New member from Chicagoland

Hi, the name is Vinh. i reside in Northwest Indiana but work in downtown Chicago 6 days a week. I'm a 22 year old Vietnamese male. I'm married and have 2 babies, a boy (20 months) and a girl (4 months). I own an 8th generation Accord sedan moderately modified. I've been into the VIP scene for quite some time but as of recently, I have been making plans to switch from basic lowered/stanced to the bippu style.
 
Before I got my car I didnt even know how to change a tire. Now I can weld, retrofit headlights, custom wire, and custom body work. I'm a DIY kind of guy and I want to imply every bit of my skills into the more detailed styling of VIP.

welcome. it's a bunch of du ma's in here so you'll fit right in. :innoutrofl2:

where the pix at?!

Welcome...from the south of Indiana!

I wasnt sure if I was suppose to start the thread here or in the introductions. Saw that new fish could only post in VIP 101 so I assumed here. Also, I have a 20% discount + free shipping on retrofit kits and HID kits with TheRetrofitSource. I gather them customers and give the community a helping hand. I get no money out of it. I dont know if I'm allowed to even endorse them on these forums. Not trying to be a vender. Just think of my TRS hookup as a coupon lol.

sorry, I cant speak viet. Born and raised near white people lol

spam bro.

I totally knew that >.>

DUDE! One of your pics is at one of my meets i think, Stretch Your Legs meet? I'm Vegas, also live in NWI

Yeah, the one with the slammed skateboards lol.

Welcome Vinny Vinh.

Thanks!

what part of NWI? i have a lot of fam that lives all throughout there. in all of my years on this earth i seen 1 azn person out in that area and she worked at southlake mall...she was cute though. which is more than i can say for most of the other girls that live out that way lol.

Lmao. Schererville, IN. I see plenty enough Asians in NWI. Slowly taking over

I wouldn;t say its LARGE in NWI but definitely growing :D

Vegas, SYL6 tells me otherwise

SYL 6 was chicago and NWI lol the cruise to the city had maybe 20 cars from indiana. MAYBE

Nvr said nwi, said our community is growing in the scene. Didnt necessarily say nwi. Besides, nwi is considered chicagoland. :)

Welcome to the boards it's always good to have another DIY guy around :biggthumpup:

Thanks. Currenty working on my interior and redoing my audio/video
