cool rims. great work for what you were trying to do. i will never understand how vip is cool tho. it looks like the backhoe in that pic must've just crushed your car. and now it needs to be repaired.

lololol
These "VIP" threads always amaze me. Can someone explain what is cool about fucking up your suspension and making your car look broke?
Sorry about the hating, but when I see these VIP threads I try my hardest not to open them, but I just cant haha.

His suspension isn't messed up, it's on bags?

My guess is that you Illinois boys don't care for VIP style! Oh well...try opening a thread with your cars so we can critique you! Rodney has taken his car to the limit and achieved a new standard. Stop hating so much...at least learn be constructive. At least Kro had something nice to say first.

THEY'RE retarted... they must think he rolls around like that, they dont get ur boy rodney got a lil remote and he flicks a switch and can be the highest tl you've ever seen, then be at stock height, than me slammed and then as in the pics show, laying the chassis on the floor

ps. damn rod...I just made the simple calculations on my head of this projects budget... $15k+

I will apologize for being harsh but to me its just silly. I recently came from the corvette forums where you would get laughed at if you tried to make the wheels on your 500+hp Z06 sideways. Just two completely different forums and completely different cars I guess.
Now although VIP'ing lol your TL will never be cool to me I will say I like everything else about the car.
As for critiquing my car there really isnt much to critique. Its just a daily driven stock TL-S.

Actually your right I am retarded I honestly thought he drove around like that. Stupid me! Well since the ride height is adjustable thats a LOT more understandable to me.
Thanks for clearing that up.

Its all personal preferance guys. Id understand where your comming from (^) if I was in a forum with corvette's which had 500+hp and someone VIP'ing that thing out. But these TL's have potential to be VIP styled. I highly respect what extream lengths this rodney guy went too and give him mad probs for it and so should others. Its just a style.

Rodney, you've got alot of haters so I guess your doing it right!

GAT DANG this car is so freaking sick. I love the wheels, I never thought these type of wheels of would so good on the TL.

I think if you got rid of that little line where the Aspec lip use to line up with, it would look money.

anyone who says "if they don't hate, you're doing something wrong" then that means you realize not everyone is gonna like your car, and you don't have any good reason for it other than to try and turn it on them with reverse psychology, using faulty logic. It makes no sense

and no.... I DO like VIP.... to a certain point.

guys with no creative vision ALWAYS talking about what's "practical"
