sell it and get a VIP car :)

Not trying to be rude, but that is the easiest way to get started in the right direction, as the civic will always struggle to truely grasp the look and feeling normally associated with vip style. However, a strong focus on wheel size / offset and very low suspension will start you in the right direction. As you continue on, I would stray away from aero that appears sporty or aggressive. Also, attention to detail is a must with a platform like the civic. Perfect paint and body and an extremely clean interior with nice leather will assist in your effort to create a vip styling with your car. Last, but certainly not least, I would work as hard as possible to stay away from most anything sporty. Canister mufflers, racing seats, spoilers, huge tach, etc will only confuse the styling of the car.

Summary; low, wide, aggressive executive.

Welcome to VSC :thumbsup:

dude! i dont think they have any VIP platforms in the phillippines

Welcome Joey. It will be challenging to get this done with a civic especially with what is available in the Philippines. The best car to work with would be the Honda Jazz. Interesting enough they also have the new Previas/Hiaces. Check your PM.

Honda Jazz w/ Noblesse kit

i'd fuck with the jazz dude, i see too many civics in the P.I.

Welcome! If you would like to vip style your Civic, by all means. In the Philippines, I would start out with a Cefiro Brougham. They will look as close to a VIP car as you can get.

Welcome!! 

I was gonna say, my "future brother-in-law" owns a crown in the Philippines.:smiley:

The Nissan Teana is a big luxury car.  But its still front wheel drive.  They have that in the PHILIPPINES 

Welcome by the way, My wife is full blood Pinay.  She was born in Cagayon.

Last time I was in the Philippines was this past Christmas, I doubt they sell them there, but I saw a white Cedric at Alabang Town Centre. I was like "Whoa! Where'd that come from?"
