Jones Deville

I bought it the day before Black 2.  The story behind it, I needed to rent a van to bring all the trophies, show display, wheel booth.  Since I would have to rent it on a friday and the rent a place closes on Sunday, I would have to pay for the whole weekend (around $500 for the 3 days).  F*ck that!  Next plan was to buy a van.  I sat in a Previa and was dead set on doing a vip style wagon.  At the end of the day, it just wasn't me.  I can appreciate them when they are done up but its not a van I would personally want to drive around stock for 6-8 months.

I followed my gut and got a Deville.  I was contemplating getting one for years and figured this was the best opportunity to do so.  The trunk is huge and so is the interior which is what I needed.

I ordered a few misc things here and there for it.  Plans include air, custom kit, grill, headlight retro and some 22" Luxury Abstracts.  Dont let the number scare you, It will lay on the duces.

p.s. this is my favorite car I have ever driven.  I look for potholes

^Aired up.

The car is like 7" longer than the LS460L.  It takes 22's well.  The stock 16's with tires are taller than a 235/30/22  Check this out (keep in mind its not kitted, just stock)

The car is from Hawaii and it looks pretty clean.  The front does not get lower though from what I been seeing.  We will have to cut it up to get an extra 3-4"" out of her.

i rode in one of those once ..felt like i had triple down goose pillows under my ass.

ride comfort is definitely smooth as a mutha.

I definitely feel like a taxi driver in it lol but I love it.

congrats srsly.  big caddy fan and even bigger lincoln fan.

Kewl I always wanted to see one of these VIP inspired......Gl with the project

dope dude, can't wait to see your crazy ideas coming alive in your head and you catch the bug and go apeshit vip modding on this bitch!

Idk about the 22"s i would rather see 20"s on it ....but I will wait n see how you pull it off

Thanks guys.

20s just look too small IMO.  I am considering 21s but I would hate to wait a week if a tire was to blow.  22" tires are now common in just about all the 24 tire shops around here.

Here is a 20" wheel

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/GuErr0/2k2DTS_rims010.jpg[/IMG]

exact lac i would have bought. pearl white deville ftw. i agree on 20s. the car is big but the arches aren't cut like other cars (lx platform for example) that hold 22s well. 20s on stock suspension isn't a good representation of what 20s dumped would look like, but you knew that. i always pictured one on 20" ratzingers. only thing that sucks is cv joints will be busting on a regular if you drive low unless you go super custom. on that note the 22s look a little more appealing because you could sit it up mildly dropped and look baller, then hardpark it. i expect some tubwork will be in order to actually lay.

Nice pickup,I'm glad the boycott is over..

I look forward to seeing this & the Q45 on the streets..

^Running a business alone is not cheap.  Had to get my priorities straight.  I'll be back in 2012

Mike, everytime I search slammed deville, I get pornos and get side tracked for about 5-10 minutes.  I seen one lowered on 20's but need to continue searching.  And yes, tub and a radius is for sure.  Keep in mind how short the front bumper/side skirts are.  With a kit, I will gain about 2"

I can dig it,that's why I said I look forward to seeing both whips on the streets next season..

hope to see at least one car finished !! :P

This should be interesting... get it done...

f50 first, then this.

Damn bout time someone did one of these!! Subscribed!!

Be warned..do not neglect services on those cars and keep an eye on the oil and coolant levels..The engines are very advanced and many shops are afraid to work on them

[QUOTE=BigMone;424473]Be warned..do not neglect services on those cars and keep an eye on the oil and coolant levels..The engines are very advanced and many shops are afraid to work on them[/QUOTE]

You're not kidding.  I keep dex-cool in the trunk from now on cause of a couple of close encounters.  It over heated on me twice.  I put some stuff in the oil to rejuvenate the gaskets and changed the thermostat, did a radiator flush and have been good since.  Other than that, it has been running smooth

Here we go again, another project in the making (MobStyle) =) i wana see the Q finish but now the question is which one of the three projects will be done for 2012??

The Q is going to take a while to finish and more money.  I rather get some work on the Caddy done so I have a car to roll around with.  Thats not to say I am going to take it easy on it but my focus is the Q so I am just going to worry about suspension, wheels, re-paint the bumpers, and accessories for the Caddy for now.

This is the wheel I am going with on the Caddy.  Most likely 22" step lip Luxury Abstract Mador

looks dope. Like I said before.. I cant think of another wheel I would rather buy when I move up in the higher coach work builds of cars. And that wheel there I would rock on any Phantom or Corniche

I know this car will come out sick! IMHO I would rock 20s with some whitewall vouges keep the roots lol. Subscribed

Thanks, I appreciate that.  That is the look I was aiming for.  I drew inspiration from a Bentley wheel but changed it up so much where it looks nothing like the inspiration.

