says who?

I remember this site 6 years ago was all about the speed/street style. The VIP cars (very few at that time I could count them on 1 hand) used to get crapped on all the time. Bandwagon word is right...Lots of bandwagon VIP guys. I'm glad to see the street style make a comeback. The onicamber is just getting more rediculolus...

You can "be" VIP and street at the same time. Just check out some Japanese builds.
Honestly I like more of a racer/performance oriented car.

I agree, but fads usually die out just like the similar American dub/tis fad has faded out. Performance and function will never go away period. I've always been the type to stray away from the crowd but I'm glad the majority population is VIP followers here because I know my work will actually stand out amongst the rest.

Sorry to double post I'm on my iPhone, but anyways +1 JeffTsai's build was what got me back on this site after a while I got bored with looking at the same styled cars with the same wheels, it just got generic after a while and I found myself on m5post and audizine. I love to see builds like that and definately will be keeping up with Twoloose's build for sure!
