i don't see the relationship at all? let's not talk about mods, let's talk about just buying cars.

you want luxury and quality, you look at lexus. you will bargain for a good price on *lexus*, but you will not ask where you can find a lexus for the price of a corolla.

see the difference? at least me, i am willing to pay, and i have a good idea about what ball park i have to pay. but that doesn't mean i will pay whatever

Amen to that! Even if you want the best things in the world, you don't have to be a sucker to get it.

VIP style or lifestyle from my understanding..

Modifying your car to represent a luxury and executive lifestyle. Whether you want it cheap or expensive, stock height or rubbing the ground as long as it forms around that it should be by nature of that purpose.

Everybody else telling you what things to buy or how to modify your car to become VIP is just making money off of you or buying into the same ol marketing scheme setup by companies and individuals alike.

Sorry Memoryfab, but I'm not exactly comprehending what you are trying to say.

Are you trying to say that, it doesn't matter what kind of parts goes on the car. Just as long as it's done for the purpose of that nature? The nature of a luxurious executive lifestyle?

I'm sorry, I even lost myself there . Can you just elaborate please?

VIP Style is more a culture more than a style. What makes a VIP Car is the car itself. Using Aristos, Celsiors, Majestas, Crowns, Presidents, Cimas, Centurys, and other high end Japanese car is usually what makes it VIP. Not really how you fix it up. If you ask different companies what VIP is, you will get different answer. Junction Produce will have a different idea of what VIP Style is rather another VIP Style company. Junction Produce would think a VIP Style car is one that a Yakuza member drives.

VIP Style has been around for years in Japan. To say they are copying what rappers or pimps do is pretty much saying that we should give those sideshow guys credit for drifting... Its apples and oranges. Its sick that those guys in the 70s fixed up their caddys and all, but VIP Style isn't about showing their bling, just about showing rebellious spirit. The DUB movement here is different than what the VIP Style is. Junction Produce has been open for more than a few years now, and they were in the forefront of VIP Style movement.

here is the Junction Produce USA Demo Car

another site that was recently made for the VIP Style is www.vipstylecars.com . Check out the forums to see discussions about what VIP Style is..."

Does somebody here know of a website or gallery that has different Yakuza member's car?

Seriously though, VIP Style will never be understood by the masses. Not only does the acronym "VIP" has it's own meaning here in the US when it come cars, but it's also a lifestyle from another culture that is far different than our western cultures. And that my friends are the apples and oranges of it
