Introducing - VIP Style Cars magazine

[URL="http://vipstylecars.com/vsc/vscmag/maglogo.gif"][IMG]http://vipstylecars.com/vsc/vscmag/maglogo.gif[/IMG][/URL]

We would like to formally announce a homegrown project that started here at VSC.  We have been always wanting to put together a monthly publication that was is geared towards our community here.  Instead of investing time and effort into an online blog, I decided to go back to the old days where we were excited to receive our monthly publication.  Our goal is to provide a digital version for free via our website as well as in the App Store and Android Market.  We would go to print however, because of costs and trying to keep it free for our community we decided to stick to a digital format.  We may go to a printed publication someday depending on demand and costs.  The Magazine will be based here in the U.S. and will mainly stick to our community.  We aren't looking for "full-blown" showcars only.  We aren't trying to compete with all of the publications already out there.  We will happily work with those publications if we have a feature that they would like.  I started VSC 10 years ago with the premise of having an online community where we can share our builds and ideas.  Now I wanted a publication that was geared towards us and will have the same principles as the site.  Every VIP Style Car is welcomed.  Full builds, street builds, and daily driven are all welcome to be featured.  I want to show how dynamic our community is.  We want to see everything.  True VIP Car platforms as well as those that are not normally accepted as VIP Car platforms but simply "VIP Styled".  

Email me (john@vipstylecars.com) if you would like to be featured or would like to contribute photography / car features / tech features.  


Here is our first cover which we plan on releasing in the upcoming weeks.  We chose a huge supporter and one of our OGs from when we first started our website as the cover car.  Rene (aristo93) and his Junction Produce GS300 (14Aristo).

If anyone has any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!  Thanks again everyone for all of your support!  I greatly appreciate it!

Love the idea. Can I just search VIPStyleCars in the Android Market? Do you have an idea when it will be available?

awesome news!

thats sweet, my wife and i threw around the idea of trying to start a vip mag stateside when we returned to the states in '05 from japan but obviously know nothing about doing it and didn't know how many people were even into it.  i am all for a physical magazine but don't know if it makes sense from a business perspective, 'yet' but i would promote and support it as much as i could.

congrats and i look forward to this kick ass venture/adventure  ;)

good shit john!

Hell yeah :biggthumpup:
Those who have hookups on the print side could get some paper copies made and then sell em for costs...?

good shit john, im down to help out in anyway when i can. holla at me and lmk what i can do.

Very nice John, once again thank you for all that you do.

dope - i want in

so honored to be a part of this ! Seen so many changes in the scene since day one, and will continue to see many more for years to come John excellent work bro! cant wait to see the mag! VSC is here to stay, with all the memebers that still support it and new members in daily its gonna be a fourm to stand the test of time. Looking forward to seeing whats in store for the future for VSC good times so far !

Good stuff john!

Great news! I was hoping for a paper copy I must admit, but equally excited to have this in digital format as well! 

 Thanks for your hard work on this John!

I was excited to hear about this I am stoked finally a Vip mag that is based in the U.S. how can I get a copy?

What if we attempted a kickstarter so we can immediately go to print?

cool. i'd love to contribute some tech if i can find the time. i think digital is the way to go, print is hard to justify.

is it gonna hit google play store this week too?

Dont think apple approves that quickly, we may have to wait a minute, is that correct John?

I definitely would be interested in a limited hard copy!=)

A hard copy of the first issue would be great collectors piece. Love to add one to my collection.
