Sema: Suit and Tie edition

“VIP” has grown as a style from the days of big black, mostly stock-bodied Japanese sedans slammed on static suspension and big expensive wheels. Nowadays, pretty much any color and any make is fair game, as well as crazy body kits and loud details.

The new, “Imported from Detroit” Chrysler 300C looks natural dropped on flashy wheels.

The new Hyundai Genesis sedan sitting mean in a dark grey is another example of the new VIP.

Another Genesis sedan.

Fitment being on point is still a big part of the VIP trend as demonstrated on this VIP Y50, or Infiniti M45 as it is more commonly known.

Another Infiniti M45. What are your thoughts on these wheels?

The Lexus LS is a staple of the VIP trend.

A little more traditional style here!

Elvis Skender, founder of Stancenation had his brilliant Lexus LS400 on display in the excellent Toyo Tires Treadpass.

The new Lexus LS.

Send me your submissions!

I’m always on the lookout for cool stuff, so if you’ve got a car, truck, van, suv etc. that you think belongs on here, shoot me an email with some pics and a mod list and if I like it you will see it on Safety Stance!

Whether it’s slammed, stanced, hellaflush, fat and meaty, lifted, drag prepped, rally crossed, hard parked, drifter, rock crawler, mud bogger, street sweeper, or anything in between, I want to see it!

Random sickness, v.4:

3 wheeling Fiat Abarth!

Modified Hyundai Veloster?

Was just talking to a friend the other day about how you almost never see the Kia Soul modded…

Maybe a big Japanese GT-VIP style Lexus GS430 is more your style?

For more speed, add lightness: Lotus Cortina carrying the inner wheel through a banked turn.

Big Mercedes W126 laid out, likely on air: straight up gangster.

Another german on air ride: Mini Cooper on BBS wheels.

Sorry for the low res, but how awesome is this arctic prepped Nissan Frontier?

And some Japanese drifter conversion weirdness: Nissan S13 with Mercedes headlight conversion.

I’m a sucker for air ride and roof boxes. Any car is better to me with those two things. Like this Scion XB 2nd gen.

Import Alliance Spring meet Atlanta, GA 4/22/12 v.2:

Some of the more interesting vehicles from this springs Import Alliance meet in Atlanta Ga.

A true Righ Hand Drive Japanese imported Toyota 4-Runner.

Cool wheels that work on everything, v.1: BBS RS

I know there are many kinds of the BBS wheels in this style, and many things that can be done i.e. different types of lips, faces, caps, bolts, etc.

 

Somehow, they look good on anything.
