new to the vip scene from SoCal

Whats up fellas, my name is Ryan and i've been into vip style cars for a while but now that I got a job I can finally work on my car! It'll be a never ending project but I love the vip scene and I can't wait to look back at my car 5 10 or even 15 years from now and feel accomplished and proud at all the hard work put into it. I like to be a little different so i'm starting on an Acura Legend KA7, it's not a vip platform car but i'd like to make it vip style, hopefully it turns out alright. I haven't been able to figure out how to post a pic of my car on here but I will once I find out. And lastly, I'd greatly appreciate anyones advice, help, or any input given to me throughout my project and i'm looking forward to starting it here at VSC!

Welcome!

To post pics find a host, photo bucket is what I use. Then copy that image URL and just paste it here in your comment.

As far as advice, work on lowering your car and wheel fitment first

Have fun =)

Interesting choice. I've seen a few crappy KA7s built and a oni-camber'd japanese one a long time ago but never a decent looking one state-side. GL with the build, I'll be keeping an eye on the thread for updates.

Thanks! I'm not sure yet, i'm workin on wheels and interior/exterior details right now...clear lenses, fogs, tint & such. I would consider it though but I still need to see what body kits are out there for my car.

I have soft spot for KA's ...... but you picked a platform that has little to no aftermarket support.
