I don't know if I've seen a real VIP tC done proper yet, but I'm sure it can be done. Coupes are at a disadvantage but here's one that pulls it off-
If you can do it with a Buick, you can do it with a tC...

that must be photoshopped. you cant have that much dish on a RSX with factory fenders and body kit looks like an enlarged/deeper version of the factory kit.

You guys that Say Coupes are VIP are reallly, really ____.... 
NO such thing as a "VIP coupe"....
Especially a VIP tC!
The VIP coupe as people think is an American creation!...Doesn't exsist in Japan!!!
If you want to see "actual" VIP cars go to an Auto Fashion Meet in Southern California..
Here's Pics of REAL VIP style cars...

meh...I think a high-end feel can be brought to the tC through high-end products that were listed before (Ilovemytc), however true VIP can never be achieved with a $18k car, even if you put a Garson sticker on it.

there will never be a VIP TC, but you can make it VIP "inspired" like most coupe owners are doing such as that s14 or s13 someone posted.. rims and suspension are the most crucial that will either make it or break it and a total fail

HKS, that RSX is real and its in Florida.
wow, craziness in this thread for sure.
anyways, i think the confusion lies within a "style" vs the real thing. do i think my tC is VIP? i know its not, but that cant stop me from applying some of the visual/suspension cues taken from real VIP platforms and adding my own twist. I dont think I was going for any style inparticular really, I just happened to see a bB with the Eurolines I have at a show years ago. He had Work Euroline DH's, a rare limited edition set with gold rivets. It was the stance that made me wanna do what I saw to my car, i mean damn, it looked sick!!. And along the ways, customize it to what I like, not to customize it exactly like a VIP car. I know its not one, and will never be one. But it doesnt stop anyone from taking some of the visual accents and implementing them in their own fashion.

re
I think VIP style can only be accomdated properly with the proper car and seriously I don't think any coupe can do it "right." I don't even think many regular sedans can do it, say a 3 series, even if you try to do it it wouldn't look good as say an older style lexus.

The only tc that is vip style is eujins (so far). Very nice looking vip style tC at that too.
vip 101 (for educational purposes): It's not V.I.P... it's vip... and it's pronounced vip (like whip, but with a v). And don't go around saying "bippu". the u in the word is silent.

VIP Style refers to the modification of Japanese luxury automobiles to make them more fashionable and even more luxurious. VIP Style are typically large, expensive, rear-wheel drive sedans, though automotive enthusiasts use other cars like minivans and Kei cars. Once associated with the yakuza, VIP Style modifications now are a subset of automotive modification.
