eh. nah.
If you want to attempt on VIP styling the 7G isnt the model you should use. the body is too compact IMO
8G is perfect for VIP "Style"
well be putting a kit that would extend and widen the look. i wish a junction produce kit would fit. if we had diamante that would work a lil better. man but doing vip is gonna be money money. hey jigz wens the nxt meet?
you should vip your evo! 19x11!
That would definitely be something you don't see every day, but it would only be VIP style, not true VIPQuote:

ya
I tried a lot of things and I don't think 7G is the candidate for it. First off the wheel size is very limited due to the very performance-oriented suspension geometry - 225/40/18 at 18x7 +35 is the best of the best you can do
and in VIP world that's hyper narrow and pffffft. Then there is the way the car looks, it's too 90s Camry with smooth flowing line with no "bones" under the skin make it look very "weak" compared to traditional VIP cars with a strong line flowing from headlight to tail light that's very straight and gives out a sense of "strength" and "presence".
the 8G will be very nice for VIP. the 7G wouldn't be. Find me a 7G VIP anywhere online to prove me wrong.
Also FWD VIP is just silly. I have 4WD and I still think it is a silly idea visually. Diamante has the right squarely looks to do the job. If you think of Diamante as a person it's like..... a manager at an office with great hopes and future, the Galant looks like a naughty boy just graduated and looking for a job still thinking "i want a fun job". Still a bit childish and hard to take it seriously.
That said, the V6 models idle smooth and if you got the package with leather the big loveseats in front and big couch aft are very very luxurious feeling, compared to cheaper leather material used in cars today. It just doesn't look the part on the outside.
7G doesn't look like it's seriously quick or luxurious but it is, that's why I love my car.
The style has been used before, I have seen a couple done here.
If you want to do it properly, you'll need to do a wide body kit, pump the guards out about 30mm front and rear, then you can put 235/35/18's if you so wish. There will be a lot, and I mean a lot of modification required.
go look at a 93-97 Camry and tell me again if "VIP" came to your mind.
if you can get that in your mind, then do it.
the 7g body looks like a camry?Quote:

Hmmm.... I dunno bout that
The 8g lines are too sharp for the VIP true look, most VIP cars have the buff round shape to them. I'll admit there are a few really square looking VIP cars, but they don't suit the style as much imo
it can be done.
check out the lines of this and they are similar to a 7g. dont expect it to be cheap though.
these mazdas have a good following in japan. fyi its a 929

eh.. IMO if I had a 7G it would be rocking 16's with some beefy tires with an almost perfect suspension and a 4G63T in it.
hey viptint, nice pics. I can't seem to find good looking vip car pics when I do a search. Fucking baller, those cars have an attitude of their own. Hey tricky, if you guys decide vip start a build thread. Later.
i dig that black & silver 929 VIPTint posted
omg jigz again with his 4g63 talk again.we know you love for the 4g63...jeez..lol jkQuote:

you can try but then it's just not the right platform....
the 929 isn't a fair comparison it isn't a popular VIP platform exactly because it's rounder than a bar of soap. More popular VIP cars are like these:

see the common amongst all these models? Really strong shoulder line that links the front and back as though the car is built with a strong beam under those lines. Very dependable, very strong look.
AND that the car was worth something when new. :smt072
VIPPING a 7G Galant is like VIP'ing a 626. Where there's already a 929 sitting out there (Diamante)......or VIP'ing a ES300 when there is LS400 and IS300...not like you can't do it but the end result will not be as spectacular if the same effort was put into another platform more suited to it.
