It's on air runners, & yes it can be adjusted to even higher than stock, as you can see in these pics :

Yeah its heat. And Lord knows I get it. And this is way bigger than this thread. People just slap whatever title they want on things. Its out of control. I mean, what would Manaray say? He would have a damn fit.

If I hear one more JDM claim on a car with basically some Japenese comany rims and some clear corners, I will scream. VIP is not airbags and some big ugly wheels.

We LOVE how products have never been better available and how there has NEVER been a better time to be able to buy cars.

It also introduces tons of people who have no clue.

I KNOW, I didn' t know much in the game. But damnit, I read up and read up and still read like its my fist day.
THIS is more VIP than that whole car


and again, I REALLY LIKE the 300C, IMO, it changed the game for American cars.. But a RENTAL car is not a VIP car (just check one out for yourself at ENTERPRISE rental agencies)

How about a Mazda Sentia (929)? VIP? probably not right? WRONG- its one of the major VIPcar's out there right now. Or how about the Jaguar XJ8? Not Japanese... But wait! Its been on the cover of 2 different VIPcar magazines in one year, and has growing support as a legit VIPcar (not just a VIPstyled car)!

Your definition of a VIPcar is a bit off. However- my feelings are that this car will indeed become a common car in the major VIPcar clubs of Japan (this is where the standard as to what is and what is not VIP is created... we can judge, debate, and discuss till the cows come home- but true VIPcar status comes from here)My prediction is that we will be seeing more and more of the 300C in the VIPcar mag and in Japanese VIPcar clubs (we already see quite a few).

By the way- you posted a pic of a JP car with a fusa... Anceltion makes their own Fusa too... , and Im sure you know what the fusa represents and the different knots seen on Fusa's.

Why would a 300C be VIP? Its PLAYED already. Since its been out, they have a DUB edition and any edition u can think of. How can a car with an interior resembling a 1989 Sentra, be VIP?

It makes no sense.
Of course the car will be common, it starts at 24k. In 2 years, this is a 16k car.

I can understand a VIP LS 430 or Q45 or S-class. Those are very expensive cars that PRESENT VIP status STOCK.

A 300C just screams I WANNBE VIP.

Thus the fake Bentley Look

(AND AGAIN ()#$()#() it I like the 300C)

You are correct, but the car is definitly VIP style. A car's cost does not DIRECTLY determine if it is accepted as a vip platform. A car is decided to be vip if the true vip tuners/clubs accept the car to be so. For instance, the Windom had a strong attempt of being vip but clubs lost interest and the car lost vip status.

vip car and culture is quite deep and actually sorta weird. It doesn't make sense like us americans would like it to. (big sedan that cost money, must be vip.) Hell, a lot of diehard vip clubs do not accept european models to be members.
