Bippu modifications and history has often been linked to the yakuza. It is claimed that bippu came to be due to the risk of gangsters riding around in high-profile European sedans like the Mercedes S-Class or BMW M-Class. The attention could either bring about police action or retaliation from rival gangs. By using Japan domestic market cars with modifications associated with the creation of limousines, gangsters could avoid detection by the police and rival gangs.
Automotive enthusiasts caught onto these modifications, and adapted beyond luxury sedans, utilizing minivans and Kei cars. One advantage presented to enthusiasts is that such modifications can make a car luxurious without being expensive.
search bippu @ google

Normally I hate this extreme look especially on a W124 but wow...I DO dig this one!!

I'd probably never do it but I would stare like crazy if it drove past....we all would.

MORE PICS of the whole car without the crazy photoshopping please!

Fair enough. Still not my cup of tea (and of course, that don't mean anything by itself). I just don't get it. I'd rather have the "go-go" than the "bling bling", I guess.

I noticed the moonroof and would love more information on it. Does it still open, tilt?

I have seen your car before, but am certainley glad to have you on the forums, welcome! How many hp and at what psi are you running with your vortech? As much as an e420? More? I am glad you decided to ditch the mesh grill, the s600 style suits your car far better. It it a carbon fiber one, or is the camera sparkling for some reason?

so how do you align the car with a varying suspension height ? every time you raise/lower it, you are changing camber and toe values.....

yes the sunroof still open normally

I have not had time to dyno test, my car has a heavy burden, so the maximum speed of only 150 km / hour ..

Thanks, on my grill provides genuine Swarovski from Austria, so be sparkling if exposed to sunlight or lights at night
