I've got to say that "VIP" is just a step up from "Rice" in my opinion. Instead of being cheap in the pursuit of bad taste a person wastes several times more money for a slightly less ridiculous looking car.

I'm so sick of seeing VIP cars, I don't get it, slap some deep dish wheels on a luxory car and slam it to the ground, then find the ugliest body kit, or hell, alot of them look like just flat pieces of metal bolted to the car and painted.

The Lexus LS (sold as the Toyota Celsior in Japan) is a V8-powered, rear wheel drive luxury car that serves as the flagship of Toyota's luxury Lexus division.
wikipedia says otherwise.

The car looks really good, but that interior is ricey... blue and that fiberglass job on the system looks like its for a tuner show car. For VIP they should have gone with a tan suede or something. I could also do without those puddle lights, they look APC-ish.

Ugly interior, ugly wheels, stupid dot lights..

Install better wheels, shut off the dot lights, return to stock interior and it'd be super-pimp. Why mess up a fine luxury interior for that crap. All I can hope for is that it saved a lot of weight, and performance was the top goal of the owner.

Biggest thing = ugly wheels. Looks like a hotwheels toy.

I don't even have to look at it to be able to tell I won't like it. VIP is not my style, I hate big cars, big rims, and all the other bling-bling, look-at-me ****. The only thing I like big is hp and tq everything else needs to be as small as it can be while still functioning. That reminds me, I saw a Lotus Elise and a Gallardo race from a traffic light yesterday and the Elise killed him off the line. I love the Elise/Exige, a pure driver's car.
