What's up Black. (Avant' from VSC)

We're not rocking too many guys with VIPStyle'd KA9s. Most of them are/were on VIPstyle Cars. We've got a few LA Style and US Luxury styled Japanese KA9s (and some of the lightly modded VIP KA9s-aimgain and/or MP equipped versions). But that's about as far as we go as far as I know.

There's a few builds going on though, so it could be popping like Jiffy in a few.

check out this thread here.

JDM cool RL(LEGEND) pics

lol

I'm asking 19k for the Q45. That probably seems like a lot but luxury cars are worth a lot more here in Canada because not many were sold. It's the cheapest one in Canada! It went in autotrader today and its also on craiglist etc so hopefully it will sell soon.

Were you looking at a LS? I saw you over at Club Lexus

i second this statement. the ka9 is the official ''VIP UNDERDOG''. just once i want to see one grace the cover of a vip mag, but your lucky if you even see a small shot of one in the back pages somewhere.
why are they sleeping on this car? is it because its more of a challange to get crazy with offset on a front wheel drive, do they think that honda cant do luxury? or what ever they put they mind too for that matter...... they have there own robot!!!
to me it looks close to the ever so popular ls 400, but yet a gs 300, which is not a flagship and looks nothing like the ls 400 is widely used and accepted over the rl. i have seen too many riced out gs300's from the tuner scene to look at one with some type of strong ''vip'' presence now.
dont stop on your project now that you took it this far. we all gotta do this shit together. you asked for this pic on vsc. id rather give it to you on here instead. keep the rl bro.

sorry for ranting a bit guys, but you are all ka9fans here, do any of you think the same way?

thanks Where did you source the lip from!? I want to see how low it is compared to the stock sides!

Trust me I want to keep the RL. My fiance said it best when she first saw and said it has "presence." More so than some "VIP" cars. Its the FWD and V6 that hurts its status. I don't really care though when I am driving super low and low. I really do want to keep the RL and continue with it. I bought the Q45 primarily to flip but I thought I may change it up. I'm hoping it will sell soon. I've lowered my price and a friend is going to park it near his work where there is lots of people with money.

Yes I was looking at an LS. I wanted an LS430 instead of the F50 but they are just too pricey for their age.

Oh I've got a couple interviews this week that would mean a big jump in salary. If the Q sells and salary goes up I would love to go AIMGAIN to try and keep up with Max! Either that or a lip and paint the factory sides.
