Overall, Pimp My Ride: Street Racing is quite an enjoyable title. Whilst it is nothing amazing and doesn't offer anything new to the genre or racing games, it does have a nice "pick up and play" quality to it. The lack of any celebrity endorsement (Westwood or Xzibit) is noticeable, but whether they are missed or not is up for debate.
Overall, you've got a racing game that feels like a reskinned version of better racing games on the DS, has a poor customization feature despite being based on a show all about customizing vehicles, and the show the game is based on has been off the air for some time now. Shameful attempt at cashing in on a license that isn't even worth very much anymore.
