^^ I agree. There are certain styling cues that I do like from the VIP look, but others I would steer clear of.

Yo man, put my vote in for VIP. It's not for everyone. Heck, it's not MEANT for everyone and that's why it's so cool.

I believe it to be a necessary evil to kinda split hairs here when it comes to distinguishing different "flavors" of VIP.

The extreme widebody kits, HUGE tailpipes, ridiculous rear camber = "hardcore VIP" in my book. That's the easy one.

Where I personally find a gray area is between VIP and EXE, which I consider a subset if VIP itself, using more subtle styling cues, offsets, etc. I believe EXE is the style that many on this thread are saying they prefer, myself included.

I respect it all for what it is, but EXE all day for me.

VERY TRUE!!! I think that it is ridiculous when they have the huge tailpipes that point up and the extreme body kit, but as for the rear camber though...i like it. It looks clean. Although for daily use is deffinately a nono, but for show, as long as you have a air suspension, is acceptable.

Being new to the Lexus scene and every aspect of tuning incorporated with it, I have to say that VIP styling is probably my favorite. Again, as said before, not the random pieces put somewhere just to be a "mod" to the car but a overall well rounded car. I came from the European tuning scene where cleanliness was everything, OEM+ was very popular and thats what I enjoy. I have always had the mentality that "stance" makes a car what it is. And I will conform my GS with that theory as well. For me, I love the tucked look all around and will be going with air suspension on my GS. My old GTI was tucking 19s front and rear and the subframe with 1/2" off the ground on coilovers daily driven. While that car was just a beater to me, I didn't car about scraping and such. I don't ever want to hear that sound in my Lexus, so adjustability is the what I am getting the air suspension for. It will not have rediculously poked wheels with stretched tires because that does not make for a comfortable ride, and there will not be any goofy trim or pieces added for no purpose the car will be "clean" any way you look at it.

That form of VIP tuning I enjoy, there are many others I do not.
