This is EFFING hideous and in no way shape or form remotely similar to VIP style. Plus these cars are true VIP cars. What was done to that orange one is just a waste. Ya everybody has their own opinion but what is the functionality of any of those mods. IMO VIP style cars are meant to make the car more luxurious and comfortable and I think that a lot of times they succeed. VIP style is classy and doesn't necessarily have to be over the top or tacky. THAT on the other hand screams fast and the furious mixed with Frankenstein.

those trojan type wheels are big here in houston. I hate them. I think they are called "swangaz" and the further they poke out the better.

I agree also. "VIP" is down right ugly too. Rolling around with pulled fenders with13" width rear tires with the butt ugly negative camber??? Yuck! Oh the cheesy "bar" and window curtains are ghetto too. Nothing about that is classy. Nice drop, nice staggered rims is the best look on our cars.

yeah. i guess im old school...but thats no different than everyone laying the cars on the ground/insane camber with all the accompanying curtains and what not. and i'll NEVER understand tires that are too small for the wheel width. neither are my style and make me weep a bit...

yeah....you kids get off my lawn!!!!

In this case I can't move beyond the tail lights. Maybe its the pics, but it looks like the owner dremeled out the tail light plastic and filled it with aluminum foil (same with the wheels under the spokes). I've seen folks using fluffy clouds of cotton under their cars at shows, but aluminum foil filling is a new one.
I got stuck too, but looking closer you can see the paint chips in the bumper along with a dent. So I'm assuming that the accident cracked the tail lamp.
