Hello everyone from Florida!

I'm currently in Afghanistan but I'm almost done with this B.S. and I'll be heading home soon. I sold my car before I left state side because I figured I would just buy one when I get home. Right now I'm looking at different options but the more and more I look at the VIP scene the more I like it. The main thing I like it how stylish and elegant these cars come out once you guys are almost done with them. I'm from the tuner scene but I'm 30 years old and my wife told me that is time I grew up from that LOL so I figured I would take her advise. I'm looking forward to meeting new people in here and learning more about what VIP is all about.

Oh I forgot, my last car was a 2003 G35 Coupe that I really miss and I'll always miss it.

HAAH!! I WAS IN THE SAME BOAT AS YOU!!!! and im also from south florida!!! my build thread starts just like this!!

i recommend buying a 98 LS! you can find them for a reasonable price with still really good paint! so all you will need is wheels and coilovers or bags =)

Thanks for what you do, Cuban and I are both in the military so we can relate! I know what it's like coming back from deployment...$$$. Do some research on the vehicle you want and then research what kind of mods you want / need to do in order to achieve the look you want. For instance, these nissan guys seem to have to do a lot of suspension mods to get the look they want. They pretty much swap out parts from various nissan chassis to achieve their stance. Start with the right platform for you and everything should fall into place from there.

Cuban, I was actually looking at a 99 LS and a 98 LS but I might go with the 99 because is white. The 98 is black and my last car was the same color is it's a bitch to keep clean. I have never owned a white car before so I figured I'll try something new. I know how I want to do with my next car but the more I look at some of the cars here the more I know I'm not going to keep simple and clean like I want it. We'll see I guess.

well if you already somewhat familiar with nissan, a Y33 wouldnt be a bad idea! i think the most important thing is that you buy what you REALLY want! honestly i dont like white cars! do a murdered out VIP platform!

I'm actually looking at a lot of different options but the more research I do, the more I like the LS over all the other platforms. I'm still keeping an open mind for when I'm getting ready to buy.

The more I look at this style the more I'm loving it. I was actually thinking about doing a full murdered out LS on air but I'm sure it has been done here before. Either way I'm sure it would look nice as hell.

Thank you
