How To Make Your Ride VIP-ed?

VIP Styling is the modification of large four-door import luxury cars. It is the blending of a luxury car and a sports car. VIP styling originating in Japan and this style of automobile dress-up continues to gain popularity in the USA.

STEPS
Obtain a large four-door, rear-wheel-drive sedan.
Paint the car black, white or silver if it is not already one of those colors.
Lower the car quite drastically. Try to minimize the distance between the wheel and the fender.
Install very wide, low-offset 18-20" chrome wheels.
Mount smaller than recommended tires on the wheels so the tires pull away from the wheel's mounting edge.
Get the outer most edge of the wheel to come as close as possible to the fender's edge without contacting.
Use camber and tire stretching (hipari) to allow a flush or close to flush, wheel to fender fit. The idea is not to tuck the wheel into the fender but rather have the lip of the wheel as close to the fender's edge as possible, only the tire tucks, the wheel is emphasized.
Install an annoyingly loud dual-exhaust system without any catalytic converters, and minimal muffler.
Install a luxury bodykit that emphasizes the car's lines while adding presence.
Outfit the car with curtains.
Tint the windows. Green is popular but classic black is also a standard

TIPS
Be aware that many individuals have different interpretations on what VIP styling is about, for example not everybody believes they should have loud exhaust systems while others believe only certain models of car are suitable for this kind of modification.
Newer VIP bodykits are not tall or exaggerated at all. Kits from companies like AimGain, Mode Parfume, Wald, and Anceltion can even be difficult to distinguish from stock to the untrained eye.


WARNING
Never challenge another VIP person's car styling.
VIP kits and modifications can be expensive, do not try this if you are on a budget.
