Those VIP Modulars totally enhance and complement the already sick and very clean VIP Executive LS460. I personally think the trafficstars were in need of a retirement for the LS, you have this look spot on in my personal opinion.

Sojah, don't listen to someone who got tired of his 430.....don't sell. This car is one-of-a-kind.

I usually love black w/chrome lips but not matte black. The other wheels made the car stand out more and fresher. Dull matte black makes it look older. Just my opinion.

^ ^ ^ i agree somewhat and thank you. BTW i am color blind so my opinion of how it looks may be different from most i like it, it is different from what it was like for the last few years so to me it freshens up the image. i am going to keep it for another few months for sure, at least till the end of summer 2012 season.

i like the fact that it is not blingy anymore. don't get me wrong i like the attention and when people look at my car (i think most of us do), but i don't like people looking just cuz it was shinny and it caught their eye. i want them to look because they saw something nice. sorta like when that ugly *** honda drives through the intersection with super shiny fake wheels, you look, but you just don't know why you looked. i sorta felt like i got a lot of those looks with my trafficstars, so much so that i stopped cleaning the spokes just so they wouldn't shine so much.

i don't mind a shiny lip at all but i don't like shiny faces anymore.

thanks ebbz, your car is bangin' too.

thanks for all the comments.

i don't remember what roof spoiler it is. i was going to get a nice $400+ dollar one but the car wash/detailer i had a monthly contract with told me about how many they see that come off or don't last long. this scared me into buying a $65 (shipping and painting included) one off of ebay as a tester to see how long it would last. i didn't expect it to stay on at all after hearing the car wash managers stories. well 1.5 years later it is still fine. i normally despise knock off parts, but i just couldn't see a thin piece of molded plastic costing $400+ either

Sojah, I know that feeling man. After two years of driving around on chrome Eurolines, I want to change things up to a dull look as well. I hope to see it in person when spring time comes around.

i just logged into ebay and checked my past history and it was not on there,, really strange.. but i did finally find my exhaust tips that jun and gato turned me onto. here is a different seller selling the same ones presently.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-911-...item3f0edf6e27


i am like 95% sure it was this one here, cuz i remember the sellers name:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/PAINTED-LEXU...item3f10574775

$60 ^ ^ ^ hard to beat...
