Balance of Style: The Minimalist Approach to VIP Car Design

GRS180 series Crown in natural VIP style

“Babu-chan” is the owner of a Toyota GRS180 series “Crown” all painted in Majora Midnight Purple. She is surrounded by many friends with high levels of customization, and several of them have won dress-up car contests. Surrounded by such cars, one would expect her to escalate in the same extreme direction as her friends, but her preference is for a “natural VIP style.

Love at first sight for the complete model

She was not interested in overdressed customization in the first place and preferred a sports VIP taste that could be casually asserted if she were to make it her car. With this in mind, I started looking for a car with an acquaintance, and when we visited ALESS, a famous custom store in Aichi Prefecture, I fell in love at first sight with my current car, a Toyota GRS180 series “Crown”. He said that this was the VIP car that he had been looking for, and he was given it to him specially.

This GRS180 series Crown was already built as a complete model by Ares, and the exterior is equipped with Ares’ original aero “Roselle” series front and rear bumpers, which have a simple and unassuming design.

The natural VIP style royal road expression method is fascinating

The design emphasizes the ducts while clearly distinguishing it from the factory bumper, giving it a sporty appeal. The feature of this aero part is that it is remade in a way that does not destroy the beautiful lines of the factory bumper. It can be said that keeping the factory press line is the royal road to the expression of “natural VIP style.

“Babuchan” is particular about the ride height, believing that it is meaningless if the car cannot be driven in that condition. In recent years, air suspension systems have been widely used in the VIP car industry, but many owners who are particular about driving have suspension sets with coilover kits and arms changed in style. This customization method is commonly referred to as “raw suspension,” and this is exactly what she has chosen to do. The handling of the car was very responsive.
