Default Should i bippu my SC300?

I've been looking at this picture of a soarer for like 4 days now


Since i don't like to drive too fast (because of chicago police), a VIP option for my SC3 isn't a bad idea is it? feed back would be appreciated. If i do start it off on the bippu path the first thing is rims so feel free to throw in a pic or 2

You gotta have rims + drop first...at least...stance is everything in a VIP "styled" ride...go air suspension off the bat if you can...

End of the day, it's all about what you like...do what you can...

Well said, i was thinking of going VIP look on my Acura few years ago. I had everything, Evolution body kit, brand new set of wheels. Almost everything but air suspension, i backed out because i couldn't afford the air. I was already lowered on eibach/koni but we all know thats nothing if you want to be in the VIP class. So i sold everything lol.

GO FOR IT!! Im also looking into going taking the Bippu-Style route for my SC since Im pretty much tired of getting pulled over by police. I want to get air suspension so I can slam it to the floor. I want to get some wide wheels with a rediculous offset so I can stretch a wide tire on it and a full 97 body. Do keep us informed of your project updates. You will be one of the few Bippu Styled SCs out there. Good luck!

I'm going for EXE with mine. Not so much full sick wheel fitment and air sussy, more like the Wald style cars (or the AC Soarer). Remember that these cars were sold onto the market as a luxury sports coupe; I reckon a lot of the VIP guys might get all shirty about a 2 door car with VIP styling cues but do what you want, it's your ride!

I am

Ohhh. Those look like the HREs they have out for the Mercedes. Nice wheel. I bet it would look alot nicer with a fat lip.

There are 3 wheels that look simiar... to my knowledge:

Work Euroline DH
SSR A-Dish
Amistad Grace

They're all very popular among VIP LS/GS/Q guys.

Yeah there is a diffrence until he shows up to VIP meet then they dont care about his car. Get a real VIPcar since you havent started on it yet.
