hate how the 2is handles drops, it always rakes.If you can correct that and make the carbon less noticeable or lose it all together then you've got a start. Right now though you just look tuner with curtains.

Look good though, keep it up.

You have a great looking is first off, a good platform for anything imo.

You definitely started off way in tuner land, but you've made a TON of progress towards VIP land.

Check out this slick IS for some inspiration

Hawaii representin in that link!!

I believe hes on this forum as well.

Your car looks nice mang, but i say the main thing making you look tuner would be the carbon fiber parts.

Good luck on whatever you do to it though!

BTW, drive careful on your vossens.

They are notorious for cracks and bends and the guys at vossen don't stand behind the durability of their wheels at all.

Not really, everyone seems to think it's low offsets, lots of camber and some curtains. Those people are dumb.

start looking on here and start putting it together

I know that, he just asked what the VIP style really is.

You KNOW you don't drive a VIP car from the chassis up, but you throw in some VIP styling mods and it's a partially VIP inspired car.

Anyone trying to do the 100% VIP look on an IS isn't going to achieve because it really isn't a VIP platform.

I love the drop on your car. By the way good luck on steping out of the box and trying to make a VIP style car out of an IS. I understand that it's difficult but yet original. GL on this build

Get some aggressive tires, cambered, remove the carbon fiber mods, get some Junction Produce Products and I would say VIP'ed!!!..
