Hard to take a car that was advertised as a sports car and make it VIP. Easier to take a luxury car and make it VIP such as a Lexus.

Euromax makes some pretty VIP looking wheels.

I dont think the S13 truly reach VIP status, but the guy with the Silver silvia and Instant Gentleman kit is probably the closest you could get to VIP.

If i was going to use the S chassis to do VIP id start with an S14.

Otherwise if you want VIP go pick up an infiniti Q45, M45 or such, very VIP'able

Not to be a jerk but good luck transforming into a VIP inspired 2 door on a low budget.

You might wanna start by posting pictures of your car so we can see where you are even at right now.

Also... I'm not a sportmax hater or anything but sportmax..xxr..whatever you wanna call it does not cut it for VIP style. You need big boy wheels, extreme low, camber that would make your mother nervous everytime you drove your car, and clean style.

I'm all for 240s being gentleman's cars, but they won't hold a flame to true VIP.

Again..good luck.

Heh thats the first car that comes to mind if i hear VIP S13.

I think if you had like 100,000 dollars to blow you might could make an S13 VIP. Maybe.

I would set yourself some LOWER goals. You will fail miserably. But good luck.

the only way i could think of for vip without a lot of money is to get staggered hella offset rims and slam it... nice clean dual projector silvia front(i would say get aero tho) and jdm side skirts or aftermarket and two tone it...



like this but with bigger rims and offset.... but that will cost about 2-3k

VIP = Baller

Baller =/= Cheap

Thus VIP =/= Cheap

Simple math that you will fail. Please do prove us wrong tho, it is always nice to see someone prove us wrong.

Just make your car look nice, dont worry so much about it being tagged as something its not supposed to be. You will end up with a much better outcome in the end.

I would look at specific car that you like for inspiration, and make it your own. The purists will just laugh at you if they see your car with curtains and woodgrain.

Theres a reason that there arent any "VIP" s chassis cars, or that they werent the platform of choice when a bunch of japanese criminals created this "style"

XXR's, Garmin, and a pop out in the vents? Doesnt sound much VIP to me.

Look in the Best looking S13's thread and get a new idea

You must really look into the definition of VIP? If you think slapping some big wheels and low offest is VIP....you are sadly mistaken.

I just dont think two-door or S-Chasis cars should be considered VIP
