VIP styled played out (update page 6)

IowaSciontist · 09-05-2007, 03:13 PM

I like the VIP look. Love the dished rims, the clean lines, etc. Not all into the curtains, tables, and other stuff tho. And I know it's not just a look, but an attitude, or statement. But I wouldn't do it to my box. It's my daily. I can't imagine how fast tires will wear if you drive on -3 camber all the time. Do you actually drive with the camber like that? Ouch.

i drove daily with -5 for nearly a year

On bags or no? How was the tire wear?

MattyRattyPoo · 09-05-2007, 05:45 PM

Tire wear isnt that bad. I daily my car at -2 in the front and -4 in the rear and air runner.

I was gonna go VIP, then everyone was like you wont be welcome in the VIP community. I dont care about that. I like the style, even if it aint the most expensive parts and stuff. It all about the look for me. Do want you want. ITS YOUR RIDE. Dont let ppl determine how you do your car.

Yes, **** the VIP community, whatver that is - I agree whole heartedly. Who gives a shit what others think? And yes, VIP is all about the look - there's no arguing that.

The tricky thing is, you really can't get "the look" down without custom widths/offsets and coilovers/air. The reality is a lot of folks just want the look, but can't afford it (myself included).

Dudes can try their best with the curtains, tables, badges, leather and whatnot, but skimping on the suspension, the wheels and all the hardships of fitment and body work is really missing the whole point!

I also find it funny that a lot of dudes will pay a good amount of money for a knockoff kit, paint job, curtains, ebay taillights, headlights, etc. then complain about "brand whores" for paying top dollar for wheels just because they are JDM.

Defenitly. I wasnt gonna go full blown, 1. cause I cant afford it. 2. I dont know how to order off of Japanese websites. I just wanted something that looked good, and a little differnt than the other xB's out here. I may not be TRUE VIP, but is would be Closer to VIP than anyone else out here. Thats why when I decided to go the VIP route, I actually called it ON THE GUEST LIST. LOL!!!

It's just popular, so people just make stuff up to "try" and be a style they're not. It's like that Neon with the huge wing on back, now they think they are a race car

. Plus it's on SL that site sucks!!!!

Funny you should say that, I took this picture today on the way to work, I was laughing my as* off

at least you folks across the ocean will stick out with your clean VIP styled rides. over here you just blend in with all the others running VIP Style.

it's the trend or latest auto fashion in hawaii.

that's the problem. you are or you aren't. there is no I'm close to it. winning's winning! I run the kit, rims and suspension. but not the interior. not yet. I don't call my car VIP or bip or bippu. definetely not bippu. the word doesn't fit in stateside. if you're close to VIP, I would say luxury or Euro.

katchkillah · 09-25-2007, 01:09 PM

yup even in maui it is there. this weekend it was a small show of about i would say 70-80 cars/lifted 4x4's/choppers/sport bikes/classics... 8 or so VIP styled rides. so that was a good ratio, especially when had at least a dozen 4x4's.
