Cool Vip Info

Okay for those that have been asking for some info. I will just share it with everyone.

Car parts

www.autobacs.com This autoparts store I always go to, most of the time they can order anything that I need if they dont carry it.
I may have to pay alittle extra but they have great service.

www.beverly-auto.co.jp

www.original-net.co.jp

www.kingsken.com

Audio and has links to all manufactors in Japan

www.fantasy-spot.co.jp

Wheels my favorite are the Kranze (Cerberus II) they have the 20inch now (maybe some day)

www.weds.co.jp

Used VIP parts bodykits / audio / mufflers / wheels

www.hasegawa-net.com/vip

Body kits

www.admiration.ne.jp

speed info

www.tomsracing.co.jp

Air suspension controller....... this was the 1st thing I got my car. (must have for me) With it now the height moves up and down about 12 inches with out it was no more the 4-5 inches. I need it for driving in the snow with my 16`s on and works great when I have my 18's on during spring and summer. I didnt have to drop my car any it looks great when its all the way down. I cant drive it this way but looks awsome when parked.

www.datasytem.co.jp

there are two VIP mags

VIPstyle & VIPcar both are excellent. $5.00 each

Celsior Master comes out every two or three months $10.00 to get this one I have to order it thru the local book store.

If you find something you need see if that company will send it to you 1st before you ask me to HOOK YOU UP!! LOL

Using your credit card and them sending it to you is way faster.

Default try again

I would say let one of the CL members Im helping out solve his problem first. Then if everything works out he can give you advice on how to install. Unless you can read Japanese and want it ASAP.

hopefully this link works now.

ASE664 is one of the newer ones.

The model I got is about 2 years old.

You need the one made for your car.

Unhappy darn!!

i have never had so much trouble trying to spend money!!
(i still want it though)

Default ohhhh by the way.......

Most companys will send to you by mail.

The only reason you should have to go thru an importer is for Items that are to large to be shipped via parcel post.

Dont use those people unless you have to!!
