2010 Genesis Coupe VIP style build

While I obviously understand this isn't a VIP platform by any stretch, I am starting to rework it more towards a vip style.  Here is how it sits right now. I have some pretty major changes planned for it from its current look.  Any constructive ideas to go towards a VIP style would be greatly appreciated.

Best suggestion I can give.... just buy a vip platform if you want to build a vip car.

You can run vip styled wheels, but this car is always going to be a gen coupe with vip wheels. Know what I mean?

Looks good right now though!

Oh I completely understand that, I know it will never be a true VIP, I have a Genesis Sedan 4.6 that I will be starting on after the Coupe is all done for SEMA.  I am just trying to doing something a little different with the coupe for now.  I have new wheels, interior fabrics and some under hood changes on the way.  Thank you for the reply.

Interesting...

I think a sports coupe is too far at the other end of the spectrum to really turn out remotely vip styled, but you can definitely class it up by using cues from vip style. Check out some of the SC/Soarers people have done, for examples of how that can be done.

I'd say keep the coupe as it is, maybe different rims. But as for the sedan VIP that out like the OG Koreans would ahaha. Then you could do a very nice photo shoot of them both when they're done :giggity:

Hmmmm I would say, Get sporty Aggressive Vip wheels,  Interior ... Its pretty "Sporty" but you would need to try to get some Vip influence in there aswell. 

Gonna be hard to really get that out of this car. but perhaps a tray, pillows, ect. 

The color, change to black? or just get the wheels and less aggressive lip.

Im going to be doing some reupholstery, I'm having the interior trim pieces hydro dipped in a wood grain to match the floors in the trunk.  Eventually I will be getting new wheels when I find what I am looking for in the sizes I want. As for the Sedan, there isnt alot of aftermarket support, but I will be doing air ride, a front lip and some nice interior work as well as a nice VIP set of wheels.  Thanks for the input

nice, i'm slowly liking these cars

Sounds good man, keep us posted on both builds. I've been waiting to see some more gen sedans slammed.

Phizzuck that keep that whip the way it is,that shit cray..

hey you can vip style anything get some wheels and do the interior and it would be sexy

Wheels are ordered they will be here in 3-5 weeks interior plastics are sent off for hydrodip and seats are at upholstery.  I will post pics once I have decent pictures.

Update, car is in the bodyshop and the wheels are in production.  Here is the render of the final product:

[ATTACH]3411[/ATTACH]

saw this on FB... rendering looks great

Here an update of the interior, its about 90% done.

Neck pads and a fusa call it a day. :shrug: Instant VIP

all my interior pieces are off at hydro dipping.

Neck pads on some Corbeaus. I see a lot of different influences/styles in this build...almost too wild.

[QUOTE=gh0st;463263]Neck pads on some Corbeaus. I see a lot of different influences/styles in this build...almost too wild.[/QUOTE]

There will definitely be no neck pads in my car lol. What influences/styles do u see?  By the way Here is the render of the exterior: there will be a few changes but mostly the color, it's in for full custom paint as we speak.

Please don't be like other gen coupe owners and paint it some retarded ugly colour.

WHY ??? SMH

[QUOTE=4DGS;463425]Please don't be like other gen coupe owners and paint it some retarded ugly colour.[/QUOTE]

Not sure who you are refering to, but jonjons teal gen and Alex's Burgundy gen have a great look, mine will not be some crazy color.

Wow, I love the upholstery on the Corbeaus. I'm not a fan of designer knockoff fabric (on principle), but the colour and the print work really really well. Looks great, man.

i looove seeing this car at ifo in oklahoma =]
great car!

Wish I could make it tomm, but the car isnt out of paint yet.

Here are a couple updated pics, new wheels should ship this week.

[QUOTE=Bippu-GS;466102]maybe if it was black and had a nice vip wheels[/QUOTE]

New wheels are on their way, and didn't know a car had to be black to be vip themed, thanks for the lesson lol :yahoo_76:

Here is a picture I took right after SEMA:

Really nice wheels, looks like you nailed the fitment. Any plans to even out the rake, or was that intentional?


Not really seeing the vip style part of the build, at this point.

I kind of like the rake but I might run shorter bags in the rear so that I can get lower in the rear.  Mostly just the interior and the wheels are the vipish portion of the build imo.

wow looks dope Genesis coupe [URL="http://www.vipstylecars.com/forums/member.php?24465-Kamkaze"][B]Kamkaze[/B][/URL].
