The Odd Culture of VIP

This Japanese car culture has some very weird cars which most people think are stupid, but for the people who own them they love them because of how customised they are. This odd culture is called VIP or Bippu and I will be taking an in-depth look on the cars that surround this culture.

When you look at a VIP car they are slow, low and not that functional. But the people who build them don't care. They love the stance car look but with a big 80’s or 90’s sedan. They can redo the interior, to make it super luxurious, (to even Rolls Royce spec sometimes). These super luxury interiors usually include TVs, sliding trays, mini fridges and many other fancy things.

These Bippu cars also take design cues from stance cars. The big sedans are always lowered with either a lowering spring or bagged suspension. They also add lots of camber just like stance cars with stretched tyres and t big aftermarket wheels that finish the look. Most VIP cars are in plain colors like grey, black, and white with side skirts and front and rear lips to make the car way more aggressive looking.

any cars make good VIP cars, but most of the them are the Toyota Century, Celsior, Aristo, Crown and from Nissan you the President Cima and Cedric. These are mainly 80’s’s and 90’s’s sedans but there are many more that can be converted but these cars are what started the culture and look the best for the style.

The owners of these cars don't care about their engine, they don't care that their car scrapes everywhere because it's so low. These are show cars which are meant to look good, but not go fast around a corner, or in a straight line. They are meant to make the person who built it happy. That’s what the VIP car culture is all about.

These cars are different and I love them for that. What started out as some Japanese gangsters wanting to trick out their cars has turned into a super cool car culture. These cars get a lot of hate but the builders ignore them because that's what they love doing, building cars that stand out.
