I wouldn't say it qualifies as "VIP style," but the
car looks good nevertheless.

Different wheels with more aggressive offsets
would help push the car in that direction.

Congratulations on the ink!

Don't see anything VIP style yet besides the air suspension. Hope to see it become VIP someday.

i have no idea how much it weights lol
and its 35% on the windshield 5% limo tint all the way around
its probably cause my cars black ? i dunno

driving it at night isnt a big problem I think the factory HIDS on the car help
out a lot lol. The cops havent really messed with me for the tints
im guessing since its Nevada they dont really trip out to much

I just sat and read most things that are said about doing the ViP style
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ght=definition
clean lines, lowered stance, nice system , wide wheels with fat lips
Dark tints, black paint

I know its not all the way there but i've only had the car for a little over a year
from this

to its current standing

I know everything takes time and i will eventually get to the point that
I want it to be

good work thus far with the car. nice layout on the mag too. keep up the work. I have thought about going the vip route but have decided to create my own unique look. you are right true vip isn't cheap to duplicate. so i've adopted some aspects of various stylings for my car. at the end of the day it is your car so do what you want. I like the way you've chosen to mod your ride.

I would have to agree with some of the members here, not VIP, but still looks nice. However, 9.2" headrest it's not an SUV. I got 8" and even I think those look a little big. I seen how 9" look on our cars and it's not pretty

I guess you forgot to read this part:

• Large/wide multi-piece wheels (with large lips and low offsets) that are flush to the fender • Stretched tires in order to tuck the wheels under the fenders •

Customizing a VIP styled car is no joke and takes serious effort. A lot of thought is taken when picking out parts and serious measurements are taken to insure that everything comes out perfect.

VIPstyle is not just about a black car with some wheels and a bodykit.
