what do ya think of this car as vip.?its a good friend of mine he owns a shop here in houston called asaa racing.to me i like it alot. i like the wide body the body work looks perfect. :coolsmiley:

here's another one of his cars.[img]http://revo1.com/importfaceoff/images/IMG_6898.jpg[/img]

well i like the rear work the most. the BLACK paint is reallly smooth which equals excellent body work skills. nice overall but the molded ''top gun'' front? not me

Can you post some rear shots?

Looks like WEDS Kranze Cerberus wheels. ;)

yea they are. i dont ahve any right noe on this computer but ill get some as soon as i get to my house.

Looks good..

Sweet body work, but it makes the wheels look tiny.

kinda looks like a porsche 944 or something like taht with a altezza front end. id hit it

Nice! Needs a drop though!

That car has been on the IS scene awhile. I think I saw it a few years ago at a show in Houston. If the bumper is a Top Gun, that's one of the lowest bumpers available for the 1st gen IS even without a drop.

bag it and itd be off the hook. the wheel gap in the front is killing it, makes the wheels look sucked in and makes it look ass heavy. but the widebody is badass

That might be the problem. Kit is so low the owner can't lower it more with destroying the kit, but that leaves massive wheel gap?
Air would help for shows, but I think the best solution is air+bigger wheels

That front bumper isn't low. 

Nice RIDES!!

i dont know what he wants to do with the suspension yet. it just sits in his garage all day.it should be at HIN. im fo sho going with my xb. by the way i just put my tein basics on with hids,and my -3 camber shims are on the way as we speak. ill post pics wen its done.

you prob did see it b/c these are from texas

Any pics with the back door open? Or should I ask if it even opens?

yea it does open. it looks like if it was o.e.m it looks good inside,im not sayin that just cuz its my friend. but it really does look good.when we go to dallas ill take some pics.i think he told me that its gonna be in the tein booth.i thought the same thing wen i seen it but it actually looks good.

Hmmmm, good concept. But I don't think the body work matches the IS300 body well. That's just my opinion.

....just curious....what does your car look like ??

WOW! now [u]THAT[/u] IS a nice widebody.... *thumbs-up*

Lloyd Christmas voice "I like it ALOT".

hm too much needforspeed underground look for me :-X

Kinda sad, even though he has widebody, wheels still don't fit right.

Exactly...it's like whats the point? And yes, in this case the wideness is TOO over the top and doesn't flow well with the car in my opinion. I still want to see that inner door area in the back though to see to what extent the took it.

well he never drives it. it just sit in his garage like i said. the suspension is still the same,i mean the inspection tags have been exspired since iv been knowing him. thats why he hasnt did anything to the suspension or flush the rims to the fender. like i said he dont drive it, he has his other cars to worry about. you know the cars that take him to work, it just a show car at that. but i know for sure thats what he wants to lower it and flush the rims but no tellin when that will be. some people like it some dont thats with every car i think.

I honestly have to say, I just don't get it.

He buys a car, spends a shit load of money on it, stops before he's done, and doesn't even drive it.

Why did he buy a car?

Amen. It's a show car, that doesn't have to worry about driving...go as agressive as physically possible on fitment and ride height.

Oh yes, I definently agree. It's kinda of a no brainer. I mean even if the body work doesn't even compliment the IS300, better fitting wheels should compliment the body work. In otherwords, it'll make a day and night difference. Right now (although the body work is clean), it kinda just looks like a widebody civic with an Altezza conversion. That's a tragedy in itself. 

Perhaps his friend - who owns that IS300 - should see what we have to say. Either good or bad, it's constructive. 

hun action.... nice... im workin on the system as we speak as well as the suspension we are in the talks with tein to make it a sponsor car

You must be the owner?

Tein sponsorship certainly will take you places! (just hope it doesn't take you to the spray booth for the white and green :P)

Is it a track car? I thought Tein was only sponsoring race vehicles this year...

as for shops outside of california we are one of the top tein dealers across america and in texas alone...
hun an myself have meet with the owner of tein. he personally came down from his visit to california and the states to see who and what our shops is like since like i mentioned we are one of the top dealers outside of CA.
as for them taking us places is true once a car is with such a major company like this its a stepping stone for the car.
and if the tein wants to paint it white and green THEN WHY NOT... ITS A GOOD OPERTUNITY...

NO ITS NOT A TRACK CAR... like i mentioned just upabove then owner already knows of us and has met with us and we also have an inside connection so that the sponsorship is in good standing...

Don't worry I didn't mean to offend. It's just that, I tried to read your response, but couldn't understand your broken Engrish. 

But with all kidding aside.. I don't understand what "being sponsored by Tein" has to do with our comments regarding your wheel fitment and body work. :uglystupid2:

dude wtf did i quote anything about the wheel fitment comments and the bodywork comments..NO JACKASS :idiot2:. my quotes were just for the two post about TEIN... open your eyes a little and read what i have wrote.

Why you so mad? :D No need to get all pissy. 

That still doesn't help your car. I say concentrate on your wheel fitment and your car will be half way decent. 

After all having a sponsored car doesn't mean it's done right. Just being constructive.

As being from the industry, you do not present yourself too well. Are you sure you are a business owner and #1 Tein distributor outside of CA? :crazy2:

That is a hot Z. The rear quarter reminds me of a 911

I thought TEINs were known for only offering 1-2" drop at the lowest setting?

Not sure whether your goal was to impress VIP stylers or drift/racer kids so that would make a big difference as to how you would take our comments. On this forum we all like the 'pushed to the limits' look, so that would be car on the ground, wheels poking out with max camber and widebody [i]as necessary[/i] to cover the tops of the wheels.

Would love to see how the widebody was done though. Looks to be done very cleanly

i wasnt trying to impress vip. i just posted it just to show ya my friends car. people say well if its a show car why doesnt he finish it bla bla bla. first of all he's always out of town,he manages the shop here in houston and sometimes goes to cali for the other. like i said he doesnt touch the car all that much anymore. but people tend to forget..hey but i understand everyone has their 2 cents...believe me i know eveyone like the wheels poking out and riding on the very edge of the inside of the tire,havin alot of camber,slammed to the ground i love that too.but i know for sure he's coming back around to finish what he started.

Cool, hey, he's eons ahead of me no matter what.

I hope that he was also just joking about the TEIN paint though =(
