Looks really good. I like to see people try something different. As far as fitiment, you cant get any more FLUSH than what you have there IMO. It looks good and is still practical on a daily driver. Somehow, "FLUSH" has now evolved to this trend:
Like you, I'm not found of spacers. If you lower it any more, you will lose your "flush" status but getting your camber set back to spec, should get you back to "flush".

thats where I dissagree.... first of all, all i have done so far are the wheels and coilovers, so the car is not nearly done, although i will keep it simple. Just because I dont have the "typical" VIP style wheels with huge lips and a super low offset with lots of camber, doesnt mean the car isnt a VIP styled car. The pictures probably dont due it justice, the car has a sexy stance and definatly has a VIP style, just not typical of most. Thats all I will say....

look dude, im not saying your car looks bad, I love the look your rocking. but that fact that you think vipstyle is all about these things:
[QUOTE=VIP92Ls400;4746831]"typical" VIP style wheels with huge lips and a super low offset with lots of camber, doesnt mean the car isnt a VIP styled car. QUOTE]
...shows your inexperience with the style. I appreciate that your trying to break from the mold, but vip is all about stance and fitment with luxury styling being the icing on top... and big 5 spoke sporty wheels with non agressive/sunken fitment and no other mods dont really fit the bill brotha.
Once again, not trying to be insulting, but you should check out vipstylecars.com and introduce yourself, stick around, and read up.

i'm rollin with the mob on this one.
a car does not have to have certain size wheels or be a certain height to be grouped in the vast realm which is vip imo.
what is does have to do is convey a certain look of ballerishness (yeah, i made that up) and be within the guidelines of the style.
what you have is a platform car cheaply dropped on cheap wheels (that are flush at current height imo btw). i'm not knockin it, it's clean enough, but let's call it what it is.
point is: you can't shape some ground chuck like a t-bone, call it a steak, and say "i'm just doin it a little different". just be happy with hamburgers.

I smell haters!! Its all good though, like i said, everyone has their own opinions. The fact is, the car looks and rides great, and definatly emits a VIP ora. I have been following the scene and "trends" for quite some time now. I could have chosen many different wheels, including the typical choices, but these came along and they were for me, money was not an issue. I have just begun the transformation of my ls400 and i will keep you updated on the progress. All i know is, I get lots of love wherever I go!!!
