I don't know if that can be considered to be VIP, but i like how it looks! A lot. I don't think is VIP though.

It can be vip inspired sports sedan, but never VIP. VIP starts with the platforms and as far as Lexus is concerned, only the Celsior/ LS and Aristo/GS are true VIP.

You can do it VIP STYLE.

Sports car? Maybe.
Agree with Pocky!
2IS, its size is belong to compact size vehicles (rental car standard), and this car will never qualify as a true bippu regardless. Any car can dress vip items but may not qualify as a bippu ride. My opinion only...

Looking good Doug. I had a chance to take a close look at this car at HIN and the Cruise meet. This car is HAWT.

It's certainly an awesome looking 2nd gen IS but it isn't anywhere near 'purist' VIP styled (neither is my GS BTW even though I have some traditionally VIP-mfgr items on it).

Stance
Wheel Fittment
Ride Height

among many other things contribute to a VIP or VIP-styled car. Your IS350 is sport / performance styled, not VIP.

FYI CL member 'Solo' has the closest thing IMO to a VIP Styled 1st gen IS.
