I think you're being a bit dramatic with all that.

I love the VIP style. It's clean. Not sure about the curtains inside, but I love the slammed stiff look. They look like GT racing series cars. I know I'm getting a little old for the slammed look, but I just can't shake it. My wife would kill me if I slammed it to the floor, and the bags it would require would cost a lot in comparison to the cost of the car... But man, I just think it's slick.. Don't like the ricer look, but the dropped stiff suspension look has always drawn me...

Buddy are you kidding? I'm going to go order a Rogue badge from Nissan, and replace the Versa one on the back, because if gets any higher I'm going to look like the inspector gadget mobile.

Besides the "rogue" replica you have going on I really like those wheels on the V.

BUMP:

Winter is pretty much finished around here, so i'll be taking the winter rubber off for the season, and getting the 17" spec v rims ready for duty.

Need to do the front brakes this week, so I thinking of ordering the Tanabe springs and lowering it slightly while I'm in there getting the brakes done. Pics possibly later this week of lowered V on the spec V's. oh yea....

So I ended up ordering the tanabe springs from versaspeed. Install was a breeze. The V looks way better now. No longer feel embarassed being seen in it. The rake is a bit wierd though, the front end is still way too jacked up in relation to the rear. Ah well, still a major improvement, while being VERY mild in terms of drop. This is EXACTLY how the V should have come from the factory, not that stock 4x4 off road edition ride height.



And for reference here's what it looked like last year @ stock ride height.
