Some sick cars!

it obviously has to be done right in order to pull off the whole VIP look and feel.

My knowledge in VIP cars is lacking, Can you tell me why the rear wheels tuck like that?

The big bodied cars can pull it off and look good but the GS just isn't big enough IMO. That red LS looks awesome!

The president isn't available here but it appears to be an older body Q45

Yes, president was never brought over here. You can however do a "president conversion" with the first gen Q45 (G50).

Good thread! I've always loved the VIP look as long as it is done tastefully.

Does this qualify as VIP?

I dont know if most ppl know this, but traditional VIP'ers say that only certain platforms are TRUE VIP. For example; rear wheel drive Japanese luxury platforms like the Cima, Celisor, Cedric, Crown. There are other cars that have the "VIP" look, but not considered true VIP by purists.

You don't need to be bagged, but you cannot actually drive like that. There is usually a different ride height when driving, and when parked. I shot a bagged a3/rabbit last weekend. They couldn't even turn their wheels when they brought the car down. lol

It has the VIP look, but not true VIP. I would consider it as "VIP-inspired."

but who exactly chose the cars? is there a list?

Damn..... I've recently had a thing for those GS's too. So slick. That Q45 looks nice too. I'm not heavy into the VIP scene, but some cars look really good, these two in particular.
