Anyways, the VIP style is not for the faint of heart. I am def running quite a bit of camber on my car.
I am asking for people to constructively critique my pictures not my car

The Z, the kit and the surroundings are very nice. For the sake of the car, I would raise the back a bit. You'll get more tire life and more rubber to the ground.

vip is a cool style it just when you too much it looks stupid. some of the vip cars look sick but then some take it to far. i think you car is nice but your rear is a bit to camber. i can appriciate the "look" but the rears need to be straighten a bit more less "vip".
lips are sick though. big fatty lips are always sick.

I think the VIP style looks better on sedan cars, but I guess this one is okay.
I just don't like that spoiler blocking a bit of the taillight from the rear quarter shot. Otherwise, you did a good job of capturing that VIP look. I personally don't like it, but it is done well.

I LOVE it more and more everytime i see it! is it daily driven at -9 degrees camber or is that only when you're stopped? i remember you had -6 degrees before.
either way, your car is sick, props for vip style

give me a breakkkk... I like negative camber an aggressive offsets, but anything in excess is not good my friend. It literally looks like your gana snap something. I understand the whole VIP thing, but you have a 30-35k sports car that wants to perform for you. When you turn the ignition, is your driving experience worth it ?? Looks like a constant pain in the a$$ to me.
... but hey the wheels are hot and so is the kit. The picture quality looks great as well. Keep up the good work !

I'll throw in my 2¢, but not about the camber, but the photos. I'd look for a better spot than just the side of the road. The pics are overexposed, or you might want to adjust the highlight levels. The highlights are blown. The car looks too white...UNLESS you wanted it to look this way. Really up to the end user to interpret how he wants the final pic to look.
These problems are nothing though, if you shoot in RAW. Easily adjustable.

I'm glad that not everyone likes it because like I have said, the style is not for all. I did not do the look because the Japanese do it, I did it because it's a style that I wanted to play with.
deviljon: Yeah I was at -7 actually but I added a bit more to clear some rear rubbing issues at full down. But I think I am going to back the rear tires out and probably go back to around -7 camber in the rear.
ctwentytwo: Thanks for the highlights tip. I'm not good with photo editing and trying to learn
Solopresident: Yup, Indian.
For all you doubters: If you think that the car still doesn't perform, all I can offer you is a ride in the car and for you to judge for yourself Can you guys honestly tell me that your foot is on the pedal all the time when you are driving? This car is a marketing vehicle not a track car. I don't understand why some people bring up the "performance" aspect when obviously that is not what this build is about.
P.S. I realize the rear wheel looks smaller than the front in some pictures. It was just a bad angle that's all. The wheel specs are as follows:
Front: 19x10, -4
Rear: 19x11, -16
P.P.S. Seemingly, it has become very apparent that there aren't many consulting type people on here. I guess those who say "that looks dumb" don't understand the concept of constructive criticism

I don't think its that bad. The style is definitely more of a VIP thing with that camber on the rear. Almost even borderline Boso style camber. All in all great shots, great location, and a unique car! Nice job!
