If you want to talk about real "bippu". The IS is not a bippu car.

You can do it VIP STYLE.

Sports car? Maybe.

Sorry man but keeping in mind the true definition of VIP, these cars would not be able to hold a candle to the actual VIP cars of today. Now there are ways you could make a IS VIP influenced (wide and low), but I don’t think it will be ever considered as a vip platform.

I personally consider it more of a sports car since it has more of the attributes of that type of car than any other.

I consider it a luxury performance car, and that's how I'm treating it with my mods.

The latest issue of Modified talks about a LUX, which is a hybrid of VIP and I think that is where the IS is right now, especially given the lack of true "go fast" mods for it.

it really depends what kind of mods you added to your IS... I would prefer sporty look rather than VIPs since IS would be too small for the VIP look...

VIP is a theme right? So yes they can go both ways.. To me, you can make any car look VIP, I have seen Audis made to look like VIP cars and they look cool, the euro crowd does not like it, but hey I like all kinds of music
