I said Audi because I like them.

That's why I said I would rather have an Audi.

Its too difficult to integrate in any sort of normal life, otherwise its fantastic. I pulled the plug all together because it made it difficult to get things done, and I found I was not doing things I wanted to do because they would fall in between a scheduled nap. The idea was to gain more "life" not lose what I already have.

OK, now I understand where VIP style comes from. I can appreciate these cars a little better, especially the wheel choice. Still not my style, but it's interesting to learn about this stuff.

Eh nice chromes but I don't lowering your cars how the hell can you get past a speed bump. Plus if it rains hard enough and snows a little bit these cars will not be able to operate. Sorry I also thought this stuff was more ghetto than VIP.

meh, does nothing for me....whatever floats your boat.

Some people like VIP style...others like to put vtec stickers all over their cars.

There's something for everyone I guess.

This is the car I would give a mild VIP treatment to (just bigger wheels and lowered a little. No goofy camber or toe in tricks. That's :ghey: )




I like this style for VIP. This is the MY 2007 Crown...

Is the crown supposed to be the GS? If so, it looks way better than the US version

Over here, the Crown was the "sporty" big car and the Celsior (previous gen LS430) was the top dog Toyota. Now, the Toyota dealers have the Crown in three variants (Crown, Crown Majesta, and Crown Athlete). They actually have slightly different front and rear clips to distinguish them. With Lexus dealers here, the cars that Toyota used to sell that are the same as Lexus aren't made anymore.

Basically, I think the Crown would outsell the GS series, as it is a lot better in the sporty department. Plus I think it looks better. But can't upset the mother Toyota cash cow (Lexus).

Crown Majesta



I think its a good candidate for VIP.......

I love the Crown. My fav is late 90's Crown Athlete. Sick lines. Right now i am set on the Nissian Cedric/Gloria. (M45 USDM). That car has the best bodylines.

CEDRIC........

heh my buddy has a slammed boxy-gen Cressida.... custom GC coilover kit, strut housing chopped in half and rewelded together, lowered 4 inches (!), welded diff, 5-speed conversion, HIDs, but he's a drifter and not a VIP guy.... still looks crazy. IMO old-school Toyotas rule the VIP scene.













I could never do this to a car myself unless I was a real baller, so I'd do it for the hell of it..... cooler than a lowrider IMO but I'd probably have one of those too. I like VIP as long as it isn't ultra-crazy like that Mazda. The last car up there is a 1G RL btw.

It's definitely not for everyone but there are plenty of people who think all imports/Hondas are rice, etc.





^^sometimes VIP is a little out of control though

i don't mind the VIP look...since i gotta see it everyday in traffic. Japanese auto culture in general is a hard pill to swallow for american car enthusiasts. they do things their own way, i may not do it to my car but i appreciate the work and money they put down.
