I like VIP Style, don't get me wrong.
But here's what I think takes away from cleanliness:



1. Decals on the windows.
2. Wheels approx 1 inch too large
3. Red center caps are ugly
4. Lose the tacky door-mounted sun visors
5. I'd get a different lip kit, because I think the skirts are awful.
6. Need to tint the headlight reflectors
7. Get a cleaner aftermarket grille.

I can't tell what the tint is either, but imo if you're going for VIP style it's 15% front and 5% rear.

Just my thoughts. lol

here is my opinion...
1. window decal isnt too bad, i've seen worst, but thats the shop's iconic window decal in that area too..
2. i think 22's are perfect for that sedan, its a big car. what other size do you plan on putting on a big flagship sedan? would you put 20's on a 7 series or a S class?
3. Red center caps arent my cup of tea but i think its the new trend since i've seen some new Vip rides in Japan rocking the red caps.
4. actually they are wind deflectors/rain visors. its very traditional in Japan as some cars come factory with them.
5. it's actually a full replacement body kit... no lip kit. Apparently you have not seen the Japanese market, this is classier than some.
6.the head light reflectors arent a problem to me, they're OEM headlights.
7. the front grill is OEM factory grill... why fix if it isnt broken?

window tint, personally, I would prefer a car without tint. 15% 30% Limo tint, that's not Vip. if you would like to further educate yourself with the Vip styling, VIPcar magazine from Japan can school you.

i find that funny.... it does have a similar look. but this kit fits a lot better than the $20k mansory kit. I have had personally experience with installing a Mansory kit on a Bentley...
