No matter how much we explain or try to educate others about VIP (bippu) styling for that matter it will be a challenged for them to understand, keep in mind most of us at one point we've owned and tricked out our cars to be fast which were heavily modded for performance - racing. When one drives a bippu car, they drive slow.

This VIP topic has been argued too many times.

One day, it will catch on and that's my dream.

bippu isn't even a word, its just the closest sounding US attempt at how they pronounce (VEE EYE PEE), in Japan they have no letter V which thus creates BIPPU.

Whether it catches on or not, ppl still need to understand it's history, how things began, where it caught interest, and who and what styles to pay homage to. There are alot of influences from hot rods, and euros that many of today's so called VIP purist dont even recognize.

I think the most mildest forms will catch on, it'll be hard for the boso styles to really make a dent here.

I totally agree. For example, that purple 1st gen. Thing is sick as hell, but I doubt I'd own it...

VW Type1's are the sh*t, too.

VW's started me off on customizing vehicles.

Plus, that Lexus looks rad! Camber helps you tuck, FYI.

seen to many guys just put cmaber on there Scion just becuase...

Call it Camber abuse.. lol

IT has to be done right.. and tastefully..

IMO unless you going really wide wheels that will stick out and try to tuck them in the fender.. putting camber on wheels that are your normal narrow wheels is just .. shake my head and wonder why..

IMO looks best with high end wheels


but again what ever rocks your boat.. its your car..

example

why you would need to camber.. you have s wheels thats have a crazy offest and wider than you need...

IF the wheels arent sticking out with out camber why even waste your time with camber..

sorry but thats my take on this whole camber topic..

but again its a money maker and what ever floats your boat and make you happy..

I think the stock grill looks 10x's better than many of the others out there on the market currently. Personally alot of the grills out there these days are either mesh or tacky....

and I would normally totally 100% agree w/ the above mentioned. If you dont got the right wheels to need to tuck it then its a total waste of performance, stability, reliability, and a joke. But I'm going to have to disagree b/c at the end of the day our cars are fwd and so if you use the above logic then you might as well call it on the staggered look for fashion.
