to help you with your decision i have a few questions my friend

-is this car your daily driver
-wats your budget like
-wat kind of driving style do you have
-do you have other vehicles
-how knowledgeable are you as far is FI goes

In my opinion VIP look would be more suitable as a DD, as having a boosted car can cause a lot of problems sometimes and if its your only car it sucks when its out of commission. However Boost is by far the most addicting thing i have ever experienced.

if you got the money SPEND IT ALL ON THE SC and make it look hot and push about 500whp.

but thats just me

I noticed a bunch of people mentioning dropping 1jzs. Is there any advantage of a 1jz over a 2jz other than price?

I'm going for something to satisfy both, but not their extremes (i.e. not too cambered, not pushing too much power).. I'm going something that will suit what I want (basically a Soarer dropped with nice aero and wheels with a bit of stick).

VIP styled yes, but it doesn't really qualify to be VIP to traditional standards.

I would definitely call it clean. Sleeper is my vote.

This would be a discussion for our VIP Style forum:

Its hard to run clean/vip around here(NY) ill loose half my car in a manhole if not a pothole. IMO a cross between the 2.Power to back up the looks.
