VIP CTS

This is my 2005 Cadillac CTS that I have turned into an American VIP if you will. I've been working on it for a couple years now and finally feel confident enough to post it, hope everyone enjoys.

i think it looks good. interior looks proper.

definitely some different wheels, and more low, and it would be VIP-ish.

F-ing gorgeous, I love it and im thinking this is what bruce wayne might drive when not in the batmobile.  Some different wheels would really seal the deal for me though.

Love it.
Looks great, the wheels are cool but I agree with Brandicus.

Now that's what I call murdered out!

love it.

looks nice again different wheels would set it off ...I have a friend that has a identical one ive been trying to talk him into doing something like this what suspension are you using??
 
Edit: I'm surprised someone hasn't tried to correct you saying it's not VIP because of the  platform haha

Interior is super bossy

theres really nothing "vip" about it imo but its a good looking cts.

it's a good looking CTS, and don't worry about labeling the car VIP style or not. You can take some hints from the VIP style and make it your own. just my opinion anyways

look aight...not feelin' the wheels...those houses are more VIP...

thats exactly what I was trying to do/say. I didn't mean for it to be labeled as a platform VIP car, I just took VIP aspects and applied them to my car and thought people on here might enjoy the American twist to it. I probably should have picked a better thread title though...my bad.

Vip-very important person....nothing more or less...jmho....

Here is another from my pic gallery....:biggthumpup:

Love to see it camber a bit, but I've never touched a CTS so I don't know what they're capable of.

Interior is bad ass.

Where did the photos go? :(

[QUOTE=infini;421650]Where did the photos go? :([/QUOTE]

they should be available to see, does anyone else have this problem?

Interesting I see them now. But on my iPad lol. It's all good. It's on my end.

wow great interior! i'd put some big dish wheels on there and camber it. would look great imo

Very clean interior came out nice I too would like to see a lil camber and some different wheels the current ones are pretty sporty...Id roll it though keep us updated on the progress and welcome to the spot

Here are some more updated pictures. If anyone has a suggestion on wheels let me know because I'm looking to buy some. Im trying to find something in gloss black, preferably a concave wheel, but I'm open to anything. I will not be applying any sort of camber to the wheels though.

I agree...the interior is fresh though.

I like how it looks...but I wouldn't label it VIP-Inspired.

Looks good. Ive been debating on getting a CTS and lowering it with some deep dish wheels. I just cant pull the trigger on a non reliable motor :(

my IS300 just hit 234,000 miles on original motor and tranny. Now if cadillac can claim that and prove it; i would be all over the CTS, DTS, STS.

Keep up the good work

I've got a friend that's about to put 20x11's on his cts. I'll post pics soon as he's done.

Looks sportier than VIP to me.  Doesn't look too bad I'm not one for the murder out look

props on the interior. I like the headliner.

New wheels!:dance:

^^^ that black line above the trunk is a wire that is bolted to the building... not a wing

I'd like to see something other than black on the wheels. The murdered out look is past IMHO and because everything else is all black they would really pop.
The concaves you have now are nice looking too tho.

DTS and STS are Northstars.... one of the most reliable motors ever built. I know multiples of them pushing 600k

Plus one.

Polished spokes would do wonders on those wheels.

I plan to paint the face of the wheels the same color as the car after I move.

looks good, i like :)

I did not know that. DTS is cheap, but might be hard to find aftermarket support.

sick!
