Default VIP or sleeper

sup guys, was just on the freeway coming home and seen two crazy lookin scs, one was a straight VIP look with what looked like a big ol body kit, some huge exhausts, wheels where deep dishes, etc. then was followed by a stock looking except drop and rims sc. so i slowed down see what theyd do and the stock looking one just rips it one time and i hear the turbo. but the VIP was like a neckbraker in its own right as it was a beauty. now im thinking of just making my sc a VIP or continue my dreams of FI. i mean you could probably FI a vip sc but really wouldnt be as potent with more weight on it. what would you guys do, racer sc or a super sexy VIP, and for those who went with either already, what made you guys choose ? pics of some nice VIP scs would be appreciated

throw a a turbo onto the VIP.
most VIP are clean and have mild performance. so in a sense a VIP car is a sleeper. well In my opinion it is.

If I had the money, I would trick out the exterior of my SC; but, I would rather invest the money I do have into performance while maintaining the sleeper look than have a showy car with no *****.

For a lot of pirtures of VIP SCs, check out the recently made "Top 8" thread...

It is littered with cars like these:

Got to do both! You will never be the fastest but pretty fast with stlye and class, you can do that. VIP with FI sounds like the ticket!

the T's project SC is sooo sexy, i had it as by desktop background for a while, i absolutely love it. I agree with blizzy, no point in a showy car if it cant do anything, My car, i hope, is a balance of both, now that i have the 1j in,i want to start focusing on the looks.

Lol. My car is for show but no go. The " GO " part may take 2 years for me.

I think you can have the clean VIP-look (show) and be fast (go). Just don't add anything too unnecessary or tacky, like two APC aluminum spoilers/wings, one on top of the other...
