Default Toyota Previa Van..

Looking to get a used Toyota Previa van and doing a VIP style thing to it. Nothing to gawdy like a 5 feet long front bumper with 10 feet long rear bumper.

anybody know of a good site that does VIP Van tuning?

Make sure you buy the supercharged one I think it was made in the later years.....Is this what you want to do:

Come on....you've got to be joking me. VIP on an LS is one thing, but what is so VIP about a minivan?

I M O that is hideous.

Unfortunately not everybody shares your enthusiasm and not everybody likes what you like. I so happen to like how the van looks.

I thought this one looked pretty good!

Pagong, To get the right look you HAVE to start with coilovers to get the right stance........Did you ever think of doing a RX 300? I will be start a RX for my wife early next year.

I cannot afford an RX300 so the used Previa will do. And having a 7 passenger van is very appealing to me since I have a family to haul.

As soon as i can get a good price on my 92 Civic sedan, I am going to pick up a Previa. I will probably end up fixing up the van first rather than my LS. But both will be done, time and money will tell.

I'm with Pagong. If you haven't seen some of the K-Cars (VIP vans) they have in Japan, then you definitely should look more into it. I've seen a couple VIP style Previas in LA and they looked pretty clean and tastefully done.

Like I said before try to get the super-charged version ..............I have seen a few on the road but I don't know how much more they cost than the regular versions (you will need the extra power for hauling people)
