Why do VIP cars have to be certain makes/models? And who wrote these rules? I'm sure when they first started the whole scene it was to be different... So why now do you have rules to follow? Thats.

or for the main nitty gritty read this (from /\ article)
VIP Style or VIP car is very simple. Pronounced VIP or bippu not vee-eye-pee, like how we are used to saying it, but it is pronounced like a word. In Japan there is a large variety of luxury sedans available to purchase. VIP car starts with just that, the platform or the car. It’s not a VIP Car unless it starts with one of these cars. From Toyota, you have the Century, Celsior, Aristo, Crown, and Majesta. From Nissan you have the President, Cima, Gloria, Cedric, and the Q45. Then they take these platforms and merge on a massive body kit, larger rims that push the boundaries of offset fitment, an air suspension so that they can drive as low as they possibly can, and we can't forget about the exhausts that goes on these VIP Cars. Now, taking these aspects of a VIP Car, you then apply it to cars not accepted as a VIP Car. This in turn created a term I like to define as VIP Style Cars. There is a difference in Japan in regards to a VIP Car and lets say a K-Car or Style Wagon. All those styles bring up similar aspects of VIP Car but what makes a VIP Car “VIP” is the car itself. Taking the aspects that was started in Japan with the VIP Cars and merging them onto cars that aren't really considered VIP car platforms. You now see K-cars (Vitz, Scion, and other econo-box cars), vans (Oddessy and Previas) and many other vehicles (G35, IS300, 300Zs) with a heavy VIP Style influence. That also has trickled into our US market with the Scions xA and xB. European cars can fall within the “definition of a VIP car” but isn't as popular of a platform mainly because of an untold requirement. VIP Car has a sense of pride within the Japanese community on its luxury vehicles. However, I am now seeing shows like the Tokyo Special Import Car Show similar to Tokyo Auto Salon now being invaded by Junction Produce, Fabulous, and Auto Couture. When they build their car, they immense themselves in the culture of VIP Car… Noburi Flags, clothing, and getting EVERY accessory that the company made like lighters, teddy bears, fans, and other things.
you got to remember that part of the VIP (bippu) car evolved from Bozosuku cars.

Why do you have to have rules to follow? Because if you didn't then the term VIP would mean nothing. What it sounds like you are saying is that VIP is anything slammed on big chrome wheels. You are still imposing rules, they are just more lax than the actually definition.Why do VIP cars have to be certain makes/models? And who wrote these rules? I'm sure when they first started the whole scene it was to be different... So why now do you have rules to follow? Thats
Noone said you can't put chrome 20's on a slammed Z but it will never be VIP. The whole point of VIP is to overaccentuate the luxury look and feel. You think a yakuza boss is gonna roll around in a tiny two seater Z? Read a little of the history and you will understand why some cars can never be called VIP.
