i have a few customers came in with brand new cars and then we take it apart to do alot of stuff. i think the lowest miles record is 22miles on the odo and the dealer window sticker still intact.

it is custom ordered, because i ordered them. at ride height there is about 6mm to the inner fender. i could order something even more aggressive like a 10.5" and roll the fenders. but i don't really want to do it on a new 400 mile car where she didn't even fill her first tank of gas.
I really appreciate all the compliments and other feedback. i never expected this much response for the car. Thanks CK6speed and llamaboiz for answering a bunch of those questions from people.
everything comes with the AirRunner kit, so it's cool cause you don't need to buy anything separate. the digital gauge is an upgrade from the normal kit, also made by AirRunner.
For those that are curious, the whole kit starts at around $4500. If you upgrade the gauges, lines, air tank, etc, you can easily rack up your bill to close to $7000. According to the AirRunner site, there are only about 7 authorized dealers in the US. My gf was lucky that REV-01 is the only dealer in Hawaii.
You'd be amazed at how well the ride is. Most people think of air as being squishy-feeling or bouncing all over the place. It actually feels pretty close to coilovers, especially if you ride at a reasonable height.
I haven't included any more interior pics cause no other upgrades were made other than the custom mounting of switches and the gauge which were done by REV-01. Seats and everything is all stock. I just put that interior pic in so everyone could see how much stuff had to get pulled out in order to install all the lines and stuff.
Maybe try to repost this thread in the VIP sub forum and see what happens?

That is the thing. Everyone has an interpretation, but the guys from Junction Produce who came from Japan liked it. Sure, there are some things they would do different as always like use all JP products
, but over all they were very impressed with all the Revision Audio built cars. Check out the President of Japan JP's personal blog. Lots of good things to say about the Revision built cars also with his own things he would have done different. It is NOT a VIP car, but definitely VIP Style. My personal opinion is if the so called founder's of VIP says its all in the right direction, it is in the right direction. This car is not on his blog because it doesn't have enough JP products on it, but he did mention that the person who built these cars has really studied Japan VIP. This is out of the President of Junction Produce mouth. Too me, that says a heck of a lot.
While I think Junction Produce is expensive has heck, the one thing I noticed about them these last few shows is that they are very willing to mingle with the crowed, talk to the competitors, and give advice. I think that builds up good customer relationship.

I'm not trying to start an arguement so please dont take this as an offesnive statement... think of it as jsut a discussion. With that said...
You said it yourself "but he did mention that the person who built these cars has really studied Japan VIP." It doens't seem like he specifically mentioned the IS as being VIP styled.
Post it on vipstylecars.com... I think the consensus will be that is a very nice car, but it is not VIP styled. The key elements to VIP style is stance and fitment. Everything else is secondary. It doesn't seem like the wheel fitment is all that aggressive.
