New craze over in Japan...some of the sickest builds, and 100% right up my alley. I love this style, doesn't get any better to me.

Post up pics of VIP GT Style cars or of your own builds!!!

My old GS was more "GT" styling....













My LS is also more towards the GT styling, which is growing on me....

Agreed...I read a bit on VIP GT style, and they are saying it started in Japan by puting high dollar 3 piece wheels on drift cars. I just see the progression in kit builders leaning more towards a race/GT style instead of a clean and classy look. Lexus has done a good job of adding some aggression to their factory styling, so it is natural for the kits to follow suit. Whatever it is, I like it...

Here is my build in process...all new sheet metal coming from the body line down, and might actually be considered VIP GT Style when it is all done.
