Hi everyone i been here for a while learning the whole Vip scene. Well here are some pics of my ride i know it not vip, but vip inspired* :). It no done yet since i'm still working on it so dont mind the mis color stuff.. The flare are wraped in silver carbon. The specs for the wheels are 18x9 and 18x10 Auto Coutre I got them from {-.-} Robert, great guy..Tires are 225/40 and 235/40.* sorry for bad pics i was using my camera phone better pics later.

rear w/o flares, yes i know the exhaust are off ,i had a kit before so now i have to redo them.

it looks like the wheels fit perfect with out the flares. i like it. i think it would look better with out the flares too ;)

[fixedtl]

yes it fits almost close with out the flares when its droped, but once its lifted it sticks out. Thats why i have flares :)

[bBOXD]

Looks good. Its very USA Style VIPstyle, you know? :laugh:

[{-.-}]

You got them on already.......... ???

At least you dont have to worry about others saying that you got the same style they have................ wheels wise :coolsmiley:

[TLontheDL]

i like it except for the carbon fiber look.* i like how your spoiler is molded into your trunk too.

[555]

maybe spacers n -ve camber would look even better ;)

[shoez]

fixedtl, what kit are you running?

[VIPete]

Nice job. But i'm not feeling the side skirts. I hope those temporary.

Black Widow on a VIPStyle car = Retarded :uglystupid2:


Other than that, it looks pretty cool.

I like the way your car looks, where did you get your flares from?

And in this picture, is there a way you can extend the flares all the way down to the body kit or does it just cut abruptly.

I totally agree. Get rid of them skirts. I think it would look nice if the taillights were semi-tinted black.

I made custom the flares on myself.The flares was for my other bodykit rear end but since i got a hold of the WW add on and it was wraped in carbon already i didnt want to redo them.

The tail lights are tinited red. and as for the sides it only Temp i'll have the WW side later on.

I dont have a spolier haha

[efini_kid]

this is a great lookin inspire. what kinda work did u have to do to make the 10 inch rear wheels fit?

[firelizard]

It looks great from a distance but coming in close, I hate to say it but the fit and finish it pretty bad, I see gaps and misaligned panels etc.
Also, the Black Widow... :idiot2:
On the other hand I really like the overall shape and look of it, with the flares.

had to cut and pull the fenders out and then put the fender flares on.. I am going to redo my air ride so that the rear will tuck in and have a camber look.

[Pagong]

Dont tuck it in, have your wheels lip riding flush to the flares..that would be hot.

yes that is what i'm going to do. i'm going to make my ride hight the way it is in the pic i just want it tuck when its slammed

[AME_VIP]

great choice on the wheels and the project. Has a lot of potential! I love the fitment with no flares.

Could you give some info on how you made your own flares?

you're one to talk...

car looks good. minus the skirts. i bet if you just re-did them, fiberglassed the holes/filled in the lines/smoothed them out, it would be fine, like below.
(good ole paint photochop hahah :2funny:)

[V8_Aristo]

I'm not really feeling the flares, it might be that it just looks bulky on the car. Maybe something a little more sutle will do the trick, but this is just my opinion.

maybe something like this

[CharismaY33]

I like the TL. But i am bias on the flares.. ahh i think the tucked in look would suit better. :coolsmiley:

[fixedtl]

Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions. This is a badass forum you guys help me out instead of bashing like other forums. And for the flares its probably only for now until I can save and redo new flares and repaint.

I didnt really make my own i used the lexus IS wald flares and mod the hell out of it to fit :)

[fixedtl]

Here a better pic and i put the new sides on.

[stankubrick]

Looks like a completely different car w/o the flares. I like it much better w/o flares IMO.

[shoez]

looks great. definitely better than the black widow sides* :P lol but it still looks like you should do something about the strange gap between the back of the sideskirt and the front of the back fender. Dosent flow properly. Mold em together perhaps?

[Rob Daddy]

like it without the flares

[{-.-}]

Keep the Flares on and mold them in.............. I know your working on it, make it diffrent then the rest out there.

[firelizard]

you're one to talk...

I don't get it

Anyways, the car looks waay better with the new ones, great choice
And like I said before, I really like the flares

[One Ton VIP]

If tire "tuckage" is a concern, you can effectively re-radius your wheelwell arches since your flares are easily-detachable. In other words, if you want to tuck more tire at a given height, move the flares down ever so slightly. If you want to have that "filling up the wheelwells" look at a certain height, then move the flares up a tad (called radiusing the fenders). Sideskirts... is it possible to fill in that divot/indent in the bottom? Just make the skirt one flat slab side will not only visually make the car appear bigger, and lower, but it's also going to look a lot cleaner and make more sense than that cut-out that lines up with nothing and obviously looks like it was designed for another car (as it probably was meant to like up with the front and rear of the door). Other than that, spacing the wheels out another 10-15mm to take advantage of those flares, while cambering in about another 1.2deg will transform the car in a profound way

Thanks for all the advice i will looking into some of those but i can not camber the car is because i am on air . I can only have a camber look when it droped. In those pics you see that is the lowest i can go. SO i am going to redo my rear cyclinder so that i can camber in when drop and make it rideable at the hight you see in the pics. and for the side i am not sure what you are talkin about. Are you talking about the part where it kinda of sinks in? towards the middle of the skirts?

[AME_VIP]

I was gonna say the same thing about the side skirt. That long divot thats in the middle of the new side skirt could be filled and it would make a huge difference. Keep up the good work.
