VIP Style?

Anyone on here gone with some VIP styling stuff? If you don't know what it is, its a japanese thing. They style luxry cars with gangsta ish. Was big with the yakuza at first. They drop the cars, nice wheels, curtans, bling crap inside. LOL

its pretty big now with Mercades. So was wondering if anyone has done anything to a BMW? I haven't really seen anyone Do a "VIP" BMW.

The way I see it VIP style looks better on bigger cars. I don't think it would look as nice on a smaller car. Maybe the E90 more than the E92.

personally I don't like the VIP style cars at all.
But I agree with the other guys, the 3er is too small.

Don't confuse VIP style with your regular american Bling. I came from VIP and I still have accents of it on every car I mod. So far I have Junction Produce fusa hanging from my rear view mirror and JP tissue box. Looking to find something else out of VIP inventory that would work for a small car like e92.

What rappers have VIP style cars? Most of them just have (insert 6 figure car here or an old school American car) on 24s and 26s.


For some reason I've never liked any VIP styled BMW's. They seem to look better on Benz's and Lexus's.

I lived in Japan as a kid, so I know what true VIP style is like.

However, in these days, all those rapper bling crap completely polluted the image of VIP to a point of no return. If one attempted to build a VIP ride, no doubt that it will get lumped into the bling rapster crap.......

To me..VIP is body kit, bag suspension, big rims, aggressive camber, curtains for the windows, etc.


The rappers are more involved in the Dub culture, IMO.

I don't really thinking rappers have anything to do with VIP styles. Just because they have air bags on their old cars or BIG rims on their SUV, it doesn't really make them a VIP car. Plus, they'll just throw VIP into describing their car because they want to feel important.

To the OP: Save yourself the embarrassment. VIP cars are nice but I don't think its for a car like this.

^I agree... but I'd still go with a Fusa and maybe curtans (dont know why). I've been driving a race car everyday for a while. My WRX was intense that it wasnt suitable enough for my life. So sports luxry is new to me. Hehe but already bought some MODS (Eisenmann meisterschaft exhaust, and PROcede).

I'ved lived in a gangsta area of Tokyo hehe. If anyone knows tokyo well. maruyamacho, shibuya. So the VIP cars around there were yakuza mostly. But I use to hang with a few car scenes all over japan.
