Tricked out
Meaning: A vehicle that has been heavily customized or modified with flashy additions.
A tricked-out car has been souped up with custom rims, sound systems, paint jobs, body kits, lights, or performance upgrades. The term was popularized by the MTV show 'Pimp My Ride' and can apply to anything that's been elaborately customized — not just cars.
