wow. i only like MAYBE 2 pics. not a fan at all.
i guess its not my taste.
nice. wow some of those have super negative camber :O whoa
i think VIP is the tackiest shit ever
I'm liking the last two, the others are a little too over the top for my taste.
i love VIP.next project i want to do.
VIP style is the shizer. i would make a vip drifter. hehe
the first one is tits. the rest is bleh.
vip if sone right can look really good. how the hell did that guy get that car there with that camber though in that one pic? that looks rediculous
all about the bags...one push of a button and the shit is driveable

people dont appreciate quality work man. As if everything just had to be Voltex, HKS, or anything 500+HP. It ain't all just about the Tunner scene ya know.
IMO a JDM Toyota Crown or Nissan Cedric/Gloria looks WAY sicker than any of the little tuner cars we floric with. VIP is more for "made men" or grown folks rather just young street racers. I'd rather pick my date up in a dope Q45 rather than a full racing 240sx reaking of burnt rubber and C16.
VIP is the ultimate shit imo. And some of the pictures posted(the first 2) by the OP are not even really VIP to begin with. i respect VIP. Real VIP.
This is Real VIP...

It's a matter of taste and personal opinion and everybody has one. You like it, I'm not going bag on you about it, but in my opinion, bagged or not, having your wheels look like you have broken axles or extreme camber, is ridiculous. It doesn't look tight, sick, bomb, fresh, dope, sweet or any other adjective.Quote:

If they get pissed, thats their problem. I never said there's anything wrongwith 'hooking up' galants. Lord knows i work on mine, and its definitely Tuner-inspired because i love most of the tuner scene to death. But i can appreciate other approaches as well. And I do agree that some of those picture with the extreme negative camber while parked looks too much. But some folks take it more of an extreme than others. Kind of like when some people put an INSANELY huge and low Voltex front bumper/splitter on their Evo's and drive them on the street like that.Quote:

Well, see, had you made your comment as it sits, now, as opposed to when I seen it and before you edited it... I wouldn't have said shit. It makes more sense now. Most of us, especially us OG's, now what VIP is. However, I still stand to say that wheels canked at any angle other than 0 degrees is ugly and ain't VIP in my book. VIP just means a clean looking lowered car devoid of stickers and excess spoilers and are usually high-end cars like Mercedes, Lexus, etc. You can get the VIP look with less expensive cars, but quite honestly, VIP is a term used for high-end cars.
Ok, i see now. The VIP you may be thinking about is not the same VIP i'm talking about.Quote:

And technically, no German cars are considered to be true "VIP/Bippu" (no Benz, Bimmer, etc), only Japanese brands. Its very specific. i dont make the rules, haha.
My bad. I was thinking of something else.Quote:

most people on this forum want their car to be as stock as possible while looking different. so its understandable why they wouldnt appreciate a vip car
i love that cressida in the first pic
I like the last 3. they look vip to me even if a guy doesnt know what vip is, it looks vip ish.
looks good 2 me 8)
i own a couple VIP cars, and to me its just the next step. most guys here p[robably came from a 2dr first. fixed it up now went to a 4dr, fixed it up. next step is a luxury 4dr, fix that up. then go to where the big dogs are... european supercars. but that step is far far away.
i really could care less about how VIP is supposed to be. i can appreciate a persons vision in a car, and clean work. i can even appreciate not so clean work if it was DIY. im all about anti-stock, whichever direction you choose to go with it.
my dream is not to have a lambo in the garage, but a car from every genre. even a full coversion riced out integra. its like a part of life and you can keep a piece of it. i keep my galant to remember my college years and how i never got a DUI in that thing,
VIP is like the highest level of car modifying in the japanese car industry. you mix everything together including low, show, and go. most of these things are fast as hell plus they look good and are slammed to the ground. it takes a lot of work to build one of these not just mix up parts you think will work
hit the nail right on the head.Quote:
