I like it, but I'm used to seeing a lot of "art cars" in the SF bay area.

Some elements of VIP can be seen, look at those crazy offsets, tucking, fender rubbing, negative camber, etc. Just needs some polish.

It is all about the speaker system with the speaker custom mounted on the dash.

If you like "art" cars, check this one out. VW, in the mid-1990s actually did a number of these at the factory (yes, it was a limited-production factory paint job called "Harlequin").

I saw one, brand-new, sitting in the showroom at a VW dealer across street from where I worked back then. I thought it was a joke, until I looked at the authentic factory sticker. I took some shots of it with my old 35mm camera and sent them to Car and Driver magazine.

NO way! There is a guy around here that has one. I thought for sure that he did that himself. Fun fact.
