My M35xTT Jtuned Article

[quote="Jtuned.com"]
Bippu tuning over the past few years has trickled into the American tuning scene with companies such as Falken Tire, Junction Produce, and AutoFashion USA spearheading the movement. While people will debate the illicit origins of the VIP style, one thing is certain; Bippu VIP is all about being low and luxurious. While wandering the SEMA show floor a month ago, I walked past this example of VIP fashion in the Infiniti booth.
 
The first impression of this subject, brought to mind the usual suspects of this trend. Junction Produce front valance, air dam, front fog lamps, side rocker panels, rear valance apron, widen door panels and roof wing adorn the exterior of this M35. Air Runner air struts, stainless tanks, and switches keep the M’s 20×9.5 front and 20×10.5 rear Volk Racing Progressive TS’ tucked. Falken FK452 random pitch variation rubber wraps the wheels to minimize road noise.
 
Open a door to the cabin and you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find an interior that can shame all but the most elitist European tuning houses. The interior received new leather treatment with diamond stitching on the front and rear seats with alcantara suede overhead. Bellezza VIP curtains grace the side and rear windows and AutoFashion aluminum pedals embellish the driver side floor well.
 
Audio and visual entertainment is handled by a custom system build by AutoFashion USA utilizing Sound Stream components. 7” visor monitors keep shotgun callers entertained in traffic while 11” monitors curb back seat drivers from judging the driver’s piloting skills. Sounds are directed through Sound Stream sub, mid, and high sets with power drawing from Sound Stream Picasso Amplifiers and video plays from the custom mounted Sound Stream DVD player.
 
Pop the bonnet and you’ll find this M35 wasn’t assembled just for looks. The factory VQ sports a reworked GReddy TD05H twin-turbo kit. Polished piping routes hot air to a polished GReddy dual row chiller and GReddy 440cc injectors keep this M’s thirst for premium octane contained. A GReddy radiator cap keeps the cooling system pressurized and exhaust is directed through a Junction Produce Type-III quad tip exhaust.
 
We’re thankful that tuners like David Huang and AutoFashion are working to keep VIP alive in the states. Slowly we’re starting to see more and more VIP Style rides running the streets of SoCal and expect to see more Bippu build ups in the future. David and his company, ShowOpt are busy building their new project. Even we don’t know what they’re up to. Stay posted to JTuned.com to see what they have in store for us next.

big thanks to AutoFashion USA again; and please ignore all the mistyped-info, thank you.

wow. :biggthumpup:

very nice ride. i've seen pics of it before and never realized it was such a vip influenced build. the paint gives it a whole different look. very unique. only thing i don't like is the sticker job (fender and 1/4 panel particularly), but you gotta do what you gotta do i guess.

DAMN!!!! When y'all take these!
Shit came out freash!!!
 
Are these going on a plaque in the shop as well?
...........Congrats on another one sir! :biggthumpup:

Not my steez, but would LOVE to see some of the engine work done to this thing!!

Congrats looks good I love the inertior work.

So sick!

It took 3 weeks for us to:

1. Twin Turbo Set up/Emanage (Not a complete Bolt on/Custom pipes)
2. Full Interior(Interior was complete tan from floor to carpet)
3. System trunk to seats to doors
4. 1 Week for paint.
5. Custom exhaust (LS430 Junction mufflers/custom pipes)
6.  Custom Airrunner set up( Airrunner dont make it for the M35X=All wheel drive)


I agree with the sticker placement.  Im not a fan of the color but its different and when someone ask for flashy this is how its going to come out because it had to stand out for all the other cars that were built in the infiniti booth and it shows.

I hate when sema time comes and last min shit come hahaha!!!!!!!

Remember we are a 2 man shop and this has to get done with customers coming in and getting work done at the same time and im happy for the amount of time we had for it how it came out!!!!!!

Wait that thing is bagged?? Were the pictures taken at ride height??

Very nice :biggthumpup: AF always be comin out with dope ass cars

love everything except the color, imo you can make a cars color flashy without going chameleon

very nice

....All I hear at damn car shows is First place...

David Huang, David Huang, David Huang

lol

Clean ass ride...as always.

Lose the color theme tho, enough cars in that setup for you :P

If you've seen his IS.......Chemelon tends to be his thang! 
A David, F*** the haters keep doin yo thang! :biggthumpup:

yeah david quit hoggin all the trophies...just playin.
yet another dope ride.  hope u can stretch that contract as long as possible

[QUOTE=phrosttz0;211866]love everything except the color, imo you can make a cars color flashy without going chameleon[/QUOTE]

That is true but working with MOZORA its kinda hard not to go chameleon when most of there paints are that.  But i know what your getting at and im not here to make people like it.  We do what is needed and wanted by our customers.  Not everyone is going to like everything we do and we are use to it.

damn great feature and pictures ! Congrats ! one day J tuned too my goal Woot

I agree... I like everything but the color.. sorry just not my color style at all! But the execution is great! I saw this car at sema.

awww, no engine shots?!?!   boooo

[QUOTE=RaCinStylez;211975]awww, no engine shots?!?!   boooo[/QUOTE]


The funny thing is u cant see anything in the engine on those cars.  Everything is in plastic and all u see is the pipes from the intake.  It sucks because all you see is 1 pipe because its not the new VQ motor with the dual intakes.

