Cover Shot Cars Needed
I'm looking to get one or two cars together for a photo shoot for our SEMA VIP report. This is somewhat time-sensitive and would most likely need to happen tonight (9/5), Thursday(9/6), or Sunday (9/9).
What we're looking for:
1.) One Sedan (Lexus, Infiniti, etc) and one Non-traditional platform (xB/bB, Previa/Estima, etc)
2.) People that can get to Culver City (Near Los Angeles) in the evening. I have some locations in mind for sunset/night shots.
Reply via this thread and post pictures of your car (or other).
Thanks!

I Have some high quality pics of my car in a city scenery that look very nice. If you cant find anyone to do a photo shoot I could let you use one of my photos. I know thats not what you are looking for but I dont live close enough to take my car...

Sorry I don't mean to chime in a try and ruin what would be a great photoshoot but are those the kinds of cars that you are really looking for? Ron's Q is sweet and I have been a fan for a long time but its and older car and a little more mild on the VIP side of things. And the Gloria is also stunning but not a pratical VIP car here in the states. It's RHD and not even sold here in America, does the VIP movement really want SEMA members to be completely lost when they see the SEMA floor covered in new LS's and GS's and not a single older Q or Gloria???
Just my 2 cents.
Either way those cars and hot and I would love to see a photo shoot of them anyday.

Those are some valid points. But, the report I am building will also include many US-Spec cars for reference. Since part of the report will be a historical view of the style I feel the cover needs to clearly define(visually) and establish the essence of VIP. This is the first impression for some members of our industry, so it needs to be pure.
I would like to include a non-traditional vehicle as well to represent the evolution, but it needs to be representative.
The SEMA Show will be crawling with GS's, LS's and a host of other cars that DO NOT target VIP Style, so the
style is more important than the cars used.
I'm glad you brought that point up though.

I didn't think another "VIP is just not DUB" piece was good enough. It needed more juice.
And by the way, who said anything about this being a "great photo shoot"?

I'm hoping it will turn out nice. But Vegas will need to wait until the end of October, we'll be doing this in Culver City.
