First time, long time

hey everyone. Im from the mean streets of Philly... lol nah but it is dirty around here, last place for a VIP car, expecially the streets. Im originally a lowrider/hotrod guy, then i got into the whole stance scene... but after realizing all u gotta do is roll fenders, slam car, get wide wheels, stickerbomb... i lost respect for it. but..... VIP cars are still true to my heart, all the detail and work put into some of them, especially clubs like Liberty (philly members represent!) almost remind me of the style and tasteful class of old school lowriders, except now its leather and suede instead of velour plush and mirrors lol.

anyway, i have a very odd VIP planned car, a 2007 Hyundai Azera Limited. v6 3.8l. Its my daily, and im having a baby in a few weeks, so i aint going to airbag it or put coilovers on it... just got it tinted and plan on some mild VIP wheels. I already want to make it KDM conversion (Korean lol) over there, its called the Hyundai Grandeur, but i been trying to find the one middle taillight piece that has the Grandeur lettering, instead of my Azera lettering. its chrome lettering, but unfortunately their etched in the taillight piece haha i know this sounds minute and ridiculous, but whatever havin a lil fun with it. anyway, heres a pic of my car, then a pic of a VIPed out one i found online. PEACE

oh and by the way, shopping for Korean VIP parts or Grandeur parts its close to impossible!

thanks man, yeah i actually decided i want the G37 OEM Enkei 19" rims for this. They kinda look like the original rims i have now, which are 17s. and it will be more of a factory/luxury look. plus the bigger rims will still be light cause their enkeis. this is what they look like...
