New guy from Florida

Hey everyone! I've been looking around at VIP style cars for a long time as inspiration, and I look forward to building me a VIP flavored car. The catch? It's a 1997 BMW E39 528i, and the color is a dark metallic green. Another catch? I basically have a budget of close to nothing.

Anyway, I was hoping I can find more inspiration and possibly motivation here, and general advice.

Future plans (far in the future) include air ride, but as of now I'm going to go with springs that give a 1.5" drop, since I don't want to constantly scrape. I also hope to find a bodykit, or atleast a lip kit, that doesn't just have that sporty M5 lookalike style to it. The only "true" VIP thing I'd love to steal, as much as it wouldn't fit my car at all, would have to be the curtains. It gets really darn hot here in Florida.

Oh yeah, sorry for the mediocre low-res pics, I haven't taken any new pictures yet. And in case you're wondering, the wheels came with the car and I'm looking into getting new ones. They are 18" but I'm thinking about getting 19s

Good luck with your VIP flavored bimmer bro... this scene is not cheap at all tho, just a heads up.

Thanks, I've noticed that the whole scene is rather pricey, but the end result is always completely worth it. I'm trying to plan everything I'm going to do out first and save up some money.

All right man, keep us posted!!!

Good looking bimmer
