Stance: Achieved (VIP Styled TL)

I think I've Achieved the Stance of a VIP Styled TL...

Like my boy Soup said today... "if you can Believe it, you can Achieve it" ... Very wise and true words... Type of words people should live by...

I decided to perdue the VIP Style of modding in late March when I ordered the wheels... I knew when I submitted the choice and specs that I had a long road ahead... Before this build I was aimlessly throwing mods into the car without an end in sight... It's great to set a goal and strive to accomplish it...

List:
Super Star Luxurious Wheels - Leon Hardiritt - Orden - 19x10 F & 19x11 R
AirRunner Kit - w/ Every option
Bodywork to make Car Fit Wheels
Custom Rear Bumper with Lexus LS460 Muffler Tips

Finished:

The Teasers...

and Finally...

First, Thanks to my Wife for supporting my Build

Second, Thanks to all my boys (no homo) for putting up with my crazyness, helping with the build and giving their opinion & additional ideas towards this build...

I could not have done it without all of y'all...

i'm not a fan of VIP, but your car looks AMAZING. Mad props for doing something different and going balls to the wall on this.

All these "one of a kind" thread posters need to check this before they start posting.

Looks pretty good, never been a big fan of the whole VDUB style look with the rims, just my

... but cars real nice over all.

Is that the silver exhaust shrouds off a Lexus around your exhaust? Looks pretty good, whatever it is!

Congrats Rod...I so wanted to do this build with you...Two for's

Im glad I didn't go air when I bought my Tein SS! Cause then I would have been super unhappy...scratch that, I would have hated my wheel fitment! lol you just gave me the motivation to fix THAT =)

Finally, Im glad you believed...cause I knew you'd achieve it even before you started!

Sick ride. Love the pic of the front wheel. Not so enthused about the rear wheel stretch, but the Lexus exhaust is the SHIT! Overall- belongs in the top 5 on AZ!
