First mod to your vip car?

my first vip mod will be air suspension. took me 2 months to save up and im finally gonna have it done this summer. im gonna be rolling on stock wheels for another 2 months until i get some decent staggered wheels.

just wondering if your first mod was suspension or wheels? or even a body kit? how long did it take you guys to complete your vip project?

I havent done anything yet but I would say:
First is suspension, second body kit, and third wheels. Reasoning behind this is the suspension and body kit will determine how aggressive you can go with the wheels, I think.

I got Suspension first. Lowered cars always look great. Well with the right stance.

I got wheels first, which was not my plan. I was planning to do a static drop.


Not a Vip car, but following same formula.

I had "19s until I got a can't pass deal on some "20s! The "20s fill the wheel well alot better IMO. But to answer your question no.....It's aout the same. I'm waiting for my upper pillow mounts to come in then I can lower the front a inch more. Here's a pick of the 19s and 20s fully dumped.

I went with wheels and springs first. If you want to go with wheels first, atleast get some springs to get rid of the 4x4 look. Body kit with no wheels = gay.

Suspension/Wheels should always be your very first mods....they give the car a solid base to start with.
