the
curve.
(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 --
Hidden Supplier - In the southernmost section of the map, just south of the
round corner in the northwest corner of the area. Directly west of the Ghost
Ride event.
(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 --
Hidden Supplier - In the larger section of town, on the southernmost portion,
the west side of which looks kind of like a triangle with rounded lower
corners. The supplier is just to the west of the only exact 90 degree point
of the triangle on the north side of the street.
(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 --
Hidden Supplier - On the long road between the town sections, he is sitting
on the wall on the east side of the road just outside the north end of the
tunnel.
(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 --
Hidden Supplier - On the northernmost road on the map, at the curve on the
west end sitting on the wall on the north side of the road. It's just west
of the Ghost Ride event.
(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 --
Hidden Supplier - In the lower portion of the map, go west from the "Y"
shaped curve on the eastern side of this area. (If you are coming down from
the north, just hang a right at the curve) At the next intersection, he'll
be sitting on the fence under three flags (You'll see the US flag first) on
the south side of the road.
(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 --
Hidden Supplier - As you head south into the southern portion of the map from
the long single road, take the road that goes east out of the sideways figure
8. As you come around the second bend in the road, look for him to be
sitting on the wall on the north side of the street.
(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.

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.
