VIP Style or Race Style??

[[ IV 23 VI ]]

I doubt it, I always here people say If the roads were better etc, they would slam there car, but there all talk..

In Japan most of the roads are worse than ours every few hundred meters there are bumps were the road joins...

Also if you want your car to stand out from the crowd do VIP, its a fairly new trend in Aus yes its expensive but thats the whole point its luxurious and not for some one who is into fake parts and your car will just look weird in JDM style (large 4dr family sedan just screams rice)..

But if your on a tight budget, then I guess you will have to go JDM.

Sorry but may i just ask where you are getting these facts from? are you Japanese / lived in Japan? driven a car on Japanese roads? and have you visited all the places in Australia?

I'm guessing you're not from Brisbane because up here our roads are bumpy as hell. pot holes every where, especially after rain.

But it's true some people are all talk, but then again you'll have to think about practicality, especially for people who doesn't have air suspension, you cannot possibly expect someone with coilovers to slam their car, they will not be able to get on any driveways, and i doubt you'll park a VIP car that you spend lots of money on on the side of the road, right?

Also are there much VIP parts for his specific accord? not any bodykit would make the car "VIP" if you know what i mean. Maybe there's more racey JDM style for his car than there is VIP. You can't really just suggest everybody to go VIP with every car

Buying secondhand Japanese vip wheels. Looking at a few different sets at the moment. But want something with a mesh design and some nice dish. The car will be on koni shocks and compressed superlows in a couple of weeks and I'll be able to get it very, very low. Going to change springs to custom kmacs to get even lower so i'm definitely down for the cause with VIP.

Valid points by both of you and yes parts for my car are really hard to find taaccord let alone VIP style parts and lip kits. The jp vizage kit is about as close as you can get but landing one here is a joke lol too expensive for a uni student. I'm going to stick with some nice jap dished 18s, slammed and a simple front lip. With the natural camber I'll get at the back and the tyre stretching I think I'll achieve the look in after. Also adding visors, eyelids, 15% tints and a subtle twin tip exhaust. When I'm done I hope to have a clean, slammed ride with a nice stance. Maybe not VIP, but more VIP than race/jdm style I think

VIP is sex.

No I have not driven there myself in Japan,

I have a friend who lived in Japan for several years who is Australia biggest player in VIP cars and is very knowledgeable, And he has told me this for a fact that our roads are not better than Japans, apart from maybe there highways are better.
If you think Queenslands road are bad Sydneys are worst.. even team Agents from Melbourne agree..
Also in Japan most VIP cars with the massive camber and super low stance are on Coilovers, not air, only the newer vehicles like the Lexus GS and LS etc are on air in jp..
So it comes down to whether your game enough not practicality, when u build a VIP car your not building a practical car, if u want practicality drive stock.
Also parts his car is not a VIP platform car in the first place so he wont find VIP parts but he VIP style his car.. with a neat lip kit, look into Thailand or Indonesia they have VIP styled kits for that model Accord..
Also most important is his stance of the car, if he can drop it with a fat set of VIP wheels and get some nice camber with flushess of the rim to the guard but slammed not above thhe tyre like that gay american hellaflush crap..
pm me ricemeister I know were u can get a beaultiful set of brand new 20x8.5 & 20x9.5 Vienna LM9 wheels (meshed VIP style) for around $2.5k landed thats less than half price.

What it comes down too is if you want VIP you have to sacrifice practicality, just like if u want JDM u have to have 2nd hand Tein coilovers, lol

"I have a friend who lived in Japan for several years who is Australia biggest player in VIP cars and is very knowledgeable"

True... should probably introduce him and try get him to give us some insight on VIP, maybe get him to post some pics and give ppl some tips and pointers and educate us all on VIP in like the lounge section or something if that's possible?

Most people here dont like VIP style I have found..

They all talk crap about it except for a few, since they dont know the style. They only know sexspec and JDM.

Also ozhonda is mostly JDM civic's & integra's

So I doubt he would be interested,
If you want to find out more there is a small site called Aus-Vip, but the cars in Aus have a long way to go before they reach the likes of Japan on that forum.

Thnx for the interest though.

been doing some thinking and looking round and decided to go the USDM route with my accord. going to dump the car on some fat 18's with stretched tires and go for the hellaflush look with a neatly cambered rear. the trend in the US scene with 6th Gen accords is hellaflush with a simple lip kit or a front lip and dumped which is definitely do-able with the resources I have available to me here in Aus, which is quite limited compared to the us market.

suspension goes in before the end of the month then off to do some test fits of new wheel setups

Nice but I dont think it will look USDM unless you plan on doing a JDM style with hella flush setup, USDM Hella Flush is a mix of JDM and VIP and Drift all in one, imo

If you colour code your lip kit and with the style you said u want to do, I think it will look more like Indo style..

USDM Hella Flush u would need to have a JDM style lip kit in Black on your silver Accord, with Hella Flush wheel, tire, and coil setup, with American Hella Flush, Wrong offset Crew and Area 50 stickers all the windscreen and Rear window...
