yup. I would love to do up a crown.

how motherfucking badass is this

 

I think i just came

 

SWEET MOTHER OF GOD!!!!!

 

yeah that pic is infamous


gangster defined

true bippu is so grown

 

seems to me *esp latelY ) that a lotta you mainland folk havent yet seen/adapted to/noticed vip cars... im surprised that it's such a big thing here compared to the mainland, usually hawaii is last to catch on to fads/etc.

maybe not regarding cars esp. japan related stuff since we're that much closer... but still im surprised at the lack of knowledge./experience from a lotta mainland peeps off of many different forums regarding bippu cars/lifestyle

 

i mean for instance that mode parfume y33 pic... and even the black toy crown on the same bridge.... those pics are at least 1.5 maybe even 2yrs old.. pop up so often.....

beautiful pieces of automotive art

 

You're that much closer to jap that's why

 

I just love that pic, the mode perfume crown is just plain sick, that’s why its posed


It’s only really caught on in CA mainland-wise, its still somewhat of a “new” style of tuning in the automotive world. Hawaii is def doing it up big VIP wise. If you read up on VSC people report on how a lot of their local people/friends don’t even know what VIP is/why a car is modded like that. They see these cars and they and ask questions like “how can you drive that low?” “do you know that your rims stick out past your tire?” “Why do you have a huge ass lanyard hanging from your rearview mirror” etc.

Then there’s the people that have heard of VIP and VIPstyle tuning and still don’t know what true VIP is. I made some posts a few weeks ago, there was a guy asking if his CL could be “made VIP” Its sad but the definition of VIP here in the states is rarely heard, and also extremely skewed. Oh well we just gotta edumacate these folks one at a time

 

keep fightin the good fight justin

 

yea i only know the basics of it to be honest. im more into the honda scene. i dont typically care for luxury cars, i guess thats why it hasnt caught my eye.

 

huge ass lanyard lol...

i wasnt trying to stir anything, i just recently noticed a lotta exactly what you mentioned klepto... people who've never seen/heard of such a thing. where as we've been tinkering with them big "gramma" cars for a few yrs now down hurrrrrr.

 

my ex is from hawaii, and I've been there quite a few times...and to me VIP was just a logical progression for Hawaii since not only 1) the large population of japanese people on the islands and 2) the greater costs of living/general income levels. True bippu style I'm sure is admired by many, but even buying a decade + old lexus in itself can be costly...and then compound that with the actual cost of true bippu items (authentic bodykits, brand name 18-20 inch rims/tires) and you can see how vip isn't exactly for the 'masses.' Not to say that many people couldn't vip the shit out of a lex or infinity and still have enough left over for bare necessities...but for most this just isn't practical. VIP is especially popular in the Frisco area...and well....yeah, the cost of living there is quite high.

I'm sure there are a LOT more mainland people who want/have wanted to go this route, but the funds just don't agree.

 

well to me I had every type of car Import,lowriders,4x4,street bike,vip,

but I would have to say VIP.... cars are the best looking cars....

but im the kind of person that can't keep a car long...hahaha

always need to build something else then sell....

but I would have to say for us people that live on a a island we built some nice ass rides..........

 

I would have to say hawaii also have cars trying to be VIP....

like there some scion XB that have lanyard hanging..with the Garson Premium Curtains ...to me thats some gay shit right there.....thats just my

 

its not just the car to some (including me, im a fan of xb's in "vip" STYLE
although they're not true vip cars or platforms, its the influence that can be appreciated, if done correctly. i'd definitely rather see a well executed vip STYLED xb than some rich kid's wannabe vip F50 w/ ugly weakfitting generic 18's and no drop but all the interior accesories bought (and i have seen such cars locally)

for instance, this thing is hot.





and much sicker than many vip platformed owners who buy all the dumb shit first. all stock q45's with curtains, fusa, pretzel, and a grille wtf kinda shit.

 

thats a nice xb...... but still not VIP........

 

right i know but what i applaud is the way people can take a non-vip platform and still enhance their vehicles appearance to something "outside the box" (pardon the pun...

take my TL, it's no vip car either yet i have garson curtains and some other small goodies too... its just personal pref.



damn right it is a sick xb tho !

 

And people make fun of my neck pillows

 

sup bob, ive been MIA on the cruises, i hardly go on them anymore, but i think i might bring the q out to freeway #15 in december...see you there

 

shooties bro see you there......
