I thinking we're forgetting whats on the inside that counts.
I wouldn't be suprised that car has a small block with a shot of nos that would beat us in a 1/4 mile.

 

If you "bullet holes" in your car, shouldn't the shadow be on the top, since the metal goes in when the bullet hits.

 

good thing fdor that large exhaust though, or else his bumper might fall off...

 

 

oh boy....

 

^^^ Alright, I have to argue against this xA being rice since its a super well done JDM VIP xA. You might not like it personally but that car is done almost perfectly as a VIP iST replica....

 

^^ man thats vip not rice

 

yeah i think its well done its just that im not very fan of VIP
and VIP style is rice in japan
only those Yankii bad boys follow that style

 

Yeah....I don't like that front bumper, but that iSt is clean man.

 

i mean yea it is VIP but i dont like it at all

i wouldnt even drive that ist
its so lame

 

oh i agree i dont like vip either not my style never knew it was rice in japan though thats too funny because off all of the people over here tring to go vip

 

I like that xA over there. The wing seems to be a bit too large, but everything else looks pretty nice.

 

This is probably just cos I'm too f-ing white, but wtf is VIP

 

From Rides:
VIP, pronounced “vip” is more complicated than just being a Mafioso-influenced car culture, however. “Simply put, it’s an expensive, luxurious style fused with a mysterious Yakuza [mob] element, exuding strength and fear,” cryptically explains Hiroshi Yoshikawa from VIP tuner Rando. So, are they really the rides of the notorious Japanese organized crime syndicate, or do the hoods just play a part in the trendsetting? “[VIP] is totally different from Yakuza culture,” responds famous VIP aftermarket company Junction Produce’s president Takahiro Takatomi. “Granted, some of the Yakuza like VIP-style cars. That is why many people think VIP equals Yakuza.” The vague answers about the real connection between the Yakz and VIP seem to only add to the mystique that makes VIP’s aura so tough and even criminal. “In Japan, the ‘VIP style’ has a bit of a negative connotation for the general public,” says Nobuhiro Hashiba, the International Manager of AME, a popular VIP wheel company. “It’s got sort of a bad-boy image.”

 

So its a mind-bendingly situational and meaningless buzzword.

 

VIP Style or VIP car is very simple. Pronounced VIP or bippu not vee-eye-pee, like how we are used to saying it, but it is pronounced like a word. In Japan there is a large variety of luxury sedans available to purchase. VIP car starts with just that, the platform or the car. Its not a VIP Car unless it starts with one of these cars. From Toyota, you have the Century, Celsior, Aristo, Crown, and Majesta. From Nissan you have the President, Cima, Gloria, Cedric, and the Q45. Then they take these platforms and merge on a massive bodykit, larger rims that push the boundaries of offset fitment, an air suspension so that they can drive as low as they possibly can, and we can't forget about the exhausts that goes on these VIP Cars.

However the view of VIP Car or VIP Style Cars is being EXTREMELY skewed in the US and leaves the hardcore VIP Car enthusiast with a sour taste in its mouth. VIP Car starts with the platform first. 350Zs, G35s, Scions, Accords, and other cars are defining the VIP Style Car…

 

Blah! Accords, G35's, and such do NOT belong in the same class as a Gloria or a Mejesta.. Ack! That's just... wrong..

 

although MOMO is based in Italy and is more focused on the European cars they still are used on Japanese imports. For instance Subaru used a MOMO steering wheel for the WRX's. that's not a European car so why does it have MOMO stock? MOMO can be used on a Japanese car too and not be ricey

 

Enjoy

 

ok...is that a prelude or an ES 300, I'm a moron and I can't tell the diff between a Lexus and a honda. the L logo isn't nearly as annoying as the car that its on
