My Ride: 2008 BMW 535i
So... finally committed to painting and installing sides. My friend and I went out for a proper photoshoot right after leaving the body shop to ensure I wouldn't crack anything! Haha my friend is the pro and I'll post his set when he's done with them.
Here's my quick shot. It is a pretty aggressive "in your face" kit but it fits my build IMO. Also notice my new trunk spoiler!

My Ride: 2007 ★ Alpine White
Hey. Sorry I didn't see this until now. When people talk about VIP styling, its roots are in big bodied Japanese sedans ie. Lexus LS/GS, Nissan Cima etc. A lot of the older boxier Benz's look amazing done up in the VIP style too (seem to be more popular in Russia!). Just google "VIP car" and when you see pictures of bagged sedans sitting on the floor with crazy camber, you'll know you're in the right place.

It isn't for everyone, but it really looks great. And with the sides on, the kit is finally looking complete
