2) Do you think it's VIP?
Not really, but I have some must have VIP items on my car.. ( JP fusa, spoiler, Work DH wheels, some Jp items, ETC)
I want a daily drive car and I am happy with how my car is how..( speed, Show, daily use, sound competition )
My next LS430 ( regret to sold my UL) will be a all around VIP car.

3) What VIP components do you have on the car?
Too many.


4) What additional VIP lifestyle Items do you want to be considered?
No more.

5) Do you want advise or input on any planned VIP mods?
I have been reading VIP mag from Japan ( my friend brought me from Japan) for 3 years...
But hey, advise always welcome...

I wanted a VIPcar when I 1st got mine so to me its was more EXE cause I was NOT ready to do some of the wild stuff I wanted Mild. Did that stop me from going to VIPcar meets / events did they turn me away from the events cause I was NOT hardcore like most of them were NO!!

When you had a ES you played with it VIPstyle now look you got a NICE VIPcar and you know what to do and what you dont want to do.

Maybe this Thread should be is MY CAR VIPstyle

True, real complete VIp car is not daily driveable...
the huge and wide body will get scrached or cracked after couple month... will get stolen... will get dings ...
maybe it is just me, but if I do a complete all out VIP car, it will be just parked in my garage...

I have been thinking the same lately mine has a kit and driving it daily and winter time makes it worse.

I want to do more to my car BUT I need another car as daily and most likely if that ever happens my car will sit for Weekends or VIPcar meets only.

On the other hand I like my Daily so im kinds stuck

i have some advice. thats way too much crap hanging from your rear view mirror it doesnt look right. not to mention its illegal and beyond that its got to be a huge obstruction of view.... how bout just one lil fusa... its still illegal but atleast its not as obvious and wont look so damn cluttered up. (nice car by the way)

1) Post up a picture(s) of your car (be sure to give good profiles of the wheel fittment and stance) and tell us:





2) Do you think it's VIP?
VIP style is actually the goal I was aiming for, and I think I am getiing close to what I have in mind.

3) What VIP components do you have on the car?
Surprisingly, all my parts and components are either readily available or made in the States.

4) What additional VIP lifestyle Items do you want to be considered?
I got over 3 yrs worth of VIPstyle and VIPcar magazines

5) Do you want advise or input on any planned VIP mods?
Input is always welcome

Future will involve another car, wagon or van, VIP style ofcourse

V8_Aristo's car is the only true VIP style car in this thread (so far) - not that the other guys are 'claiming' VIP. Brian's LS400, Johnny's blue GS and Brian at GT Pro's LS430 are also what I would consider VIP. Kelvin and Nick at Falken both have nice VIP whips, too (Kelvin = black GS, Nick = black Q45).

I would definitely NOT classify mine as VIP. I'm not sure what the heck it is at this point...
But I did sleep at a Holiday Inn last night!

Nice cars, guys!

I'm diggin' the silver Q! I absolutely LOVE the diamond-cut finish on the wheels.

I'm seeing more and more fender vents in the VIP scene...

Mine are all-metal; so far, I have heard nothing but positive things about them..
