Yay. Fun pictures.

Yes, the fogs are yellow. I took the yellow vinyl off and swapped the bulbs back to stock white. I think the white looks better integrated with the rest of the white LEDs in the interior and exterior of the car. I get it, JDM yellow for sporty cars, not for VIP styled cars.











And no, the fusa does not interfere with the navi screen as viewed from the front seat.

Very well done but more EXE than VIP....Maybe VIP "inspired"...gotta be careful with what you state and the pics you post or you might get jumped on

Hey, just to re-define here, I'm not here to hate or talk down to anybody but no mirror ornament will ever define you as VIP or anything for that matter. In the last 4 years or so the fusa has been more of a marketing gimmick than anything.

The main thing is the platform, your commitment to quality, low and wide stance. You can definitely do VIPstyle and many have succeeded. VIP exudes status, luxury, first-class.

Just finished installing Air Runner's fully integrated air suspension with AccuAir's e-level management system. Just in time for Motion Auto Show in Long Beach today! Pics to follow.

Matt, I have been watching your build and frankly I like your BEFORE shots on this first post.

I think you are missing a style between "ricer" and "VIP" and that is clean and sporty.

Not a fan of either of the extreme ends but I really like your first few pictures posted on page 1.


P.S. Is that a home dome light you sourced into your car? h0ow do you not hit your head on that thing! haha
