New guy, wanting to do something different...

Hey guys my friends got me hooked on this VIP stuff and I decided to join one of these sweet forums to check out the amazing projects. I have an 2006 Cadillac Cts-V. For a while I modded it just like everyone else, supercharger, performance goodies, got some stuff painted here and there and then I got the idea to maybe try to give the V a VIP influenced look. I know that it would never be an official VIP car. I just think it would be something new and fun to do, I understand if some of you guys disapprove so let the flame me if you wish! I was just hoping to maybe get some help from some of you awesome guys since I am still new at this but always willing to learn. Maybe I will get a gs300 sometime soon too :). I do a lot of the work myself but all the paint work has been done by a good friend. Any advice to give it a shot with a car like this? I feel it could really be cool if the car had a chance! :D

Worst part:
I have 6 lugs! it is the worst thing ever for wheels so I have been looking at converting to 5 lug to fix that problem or are there any VIP wheels I could get in 6 lug? And if I did a widebody it would be full custom widebody!

Thanks guys!! Really excited to do this I've left exterior work last for now!

Hitting the interior first! Don't worry not just doing a fusa n calling it good haha though I did spend a while yesterday learning how to do a trinity knot much respect for those handmade ones they take forever!

Got my center console out, taking all the other parts out tomorrow I've got some ideas floating around for everything looking for some swarovski crystals! Checking out some gardon n jp stuff too can't wait! :)

Ps anyone know best place for affordable in dash clocks!?
