That isn't even a Scion. Look at the top of the front fender, it has too much of a downward angle. Parts of it does have an xB flavor tho.
Not a fan of VIP tho. What is up with wanting fake camber from a solid rear axle???? Posers I suppose?!?!

I personally love that car, i'd love to get something like that over here.

And as far as the camber goes, we are all building our cars to our own tastes, it seems to be a love it or hate it mod..... May i remind you that we drive a "love it or hate it" car

I guess everyone who started this style of VIP in japan is a poser too. They all run camber shims, because there is no way to get that much camber out of any car.

LIPPAGE. THat's what it's about. Not these cheapazz Sportcrap wheels. But real wheels with real lip. I am running, as soon as they arrive from Japan, 15x10 -15 offset Meisters in the rear. I will need -5 camber to get them to tuck into flares! But, I get a nice 7" deep chrome lip.

Love it or hate it, it's here to stay.

Probably on your car. APC (American Products Company) doesn't exhist in Japan.

That's what I don't get about this site. Always starting crap with people that don't fit your style. Got news for ya, it's not all about you. The other Scion sites everyone with every taste get along with everyone else. Give good comments when they like something, and shut up if they don't. Take a hint.

thats in poor taste.... why are you flaming my car? have you seen pics of my car with apc stickers on it, or any stickers for that matter? in my opinion, thats an ugly mini van... not my style.. i have seen VIP done right (scion, honda, toyota, etc..), and it's sick awesome, and i have seen it done poorly, lots of times on here as well as other forums...
since when are we not entitled to our opinions, and why should we get flamed for it? if we were all to only post when we liked or agreed with something someone else posted here, all of our cars would look the same, for fear of getting shamed by other users...
seriously, that was in poor taste.. why not flame everyone else who didnt like that pic, why did you pick me to single out? yes, i have an opinion but you dont see me flaming your ride, because maybe it doesn't happen to look like the way i built my ride do you? take a hint from yourself, and allow others to have an opinion, thats what makes this forum so unique, and keep us all coming back... we are not lemmings, we are all different and that should be expressed, we all have different tastes, not one is right or wrong...
now the day i say something negative about your ride specifically, by all means flame me from here to high hell..
