What "game" you talking about?

Is the car unique? Sure no doubt about it...

but I for one am not feeling the ghey VIP look, never liked it and never will - those ridiculous camber settings and stance is just dumb but hey I may be getting too old for this....haha

However what I do like is the sideskirts and rear diffuser/exhaust setup. The front grill is not so great but if he put on some normal wheels/tires and fix a few things this car does have potential.

On the other hand I love how VIP it is. The clean roof/trunk, grill, and front bumper work well for VIP styling.
multi-tone is unique man... Showup Paint by Maziora; u have to see it in person the pearl is subtle... when the light hits it right u see the purple pearl and green pearl...same as the GT300 IS350

I think its one of the most highly modded IS's here, no doubt. Everything is done to it, other then boost.

I guess the people who said its the 'best on the forum' are of the mindset that "the more mods you do, the more 'best' you are". Even though they don't flow quite well, or completely alter the car, taken by the comments of 'idenity crisis' others have said.

I guess I just don't get it. And I guess by now you can see I don't feel this is the "best on the forum", for reason others have mentioned.

I'll say its cool and way different, but I would never do this to my car.

I guess thats what makes us all different an unique though.
dang bro u got a lot to say; not taking shots but i see everyone tryin to do VIP style but they always come short.. my car has gone through 3 different stages with 3 differ kits and rims.. the guys on the forum have seen my past setups... i just wanted to be the 1ST to go all out on VIP... no cutting corners... thus my build isnt confused.. everything is JDM to the paint to rims to suspension, etc.. i could have slapped a vertex kit and knock off rims like everyone else on the forum but i chose to stick with the JDM VIP theme... not tryin to take shots at u man.. but this was a pure show car build.. i think if i had an Autofashion or Platinum VIP sticker some of u guys would talk different.. but to his is own... this car is getting parted out by the end of summer so.. hate it now and love it later..

If you went for VIP - you nailed it.

While its not my thing, your car is the most unique.

EDIT: I guess what people are confused about is that the ISx50 isn't a VIP car by nature. Its a sports sedan... if you wanted TRUE VIP, should of gone with a GS350 or LS. It just looks awkward.

Well the IS250/350 are more like... entry level sedans. A IS-F is a sport sedan. haha

Haha Jonjon, if you have a 5 hater's on you right now, you better think of how to get 10 more people hating by the end of summer.
