Default Photoshoot of my VIP-style (in progess) 91 LS400

Well... a big group of about 17 friends and I decided to visit this ghetto alley along the Downtown Detroit Riverfront (near the Ambassador Bridge) to take some pictures after a local car club BBQ this Saturday. What ended up being are some awesome shots of my car (and others' cars not pictured)...

The car itself is a 91 LS400, lowered on Tanabe springs and Tokico Struts, with 18" SSR A-Dish rims. Excuse my car, it's quite dirty in these pics...

The pics were taken by Grant (G-Love Photography), D. Van, J. Hall, as well as about 2 or 3 other friends of mine, who aren't as "professional":

1.


2.


3.


4.


5.


6.


7.


8.


9.



Enjoy

I know it's not VIP. It's VIP STYLE.

Loving the pics. Car looks to be in excelent condition. Is kinda funny how some of the shots make the LS look like it has 1 big foot(rim). LOL!!!

Before anyone jumps on you and says it. Clean car--YES,,VIP styled---NOT(still needs more work to qualify for that category{bodykit, tires need to be pushed further out, darker tint, *****) but still, a very nice job nonetheless.

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, it's not quite there yet, but for what it is, it's the closest thing to VIP style around here, and it's the only somewhat-VIP-style'd LS400 in the Metro Detroit area.

I am in the market for a Wald Executive kit and some more aggressive Vienna Dish, or Euroline DH's. Too bad both are major $$$.

Yes, it's definitely not low enough, BUT:

The car's my daily driver... I'm going to be driving it like this through the Michigan winter (note: TONS OF SNOW!!!) and the really, really crappy Detroit roads.

All in all, it's not going any lower unless I make it a garage queen and only drive it on special occasions.

Yep, you were the first... though I don't think you car is considered "VIP style" with the SC rims on there right now.

Rims are great, though I found out the hard way that the one bent one had in fact been repaired previously in the same area.

Thanks for all the positive comments by the way.

Constructive criticism is always welcome in my book. Talking smack and judging what's VIP-style and what's not is not welcome in my thread.
