Going VIP

[Law Grandeur]

or LS430 but the Q is much cheaper.

yea LS ftw

[wed3k]

shit man, just give me a regular ls400 and ill be happy. those v8's with exhaust sound beautiful

VIP is just a style... you can do it to anything.

This is a luxury brand. It fits. The J30 is basically Infiniti's answer to the GS300.


And it's INFINITI, not INFINITY. You don't see people going around saying "Lecksus" do you?

in east texas you do ...I also know this black girl who was named "LaPorsche" ...but props to them...they pronounced porsche correctly...though I don't think it was spelt correctly


I'm not a fan of it...front looks like a that corolla chevy and toyota teamed up to make...fugly ass turd. The rear...potential...but just looks...doofy


But hey man...if you like it then that's what counts! Keep us informed with pics

I am going to do dual exhaust. Going with a pair of WS2's...


There are no body mods so I am going to have to custom all mods. So it is going to be alot of fiberglass and trial and error.....


Non the less the way I see it for the price of just transferring the title of the vehicle onto my name and getting insurance. I got a seet as deal....

no prob is....it seems that their threads are backwards or something (atleast for me). The 1st page is actually the last page...you'll see what i mean(i hope so)

Go into the Board Settings and select "Linear - Oldest First". It's set to "Linear - Newest First".

this is just my opinion
don't do a dual exhaust.
it's not going to sound nice and it's not going to look nice. there's not even a rear bumper cutout for the first one so now you're going to have to cut out the bumper twice to fit the larger ones.

for the exhaust get a custom set up done at a decent muffler shop and the muffler would be a (singular) magnaflow with a turn down tucked up in the factory location. it's going to look nice from behind/ the side and sound good too.

the fiberglass u mentioned, just stay away from it. this car has an interesting shape already. the only body modifications i would suggest, are pulling and rolling the fenders for a nice set of wheels. anything extra might disrupt the roundness of the car from front to rear.

suspension and wheels the lower you go the bigger/ wider/ lower offset wheel you can roll on.

etc
no halos or angel eyes or misplaced led's. this car is perfect for a projector retrofit, smoked or all red tails, maybe even color matched headlight housings while you're in there. and of course a friggin back seat privacy curtain.

but again that's just my opinion

That sounds like a good approach to me.


This car was the Nissan Leopard in Japan, I believe. JDM bumpers and such might give it a unique look without being over the top.

Can't find a pic of the rims I actually have. That is the closest I can find.

They are actually gold and Chrome. They look really unique and definatly stand out in a good way in my opinion. They have an old school JDM look, well atleast I think they do...

Car is loaded with all the options. I am going to try and fab up a custom fiberglass lip for the rear and front as well. However I am lookin at alot of Junction Produce stuff for my car....



Deev.: Looked into the 300ZX TT swap into the car. Only thing I might swap is the Trans. a 5 speed would be nice. It is going to be my DD just wanna dress it up a little and stand out....

remember that vip is all about how you feel when you're in the car. there is a general image of what bippu style cars usually look like, but basically it focuses more on the mood that it sets. you want to set a comfortable, luxurious feeling, and something that rides smooth too. automatic transmission is much better for comfortable, luxurious cruising, even the best drivers have a lurch in MT. but if you still like the speed scene, then manual would suit you.

this is my impression of what Bippu style means to me:

basically, how would you wanna roll up to someone thats gonna get a ride from you? like a date, or someone you will be escorting somewhere? you want them to feel like theyre in a limousine, not a taxicab. a decent drop is okay, you dont need to slam. you still want to ride in comfort with the DD. slamming gets the exaggerated VIP style, what we see in the pictures of VIP shows. ive had the chance to see the cars in japan, and the bippu style cars that are on the road are not slammed, and still have a drivable height where they wont scrape on a bug. yet you know its vip, because of how it presents itself.

I never understood vip on low value cars

Or why Accord owners try to be fast
