Well that's how my build is being oriented. I really haven't posted any pics of progress because it seems like the whole scene has just been narrowed down to wheels, slamming and window curtains. I'd recommend checking out JeffTsai's builds and some of the GS4 guys are more performance oriented.

you all are correct, VIP is the newer trend and like most, follow the band wagon. i do not mean to say that i dont appreciate all the work that goes into these machines and i like alot of them. but for me, i like to drive my car "spiritted". but i do think "devil camber" is just rediculous.

please post more race/track inspired gs pics. after all these cars are called "grand sport" (GS) for a reason.

i don't think the right term is "band wagon". it's more of a lifestyle and yes most people with luxury cars choose the VIP look because they bought a luxury car to cruise with. but some of us (like me) love to drive the **** out of our cars. and i do agree on the "devil camber", it is rediculous, but then again, it's a lifestyle.

i agree it is a lifestyle, but it also a car modification fad as well.
