Lexus LS430/Toyota Celsior VIP Style [NOM]
Hello again!
Long time since I posted a chop, but I'm finally back lol.
Been working on and off on this project for...uuum... ages (probably started in may).
Some of you might be familiar with the "VIP" scene, for those of you that aren't here are some useful links.

Usually VIP is all about big, low, RWD Japanese luxury sedans (both old an newer models) with "subtle" kits and deep rims, usually with some negative camber (obviously there are exceptions).
"VIP" has also been associated with the Yakuza (Japanese Mafia), but nowadays that usually ain't the case.

Anyhoot, about the chop. I chose the Lexus LS/Toyota Celsior because I've always loved the looks. It also happens to be one of the most common "VIP cars".
The obvious mods are brushed, but I also used some c&p (the "custom made" winscreen/window reflections, hood ornament, plate and rims). Still a couple of areas I'm not completely satisfied with, but I did my best :(
I also want to thank all the people who recieved WIPs and helped me during this time :)