i wasnt tryn to get at anything, just sayin my opinion bout chameleon paint.. you guys been doin your thing for awhile, got nothin but props for you guys :biggthumpup:

dope.. i didn't know it got featured.. haha.. i had a chance to drive this from Falken Tire in Fontucky to San Diego after SEMA for the VIP festival/meet... and well, although i didn't really get on it... it does pull quite well for a car boosting 7lbs... and the Belleza floor mats... oh man.. sooo soft... it's for sure a hate it or love it kinda build.. but it's nice to see something diff.. haha :biggthumpup:

the interior is absolutly amazing!! loving the diamond stitch!! and the color is def growing on me minus the stickers! but you gotta show off the sponsers too!! the execution is very clean!!:biggthumpup:

Very nicely done indeed I do remember your Mozora IS3000 and how flawless it was so I wouldnt expect anything less...big up to Autofashion for another job well done the interior work wow exceptional job guys you definitely did your thing there...

The car is sick period. But never again am I driving behind that car. lol...

:smiley-rofl::smiley-rofl::smiley-rofl::smiley-rofl:

Congrats.  Although its not my style, I give you alot of props for doing something different especially on a newer car where most people are either leasing or still trying to keep up with payments.  The interior is sick.  I just can't get over the stickers though but to each their own.  :biggthumpup:

thanks to everyone for their constructive comments & kind compliments, a few things i would like to address:
 
1. Stickers, yes, i'm with you all, they are on the car to pleased our sponsors so they can have their deserved exposure in the media press; and yes, even with graphics it could've came out better, but due to time-constrain, we had to print/cut the sticker in Vegas just the night before the show started.  Here is a picture before the stickers were laid on the car:
 
[IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b92/IS300eR/2008%20SEMA/IMG_4353.jpg[/IMG]
 
2. Color, yes, it has definately came to my mind (from a few friends) suggesting that I should've swapped the colors between this car & my Porsche (Maziora's "Matterhorn" Metalic White w/ Blue Pearl); but then again, it would'nt really achieve the goal of "thinking outside the box of black & white".
 
3. This is just the beginning, it is not the end for this car as far as modding goes; but due to budget constrain we will have to put it on a pause till we collect enough exposures in the media press.  Nevertheless, be sure to expect more coming out from us as far as our relationship grows with Nissan North America.

Oh DAMN! 
I thought this car was finished! Can't wait to see what yall do next w/ this thing!

Is that a crush car?  I'd hate to see all that work go to waste....:pat:

nice...impressive esp with the time frame....

how the heck did you get that FMIC in there... this JP bumper is already super tight on the M....

no fog lights?

nice work...

Color and rims is not my style...but if you got it for cheap  or free then why not?   Everything else is very nice.

completely different car without the stickers. looks 100x better. still not your run-o-the-mill vip build, but that's a good thing.

Nice, congrats. Outside the norm, I like it...

wats them TV's on the bottom do?

Very nice and complete build! you guys went outside of the box for sure. Im a fan of being differant. I know its hard and it takes some balls to take a beand new high end car and tear it  up from custom paint to tearing out the already nice factory leather in which i know many would never rip out. The int. looks sweet and what many VIP car lack. 
 
THis gives car show judges an easier time to figure out the winner.. you can already see just by looking at pics what set this ride above the rest. 
 
big ups to taking up to the next level! Awsome build!

[quote=vzuptnguyen;212655]wats them TV's on the bottom do?[/quote]

Um...probably show moving pictures.

Clean car, clean build.
Ups to AUTOFASHION.

Congrats on the car and the coverage!!!!:biggthumpup:

saw it in person and it's an amazing car!
but then again, what car of Davids isnt???

congrats on the feauture!

Man i LOVE this car to death. Props to doing this crazy ass project Super fast. Man, pretty much, this was almost exactly what i was going to do to mine (diff rims and kit). 10x better in person (saw it at the af meet). The chameleon isnt too bad. GL w everything. Cant wait to see the next project :dance:

This car is pretty amazing. This, I actually like the chameleon paint on, and that's a first.

I don't see any Vip on the outside, but I love the interior, it's very up to date,

car looks great! loving the interior!

how much was the turbo kit??

this is definitely my next ride. Not this exact one but I am definitely picking up an M35 and doing something similar.

this ride blows my mind. Stellar job fellas.

This is very very sick:giggity:

the TT kit was sponsored by GReddy USA before they filed chapter-11. :pat:
 
thanks for the comment, keep us posted on your M35 project though, i'm sure you'll enjoy the car as much as we do! :biggthumpup:

well i would keep you posted on my M35 but I won't be getting one for a while. :signdammit:
 
I have a 2000 GS3 thats starting to look damn good. I've got some pics of my ride under photography if you want to check it out. I've gone lower since then and picked up brand new achilles tires so new pix should be on the way.
 
if u ever get rid of this M keep me in mind even though it would most definately be out of my league seeing I'm 18. :pat:

is it [url=http://www.vipstylecars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15190]THIS[/url] thread? i don't see any pix there... :pat:

sick ride congrats

Quick question that anyone can answer.  I would assume the M35x can not take the same offsets as the M45 due to the AWD.  Is that true?  And if so, what can someone expect to run to achieve flushness on a slammed M35x?  I am not asking for a magic number, I just want a range.  Thanks  :biggthumpup:

no its under photography. 506 Photography. TJextreme's GS

Looks so much cleaner without the stickers!

Did you try and match (or get close) with the overall diameter of the front and rear tires to suit the 4wd?
