Thread #14161
I think it looks pretty good. I don't know why the "DUB" is in front. If done alittle bit more VIPish I think it looks pretty damn good. [img]http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/genesisw_07.jpg[/img]
Hyundai FTW
This imo is by far the poorest rendering of what this car can look like vip-styled...reminds me of the dudded out bentlex combo...:ughdown::ughdown::ughdown:my ratingx3
Damn, it's got serious potential. I'm in the process of photoshopping a set of Ordens on one of these, I think a full face wheel will look a lot better than a five spoke.
RIDES magazine did their version of the car and it will be in Sema.
Uhm..didn't we talk about this already?
Yea, I made a thread about it and its potential the night of the Superbowl when they first aired it. Then from there, Rich and everyone went nuts with photoshop

I've seen the thread before but wanted to post a real car that was modified.
You know, honestly I am pretty damn impressed with the line of cars Hyundai has now days, they have come a long way. And that Genesis is pretty tight. I can see this becoming a popular new VIP platform over time, the car certainly lends to it.
i went by the dealership and checked one of these out...my wife wants one so bad.....gives me a reason to work on one...hmmmmm they might look good with Arrons rims he is sale'n.....
it should look good, it has styling cues from all the top manufacturers...
It's definitely a worthwhile car, I say. So should this be considered a VIP car or VIP-style car? Hehe..
VIP-style car if anything

you go to a junk yard that has a Vanden Plas Jag from most years and you remove them and install them in your car...the end.

[QUOTE=Franklin;200771]It's definitely a worthwhile car, I say. So should this be considered a VIP car or VIP-style car? Hehe..[/QUOTE] The die hard VIP fans would say EVERYTHING is "VIP Styled" unless it starts from the original VIP platforms (President, Celsior etc.) This car would obviously fall in that category and will NEVER be considered true VIP. Kind of retarded to think that way but that's the way it originated and people seem to want to stick to it. Say you get a brand new LS460. You get some bis ass Asanti rims and an Asanti Grill with custom air suspension and change the interior to fur or something funky like that. Also slap on a custom bodykit by Five Axis. Now imagine the same car but you put on some big Leon Hardiritt Super Star wheels and a Junction Produce bodykit with the same air suspension. Now which one is VIP? They both have perfect original platforms but only 1 is "TRUE VIP" only because the way it was done up. Because of that reason I think VIP is ONLY a style and can't label it to only a handful of platforms. You could however have platform rules such as full size sedan with V6/I6+ engine and RWD. What makes it a VIP car would just be the way you fix it up.
this car is hands down sexy!

[quote=elpresidente;201446]you go to a junk yard that has a Vanden Plas Jag from most years and you remove them and install them in your car...the end.[/quote] probably easier said then done. but good looks.
^ No it really isn't. You just take off the seat cover and make a wood bracket into the foam of the seat and screw it in the front. The end.

pretty sweet
Saw them at SEMA and I was really surprised at how great they looked! Alot more impressive in person!!

^Both cars are hard as f*ck
Damnnn they dont mess around. TOO CLEANN!!
1999 called and said GIVE ME BACK the DUB emblems .... :pat: Nice rides never the less .. :biggthumpup:
i've been secretly eyeballing these. i don't know why i like it when it looks like every other car i don't like.
^ I gotta agree with that comment OG.
just as VIP as a y33 imo. spread your mind, there is no rulebook
Here's that PS I did like...forever ago: [IMG]http://www.nightgarage.cc/VIP/vipGenesis.jpg[/IMG]
My dad just bought one of these...def gonna show him these pics/vids.
there is always gonna be hall monitors saying this car isn't vip enough. lol @ that because the japanese manufacturers try to emulate the europeans, the vip still emulates the europeans. Now Korea has always emulated everyone but they fail because of it. blah, i'm a die hard toyota fan but hey if the quality is there in the genesis and equus at a lower price then people can do whatever they feel like doin and it'll look pretty good. it's still a luxury car at the end of the day. dead cow hide is in all of em.lol
Depending on the reliability, I could see myself buying one in the future.
i dont give a damn......id rock one!!
^^ those korean ones are freakin sick!! i'd rock one if the price is right. their new designs are pretty nice, i like the route they're going. better than current route that Acura's going with IMO.. plus how can you go wrong with a $100K plus Equus limo!! (photoshop request if anyone has time) [img]http://askmeany.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/hyundai_equus_limousine_askmeany.jpg[/img]

Most of the Japanese VIP cars are very "Japanese" looking. The Y33, Y34, F50, they don't look anything like a European car. The LS and GS don't look European either, maybe the LS was a little bland, but the new version looks nothing like the S-class or 7-series it competes with. [QUOTE=CamryVIP;373864] dead cow hide is in all of em.lol[/QUOTE] Most of the Japanese VIP chassis cars come with cloth unless you choose leather. Leather is only insanely popular in the USA. I wanted to do my Q45 in cloth but I digress lol. In any event, the Genesis is a sweet car, it definitely belongs in VIP when it's done like Pres' chop. I'd have no problem rocking one.
If you can afford a $50k+ HYUNDAI,your officialy out off the hood.
Genesis won many awards... Top awarded car in 2009. This car is legit.

There has ALWAYS been a heavy European influence on Japanese car design and styling. There still is today, but as you stated, they've taken things in their own direction rather than borrowing styling cues from others as in the past.
