If you can live with a great looking car that some will hate on you for, go for it! I bet it will look great.

VIP STYLE characteristics again from wikipedia (anyone have something to add?)

- large diameter rims (usually broad faced designs) with low offsets that sit flush with the fender

- exhausts that stick out past the rear bumper (although not so much emphasized these days)

- a full bodykit or lip kit

- glossy paint

- lowered ride height (usually with air ride or coilovers)

- It is not uncommon to see extreme negative camber on many vip (style) cars.

- Traditional colors of VIP Style cars are usually black, white, grey and silver.

Yes, you can do all that and more with an SC and it will look killer!

If people are "VIP" styling fricken vans these days, then SC's can do it too! I guess it was originally "VIP" because the "Very Important Person" would have their driver open the back door for them to exit the vehicle. Us SC guys would rather just drive ourselves!

True, i just want the VIP style look, not to consider myself a VIP purist.

The rims I already descided on (Shallen WX, if someone could photoshop them on a platinum SC before i buy them that'd be great ^_^ ) And the exhaust I'm gonna custom fit the tips to the bodykit that i get so they look flush with the body.

All and all I'm just going for the Style not to be called a VIP SC. Besides, i wanna see how it'll turn out on a platinum SC. Oh and i wanna see how hoebag's car'll look too. ^_^

emo looks sick! I miss ST115.

Hoebag's is going to be really nice. There is no question SC's are nice cars, but they will never be a VIPcar. If you don't care than put some VIPstyle in and enjoy. I have fun with mine and learned a lot.

Now I'm selling to start a 4 door platform. My Weds are sold and shipping out today.

Hoebag that's gonna be ridiculously hot when those wheels get mounted!!! About the most extreme I've seen without wide fenders.

Awesome job!
