Default Thinking about going VIP...

Got a new gig in Orlando, park next to Bentleys and G-wagens at the firm. I love my box's look but now it's starting to look a bit speed racer-ish to me.

Thinking about a mild VIP look- cambered 18's (504's possibly), different lights and tails, chrome door handles and window strips. Down the road maybe Katzkin leather and a Webasto sunroof. What do you guys think?

For those who haven't seen my ride here is what it looks like now-

I like your xB, but if you aren't happy with the direction it is going in then change it.

"What Moves You"

If you do decide to change the tail lights please let me know. I really like yours.

You don't really need much, just a lowered widebody look is pretty much VIP.
get different visors, a fab wing, 504's are good VIP looking wheels, and if
you want a real drastic change, get a Fab style body kit, and there you go
VIP!!!

I want to stay away from kits, the only one I really like is the Noblesse and that's out of my range sadly.

I would def get ESAMs tho, don't think Ventvisors would cut it.

sportmax 504 are good looking wheels, but they're not VIP.

an xB with a JDM kit and a $1000/wheel set is still not VIP, but perhaps 'VIP style'.

Bippu is a game few can play , because of the amount of money is costs to do it.

at it's core, VIP style is low and wide. on a box, air ride is almost a minimum. work, jp, ssr, or other high end jdm wheels are a must, but the offset and fitment must be perfect.

well, I really didn't mean to rain on the parade. I think the 504s with some chrome trim and door handles would look great.

there's a guy on ebay that sells factory leather kits for dirt cheap http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZacc...esrusflQQhtZ-1
(they're a lot of work to put on, but I did mine, and have never done interior before)

i'd also agree with the comment about the visors - the knock-off esams are pretty easy to come by, and the esam style (and functionality!) are second to none, imo
