The shows aren't footing the bill at all on most of these shows.
yup i knew that.. no way could shows like this afford to foot the bill cause they do it EVERY day on air and it's mostly labor work not really much ad placement on these shows..

now shows like MTV's Pimp my ride i think mtv pays to fix up these rides cause they do a lot of ad placements by saying they are installing a Playstation or x brand LCD...

Actually i doubt it's actually MTV footing the bill more than likely it's companies like Sony giving them the Playstations and other nice things to put in these cars in return for on air advertisement
