Default What car is the VIP style is based off?
I was searching the internet looking at some VIP style cars to get some ideals for my next mod. And came upon this website.

http://thedriftscene.com/photos/the-...e-bippu-style/

Anyway this car caught my attention. Looking at it I just can't figure out what car it is. Can anyone clue me in? The grill and headling are throwing me off and the body line if unfamiliar. Kinda looks like the front of a SC430 and the back half of a ES or maybe Acura. Maybe I am just getting old.

The Car is a Toyota Mark X. Probably my favorite big body car ever, less a CLS Mercedes. Super amazing lines.

That's a Mode kit on a Toyota Mark X (not available here in the US)

its pretty small actually if you see it in person, about the size of an ES with really really loooooooong wheelbase.

The chrome tirm around the doors kills it. The wheels are a spot on match for the stance and aero.

The MarkX come's turbo'ed & 5-spd.

Here's how it looks stock. Still nice looking but I think I would take it setup w/kit and rims. Nice if it had a V8.
