As for the pillar lights, start looking for the Napolex Laylight, a set only come with 2 lights. Thanks for the kind words.

There was a xB here that has deep Fab Rims. That was the sickest VIP Rim I seen on a 08 xB so far.
BTW I have a full set (all pillars and floors) of the JDM Laylights for sale right now in the classifieds.

Too many variables to give a simple answer. wheel width, tire size, willingness to make the wheel fit, and what you consider flush all have to be taken
into consideration. I have 18x8 +32 front and rear with 225/40 tires. the front needed a little rolling, the rear needs a spacer. again, I think it all depends.

The problem with the GEN2 right now is there are no body kits that can get you the right look for VIP.
Marshal in Hawaii is pulling it off the best right now. he has the stance, wheels and is using the only kit available when he started his build. He is also planning on changing it when something comes along.

he knows what VIP is and I've seen his car in person and it is clean!
and definetly going in the right direction,
and FTW Body Kits are not exactly what makes a car VIP its all stance
and execution for the most part. I hate getting into this subject because
everybody has different views on it. I dont feel like looking up the history
on it.
Also our cars will never be VIP we they will always be VIP style, EXE, LUX.
they aren't platform and anybody who knows VIP knows this. So there is
no point in trying to argue something that we all know will never be, we just do
the best we can with it and make something that we love.
Damn good way too put it my friend. Very well said, im going with the style also.
I just bought a kit that was made too look like the Fab kit but it is obviously not the real deal. It will get painted here with in the next couple weeks and i will post pics of her whens she is done. But here is my inspiration as for as VIP "STYLE" goes. Cuz we will truely never b VIP.
the kit pretty much looks the same for the 2 gen but is a little more rounded.

That's the Spirits kit and there's no knockoff of it.
Or are you saying your Fab kit is the same as the 1st Gen??

You guys definitely hit the spot with stance. That is the main thing, but also remember that the style is low and wide. Wheel fitment is one of the most important things on a VIP car, as i have seen some that have the wrong offsets and they ruin the car. There is a xb2 in san diego who is rockin some vip wheels, Charles from SE, they are AME's and look sick. Plus airrunner is now out for the new xb, so that will help with the VIP look

hey signalxb.. nice choice of rims.. =D
im TRYING for the VIP style.. but with money being an issue.. i'll just probably stick with the LUX styling.. or a more conservative look..
i really need a new picture of my car..the only ones i have are before my df210s and with the unpainted kit on..although i still havent painted it..
