Thanks for the kind words guys, means a lot to me. I will post more pics of the car at different angles to show other subtle changes.

Chubby, I fully understand the car has a long way to go before it is a VIP Style car, and I also know that wheels alone do not place a car into a certain genre. Both you and I having non typical VIP platform cars, I'm sure you can exercise some empathy with me here.

Here is the game plan boys.

Mods to date:

Tein CS-T coilovers
SSR Vienna Dish whels
OEM JDM Soarer rain visors
JDM green tint
S2K exhaust tips
Full S2K retrofit + deline projector path (by 12/07)


Mods to come:

Vertex front fenders with custom led side marker integration
Air ride
Custom LED tails/turn signals
Retrofitted delined projector fog lights
Carputer (MAC mini)
Various other subtle changes to emphasize the cars lines, and shape.

Tein CS FTL for getting low. Mine's cranked all the way down on stock wheels and there's still like a one finger gap. If you're going UAS count me in too.

BTW if you deline your fogs, do you think you can put projectors behind them? They look like the perfect shape.

nice wheel choice and a decent stretch out back also. looking good so far.

BTW, don't take people's words too strongly when it comes to VIP or VIP-style... people in this sub-genre have been popping off with an occasional elitist attitude since I started getting into VIP a few years ago.

Lookin nice and clean. Talk about deep dish in the rear! Seems like you have a solid plan and will look forward to the finished product.

There is VIPcar, VIPstyle and there is your own style of whatever you want to make it out to be. It would be a good idea for VIP, VIPstyle, and EXE to have their traditions be preserved because without the roots, you will never have an evolved styling.

Call it what you want but certain things are VIPstyled and certain things are not. I know emoshun is on the right track and with the future mods, this car will be more on the VIP inspired flavor when the rest are added to it.

Can't wait to see it on air and more camber in the rear man.

You're preaching to the choir here, bro. Just like you, I am big on these styles being preserved and not corrupted by rampant consumerism and the fad-conscious mindset here in the States. My comment was directed towards the tone of some people when they attempt to "educate" people new to the style. There is a decent way to speak to someone, and then there is the "elitist" way of going about it. I joined VSC back in '04 and it was really bad back then. a lot better now though.

Pretty sure Chubby has a 95 LS400, which if iirc, is one of the "true" VIP chassis along with the Q45 and S-class

i like your car tho, one of the few non-tuner-style SC's that are REALLY clean

werd, it was bad back then. Worst part was the people that were doing the bashing acted like they knew everything but when I would pm them to get assistance on what they suggested in reguards to suspension and getting parts, they wouldnt be able to assist me. At the same time, I kind of miss it because now it seems like anything goes.

Back to the subject. Nice wheels, im trying to get my friend with an sc to do a similiar setup but alittle more aggressive front and rear.
