Default What is EXE Style?

Per title:

What exactly is EXE style? I have googled, searched here as well as a few other spots and I really only found one decent discussion on it which then turned to arguments between VIP heads and EXE heads. So any help would be sweet. And any pics... even better! thanks y'all

garbage pretty much nailed it. its a point of disgreement but generally thats about the only difference. Less aggressive rims and less aggressive drop.

also generally more subtle kits, exhausts, bodywork in general. ie. no flared bodywork etc.

I don't think its less aggressive fitment. IMO I think it's the type of wheels or kit you choose that will determine EXE. That's just MY OPINION

probably because it has a lip kit. i think you would have to get whole new bumpers for it to be VIP. but i dunno just a guess


edit: also i think EXE is like the sporty version of VIP

To me, VIP is a little more wild. The differences are very subtle IMO.






Pulled/aftermarket fenders, more camber, etc. It's just a tad bit more wild, but still is very clean. I think it's really subjective. Nowadays the trend is moving towards more subtle and sporty. Things used to be pretty wild. This is just my opinion though.
