Ok, this may sound like a dumb question but I don't care. What exactly makes a VIP car? Is it a body kit, rims, what?

I wish I was in CA. I would love to check out the shop .

VIP style originated in Japan by means of fixing the high class sedans. Here is a site that will help you get a better understanding on VIP tuning.

A VIPcar is actually a car that they use to drive around the big wigs from City hall...... Japan Goverment to a Company Exe.

The cars Cedric - Celsior - Majesta and so forth are considered VIP. The car does not need anything on it other then saying you own one of these to be a VIP car.

When the Japanese say what kind of car do I have Celsior now Majesta. I always get the same reponse "Oh you drive a VIP car". They dont even have to see my car and thats what they say.

Thats because these cars are normally used for driving around the important folks. (VIP)

Of course the VIP style and VIP car is taken to the extreme......... some dont do much to them and others go to far where it looks bad as in ugly. There is no such thing as your car is NOT VIP......... If you drive an LS its VIP. Sure some look better then others and that will always be the case. As far as Im hearing from some of you CL members my car isnt VIP yet or what is a VIP car. Just owning that car gets you in a VIP car club over here. I got folks in my club that only have tinted windows and nice wheels. They are VIP. As far as them showing off their car at a VIP car show they wont. I take mine but most of my members wont cause they think their car is not up to par......... Someday the club I started will represent.

I would like to see more of you put VIP car under your signature........ ITS NOT HOW IT LOOKS.

GS & LS are VIP cars. Some of you want to add lots of MODs to your car others dont.... So what its still VIP

For those of you that have the nicer VIP cars dont ever look down on a persons car cause he or she doesnt want to MOD it like yours it STILL VIP. Everyone of you have a diffent taste on whats best for your car. It like art. I want Headers and most over here think Im crazy........ LOL

PEACE

Add super-duper-ultra-wide body kit and ultra-wide rims w/ super-stretch tires.

As to Eric & Jacky's car, they simply look AMAZING !!! Clean, elegant, and sporty. Love those style of kits, not ricey at all.
