From what I understand, VIP is making your car tastefully blinged out. Not like those cars you see on MTV cribs rolling on 26"s and fishtanks in the engine bay or whatever it is they do...

Wikipedia
Cars associated with VIP Style usually have common characteristics; usually large diameter rims (usually broad faced designs) with low offsets that sit flush with the fender, exhausts that stick out past the rear bumper (although not so much emphasized these days), a full bodykit or lip kit, glossy paint and a lowered ride height (usually with air ride or coilovers). It is not uncommon to see extreme negative camber on many vip cars. Traditional colors of VIP Style cars are usually black, white, grey and silver.

Thanks for the definition hawgs, and those pics are freakin awesome guys 
But why can a tC never be VIP? If that's what it takes to achieve VIP status, I'm sure a tC can accomodate all those requirements...

You need a really nice and a somewhat aggressive lip kit or bodykit. VIP is NOT a cheap style and you can't buy knockoff ANYTHING to achieve the look right. So no AIT Racing Fab or w/e its called kit or Sportmaxes!!

I'm personally not a fan of this "VIP" style. Again this is all just my opinion. But I personally dont like those large faced "luxury" rims and cars dropped so low that the tire hides in the wheel well.

VIP style isn't really something that would work for the TC, but you can get a really expensive look that will make the car look more along the lines of a BMW or Mercedes. Tasteful would be the operative word, no ridiculous rims or ground effects. I would think something like the 5Axxis ground effects kit design with some brightwork on the dash and leather seats would be a great start. There's so much you can do though, it's really a personal choice
