However, this is not the truth. There are still nice Lexus' and Infinitis that people modify that go for 12k and up. Not only that, people are modifying the NEW chassis that come out every year. The wheels on the car that are USED are usually cheap, heavy, and really big. The new shit however, is ballin'. Sets of wheels go for upwards of 5k. The suspension is NO JOKE. To go that low is fuckin MONEY, those guys use universal airbag systems that cost about $4,000. They use adjustable suspension arms just like we do. Not to mention they use relatively large tires (19s, 20s) and stretch them while running crazy camber angles -6* or so (imagine the uneven wear on that). But none of that stuff compares to the amount of man hours they put into the custom chassis/body work they do to fit ridiculously wide wheels with ungodly negative offsets. Radiused fenders, crazy fender pulls, widebodies, etc. It's nothing that you haven't seen on this board, but they actually use real paint. I think that VIP style is cool if you want a cruisin' car, but don't want to buy American. I have an appreciation for the amount of work that is done, and for the techniques they use, that spread over to us.

That's exactly what it is and what you can't see through cause you're too worried about "being in". You said it yourself, it's a fucking style. It's the latest trend in America. You want to know the greatest thing about it though? The JDM trend is hitting America so hard that it's bouncing back to Japan; they have ads in Drift Tengoku for fake JDM plates.
An ad in a Japanese magazine selling something that comes with the fuckin registration. I honestly need to stop trying to make sense to a brick wall..... |

With your philosophy, if I say, "I hate the rims on your car." I'm right. Anyways, there should be pics posted in this thread. Not endless bantering.

why is it that some people think zilvia is a soapbox from which they can spread their worthless opinions?
it's a forum. be helpful of stfu. i'd consider the IG supermade to be vip inspired. others may not. just my opinion. |

Not crazy about the botton S13, but the S14's look great. That white one is just 'tarded fresh.

This thread is gayer than AIDs.
All you douches that hate VIP, shut the hell up you're just jealous you can't afford to be that baller. BustedS13, sorry, you don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about. Wheels, rope and a gay shifter? What the fuck? Obviously you need to study up a little more, before you go spitting the bile out of your mouth. Talk to me when you have shit THIS sick. When you have wheels that deep, fitments that great, aero that aggressive and paint that nice. Those that hate the Supermade shit just because it's not the typical flared out JDM tight Uras kit, you're lame. Supermade is fresh, clean, sleek, baller, DIFFERENT (which everyone's fucking afraid of). You're probably the same idiots who think Hara's new s14 is "gay" because it has 20" rims and non-agressive aero. Do you know how sick that is? 20" on a 240!? FORMULA D (where most cars are running on 15" wheels and stock ride height)!? Fuck! Zilvia has more gays than Fire Island. And since this thread is a fucking PIC REQUEST: My VIP wheels on a very-non-vip car. Why is every single thread covered in this rotting crud crap reply system of shit talking and argument? There are certain members and mentalities on this forum that are a DISEASE, you infest with your insolent whining and complaining of everything and anything that doesn't fit your mindset. You people are as bad as the morons that are admin-wannabees. Shut your god damn mouths. Blah blah blah. ibtl. |

The Q45. It encapsulates VIP style. Sure it's not complete but whatever, that's the only picture of it I have.
Yes Herb's cars are cool. Wish I actually saw one of them driving though, but whatever that's an addiction I have. Seeing pretty cars explode. |

No doubt that Q45 will be the TITS when it is done... I mean, I can fit my whole freaking head inside the dish of those rear wheels. I dont care what anyone says, that is sick.

Damn. Hadn't seen your car with the new wheels... Looks amazing. Period. Here's a quick one of my car, and before it's said, I'm not claiming it to be a VIP car, but it has a few VIP influences, hopefully more when my bank account is back where it should be...

OH and to comment on this thread
You can't have a "VIP" S chassis VIP is big body cars on airbags in a nutshell...clean interior, clean exterior, flawless execution of an over the top style nothing less That's like saying just beacuse you put a racing stripe on a school bus, it now looks like a race car
