I like the bodykit! What type is it?
Problem is the gs is too slow to seriously drool along with M series and AMG Mercs unless you spend some serious $$$.
VIP is much cheaper with an instant nice look.
And especially in a Country where your are only allowed to drive 80 on the Highway i understand the popularity of VIP.
I drive my gs regulary about 140-160mph on our Autobahn and there is quite a gap int the suspension between a Lexus and a M5.
Yesterday i installed a set of coilovers (Bilstein PSS9 Nürburgring edit) an still it doesnt feel as "safe" in fast curves.

Most VIP cars now adays are going towards the Sport/VIP look, hence the lambo style vents in your sideskirts and front bumper. With the 2jzgte motor available in the Aristo's in Japan, I can guarantee that there are high horse power VIP cars. Take a look at the 360Power Aristo with the Mode Parfume kit drifting....

To me the aerodynamics are an important factor in creating a street performance vehicle. I don't know what flash you may be speaking about. Wether it's the spoilers or BBK, which is necessary when you add more GO to your ride you need to counter balance that with more STOP. To me all the cars posted on this thread are all complete works of art that are fun to drive. From JeffTsai's Super GS with an engine so sexy it should be in Playboy, to 1SwtGS's one of a kind ride with custom everything or RmmGS4's beautiful silver beast that looks like it's gonna fly off your screen with that kit & those sexy wheels and BBK. No one car can be the epitome of everything to everyone. It's options and creativity and the ability to choose and build cars for our preferences that makes all these rides posted on here awesome. Now don't get me wrong Superior's GS looks very street and very aggresive let me not take anything away from his build but to me it would not be the epitome, my ride is not the epitome of street to me. The epitome of street is different things to different people. To some it may be a body kit, louvers and flash.

As much as I respect all forms of criticism and everyones view of things, I believe your statement should be "TO ME, This is the epitome of street and performance inspired. No louvers, no over the top bodykit, no flash and no BS"

when not turning left and right quckly, my strip set up below with drag radials. CHECK
4 Corner AP Racing BBK CHECK
My car has also won 1st place show awards at Toyotafest, Wekfest, Xtreme Autofest, HIN and more, so I have the performance that satisfies my needs while looking good at the same time.
Everyone will have their own interpretation of street performance, but I just do whatever I want to do. I’m not a follower of trends or fads; I just want to enjoy my car.

Sorry Glen, Job Design kit says different Most VIP cars now adays are going towards the Sport/VIP look, hence the lambo style vents in your sideskirts and front bumper. With the 2jzgte motor available in the Aristo's in Japan, I can guarantee that there are high horse power VIP cars. Take a look at the 360Power Aristo with the Mode Parfume kit drifting....
