That S6 has too much wheel gap to be considered VIP

I like some of the VIP style cars, but that one looks like total crap.

Nahhhh. It's just different. I think the M45/Gloria that is slammmed to the ground is a bit of
This is not. The wheels are a little big for my taste, but it doesn't look bad.

Some Fuga Love.. (um, M35/45)
More to look at...
For me, no stickers, and the wheels are about as big as I would like. No toe/camber that looks stupid. This is alright, IMHO.....

^ That would look much better with some other gunmetal or black rims. I really don't like those kinda bling bling rims. Cheapens the look of the car.

Celsior love

A Celsior that is about MY 2000 - 2002 is reasonable in price. I suggest finding someone that can go to an auto auction. Maybe a really good car dealer that people you know go to. This does not mean the local Toyota dealer, as they will jack the price up.
As someone else suggested, the Nissan Gloria can be had for low $$$, and you can use the money saved to do what you like.

I'd rock that Soarer and the LS even. I don't think I could stand an LS460 otherwise. And that grill (aside from that cheap chrome strip and likewise wheels) makes the M35/45 look 10x better

The VIP look to me is just a modern import interpretation of the evergreen "Lowrider".
No-one has ever expected low-riders to lap the Nurburgring in under 8 minutes, and no-one should expect a VIP car to do so either.
Its a stylistically dramatic look that appeals to a distinct audience. I can appreciate it at arm's length, although I'd never spend the money to do it to my cars.
That being said, anyone who thinks the VIP treatment transforms their car some invincible slalom warrior is a certified dipshit douchebag. Slammed and rubbin' does not a good handling car make.
Oh yeah, one more thing: I completely agree with whoever said it in a previous post; they're way better than those ridiculous-ass donks.

Some love...For some
Here's another LS460 shot....
For me, make the rims about 1 or 2 inches smaller, and no camber tricks and I think it looks
Some Nissan Cima fun (Q45 for you US folks)
Previous Gen Cima
Now to tickle the Acura crowd... TSX VIP?
Audi...My second VIP attempt:
I almost forgot America's contribution....Overly done, of course...
300C
If anyone is looking for a specific Japanese car done like this, let me know and I'll dig it up (maybe)......

stop arguing, its not worth showing the members on here another style of car tuning. they are all use to their extremely high offsets and wide tires and monster truck car heights...
trust me, its not worth your trouble.

VIP style has to be for SHOW only as I can't see these cars being safe to drive as a daily driver. The negative camber, and rims wider than the tire look doesn't do anything for me. I guess they are all bagged and don't drive that way, but it's just a bit much for me.
Props to all the money and hardwork dedicated to the style. I'm more of a lightweight rim, decently tuned suspension, sticky tire kind of guy.

I actually kinda like VIP cars, just not too extreme ones, like that Vigor I posted in another page. But like the other guy said, don't bother.... posting more and more pics of VIP cars won't make people like them any better. I like the fact that you're posting pics, but to each his own
