The first true attempt at a VIP 300C
Alright, well a few prominent VIP aero manufacturers (autocouture being one that sticks out...) have attempted to tune the 300C into a true VIPcar, but have still not really achieved the look that many traditional VIPcars achieve so easily. However, a company known as Anceltion has now realeased its 300C. Its VIPtuned to the max, with full chrome wheels with aggressive offsets, Air Suspension, chrome, curtains, and camber. I will be the first to admit that on a daily basis I think about how much I hate 300C's and their wanna-be Bently driving owners with mostly gaudy and poorly fitting wheels. But this one has my respect.
Ladies and Gents- I present to you the Anceltion 300C
^-yeah... curtains- so VIP
So... I think Anceltion has pushed the 300C into true VIPcar class here. We will have to see in the VIPcar clubs in Japan start accepting them, or if they will take the turn of the other cars that have attempted to enter this niche market but failed in Japan. None-the-less- great looking car.
****edit- and for those of you who simply look at the pics and don't read (there will undoubtedly be a few of you)... try and notice this- Its on Air Canisters (read: canover or air runner suspension)- so no post talking about how its too lowto drive! Infact, with the car's current suspension, you can actually get more ground clearance than stock.****

The Air Runners really put that thing on the ground. Looks pretty good.
I am guessing that those are 20s- see how small they look in the wheel wells?
By this, I mean they fill up the fenders top-to-bottom (because the car is so low), but not side-to-side (9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions), looks a little strange in this respect. The fact that this car is black does a good job of minimizing this 'issue'; it would look wierd on a light-colored car.

ehhh...not really feelin it. It just doesnt look right to me. I believe VIP should be saved for Japanese cars only. They are the only cars that I have seen that can pull it off correctly(obviously), and I'm not even a big fan of VIP cars.
Ive seen some other 300C that I liked a lot more.

you gotta be a VIP in Japan to own a 300C!
otherwise, the wheels look too small, I really wonder why they made the wheel wells so big.

Well, the Mazda Sentia (929) is a pretty popular VIPcar in the Japanese VIPcar Club scene, and is readily accepted among true VIPcar enthusiast as a VIP chassis- so you may want to re-evaluate your judgement as to whats VIP. The true judge to a car's VIPcar eligability is whether or not it gains acceptance by the major VIPcar club's in Japan. Until the US gets a true VIPcar scene together... it will probably remain this way.

Well... VIP tuning isn't all about 20's and what not guys. Its actually fairly common to get Celsiors slammed on wide 18's in the VIPcar club scene. The whole "big-wheel" / dub stuff is a whole different scene (Lug Style or LA style...)
