Country Music Television, also owned by MTV parent Viacom, has a show called Trick My Truck that operates on the same principle, but only customizes semi-trailer trucks.
In the USA all 7 seasons are currently being shown on Speed TV network with all verbal references to MTV dubbed out and images on all TV monitors installed in "pimped" cars pixilated due to copyright issues.