Thanks.  I really want to do whitewalls too but if you get a flat and have to rock a non whitewall, it will look out of place and they are not cheap at all to where I can stock them in the backyard.  Believe me, I have the worst luck and think about every situation lol.

juice it!

Nice! I can't wait till you start the mods.

Khan, I bought the car for the trunk space.  I rather do air.  I got everything minus the bags waiting for it.

Thanks Jimmy,  My door handles come in tomorrow and some little misc stuff.  I'm going to save up and get a kit then I will take it from there.  It will be done by the Liberty BBQ for sure

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... cant wait to get me some mador :no homo:

door handles you say?

[QUOTE=BigMone;426170]door handles you say?[/QUOTE]

Yeah.  Didn't think anyone would care so I didn't post pics.  Just got them on the other day.  They are sick, I highly recomend them.  I got them off ebay for cheap.  But if the price is too cheap, they are plastic so always double check the fine print (these are stainless steel and under $100 shipped)

Bad pic and I didn't have time to wash the car.  They make the car look much better in person.  The install was super easy (clean the handles, remove double sided tape from the new handles, stick on and wait 10-15 sec)

Not really VIP but [url]http://dirtypenguin.wordpress.com/2011/09/15/crabby-patty/[/url]

Nice, that is one of the best ones I seen.  Thats nice short term motivation.  I think the rim size is just right.  The car is very big.  The front bumper and sides are real short vertically.  All it needs is a lip kit (would have to be custom) or kit and the wheels would look even better.  

You can pass that for vip style anyday as its a big body luxury car acting like a luxury car vs some other platforms that are small to midsize luxury sport cars trying to be large luxury cars.  Better wheel choice would make a huge difference though on perception

Madors look sick, I think they beat out the Chaos' for me.

Another pic of the Mador's.  Hottest wheel of 2012 without seeing one wheel from 2012 lol.

[IMG]http://luxuryabstract.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/side.jpg[/IMG]

Got a PS to show you guys.  Check it out

[IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y170/aedprix/deville.png[/IMG]

Getting the front that low will be a bit of a challenge but its our goal.  The wheels are scaled to be 22"

That looks amazing.

WOW that is beast! I think with the color match bridges and maybe also matching inner barrel would be sick.

Wow 
That's a REALLY nice wheel

agree with everybody else, something you don't see everyday, looks really good.
 please no fusa :)

Picked up 3 bumpers over the past few days.  Need to get 2 more when its all said and done.

Projectors, rear view mirror pendant and my license plate frame from Luxury Abstract

[IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y170/aedprix/1222011615.jpg[/IMG]

The bumper will hang about 1.5" higher.  These Deville bumpers are shorter than some mini trucks.  Time to change that

Mador looks awesome with the step lip

Shits going to be cool

No doubt this is going to be intense. Everything Agi does is intense. I'm still not sold on the 22" idea, but I'll watch it and see what happens.

Thanks guys.  The mouth portion of the deville bumper to the bottom of the bumper is a good 2" shorter than every other car on the road.  Once kitted and the bumpers/sides sit 4" lower, 22's won't even tuck and it will look bigger than a Sclass.  It's 6" longer than the LS460L but you don't get the feel for that since the bumpers are so small.  Everything is here, just waiting on wheels and my front struts

:biggthumpup:

I NEED to see this... Ever since I was set on doing a vip car, I always wondered, "What if we didn't get rid of mom's DeVille..." I'm sure I would have attempted this, but come no where near what your plans are. Excited for this build.

Luxury Abstract Projectors?! what?!!??!?!! :runcoold:

Thanks guys.

Panda, they will be for sale soon.

XLR-V wheel

Wood grain with the leather seats, Windows so dark you need a flash light to see me

Any plans on the headlights?
 
I swear I saw a new Escalade with crazy projector headlights, like they had 7 projectors or something. 
 [URL]http://caddyinfo.com/wordpress/?tag=cadillac-escalade-esv-platinum[/URL] 
I'm wondering now what the newer headlights look like on the newer Devilles...knowing your track record you've got something up your sleeve in that department...

The escalade Hybrid headlights are very sick but are too big.  I could probably fit 2 or 3 max vertical led projectors in there.

I picked up some new headlights to start the retro.  We will be using the Luxury Abstract projectors.  I want to modify the housing and add LED boards but no design is set in stone yet.  There will be no amber in the lights

[IMG]http://libertyvip.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/1222011610a.jpg[/IMG]

Here is the custom Front bumper mock up.  The front of the stock bumper is actually higher than the side skirts.  I plan to get some side skirts that lay a few inches shorter so everything lines up when all said and done.  I'm going for a modern Japanese vip style look

This reminds me of that Mode Parfume STS!

Doing the same on my E66. Nice choice considering how they look with the factory trim
