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.

As far as traditional VIP goes, the IS is way too small to truly fit the bill but, it certainly is possible to add some VIP styling cues. As far as my car goes I've done a somewhat VIP/Sport hybrid which I think works very well in blending the lux/sports characteristics of the car.

Bippu is the actual way VIP is pronounced in Japan if I'm not mistaken.

Don't be fooled by the uninformed voting polls.
That car is nowhere near VIPstyled. It is race style, I see the race style rim fitment, the aggressive body kit, and the moderate stance. No VIPstyling traits period.
Not saying it's not a nice car but I'm just following the topic of this thread.

I can tell from the side shot that the rim fitment isn't even close and the height is too typical.
Aren't there articles on how to properly vip style your car????
Way too much bad information going around. You guys want to Vipstyle your ride, please do it right or don't say it is VIPstyled. I hope that made a little bit of sense.
