EXE Style is a subsidiary of Vip Style. The EXE Style is more executive-derived than its parent Vip Style. Vip Style is more of a "gangster" type of style. Both styles are similar because of the car platforms that both styles use.

Imagine driving to work in an EXE Style and a Vip Style car. Both send out completely different cues to onlookers. to put it short, EXE Style is like a rich man's style and Vip style is like a druglord's style.

two of the biggest factors that distinguishes the two styles are wheel and stance. with wheel and stance, you can manipulate selective aeros to incorporate the style as a whole.

not sure I agree with the "rich man" vs "drug lord" style, but I kinda see it as hardcore VIP vs conservative VIP...semantics I guess.

EXE – Refined and sophisticated

VIP – Extravagant and ostentatious

Not to say one is better than another, yet different styles of the same culture...

In my opinion there is an inbetween gray area where as a certain body kit that would be "gangsta" could be matched with the right "rich man's" wheel to pull off a good medium!

IMO

Exe- Simple Lipkit/Bodykit (mainly Keeping the Car lines Simple), Nice Wheels,Simple Stance. Just a clean Look.
VIP- Body kit, Nice Wheels, CRAZY stance. and a Wild/Sick(good)/WTF look to it.

Exe-



Vip-

So that's the difference.... I thought they were synonomous. Thanks for clearing that up. My wheels are EXE which I know is shorthand for "executive." That explains why my EXE wheels don't look VIP.
