508boricua Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Hey guy's. Heres my Tamiya Aston Martin DBS V12. It's a little out of the ordinary for many to see a supercar VIP style but this car pulls it off nicely i think. It's painted British green and the wheels are custom set staggered using the stock wheels. Hope you guy's like it.
Grumpa Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Man Delfin...this is gorgeous! Great color! Beautiful build!
mrm Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Beautiful build, but not a fan of the wheels at all. And what is VIP style? As far as I know it is from Japan and it applies to luxury 4 door sedans. This is more "I just signed a rap contract" PIMP style. Please don't get offended by my opinion as that is all it is - an opinion.
Austin T Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Looks sharp. Never thought I'd hear "Aston Martin" and "Stanced" in the same sentence before,looks pretty good though.
krazyglu Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 I like the stance and the fact that you made custom wheel's...they just look a little big to suit the car. Generally speaking VIP style is luxury sedan's with custom high end interiors and massive camber ,but at any rate I like it. Keep stancing them and keep sharing picture's.

Please don't get offended by my opinion as that is all it is - an opinion. No offense taken. The style has trickled to everything from 240sx's to supercars and even vans. The wheels are the stock wheels that came with the car. All i did was add staggered lips and lower profile tire.
kilrathy10 Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Nice work, Man....I hope no one would actually do this to a DBS, but it looks good....
DeeCee Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 I like the way it sits, on its guts!, Color suits it, wheels are well done and the third pic down makes it look like the real thing.
am73grand Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Like it? I love it!!! I think it looks great nice job!
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Hard to beat a BRG Aston, any year, any style. This particular Aston is so sexy, clean and well integrated in its styling, I think it's one of the most perfect cars ever built. Though I'm usually not a fan of the "stanced" style with its extreme handling- and tire-destroying negative camber, I actually kinda like this one because it's not TOO extreme, and the factory wheel arches are pulled out just enough to work very well with the lowered-and-cambered look. Nice job.
Harry P. Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 How would a car whose wheels/tires are touching the fenders ever work? How would the steering or suspension work? Nicely done model, very nice and clean, great paint. Can't argue with the craftsmanship... but I guess I just don't get this style.
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) How would a car whose wheels/tires are touching the fenders ever work? How would the steering or suspension work? It wouldn't, but with really intense care in setting up the suspension and getting the wheel offsets EXACTLY right, plus shaving the lips from inside the wheel openings and possibly heavily modifying the inner wheel housings, it's possible to get ALMOST that much tight fit between the arches and the tires and still be able to drive the car in the real world. The rear suspension only has to go up and down, so depending on the arc described by the movement of the top of the tire during bump, it's possible to get something pretty close to the model in the rear. The front is the real tricky part, obviously, because the tire has to steer as well as move up and down to accommodate the suspension movement. The extreme camber on this setup is often a cheat, with the top of the tire leaned inwards just enough to actually clear the fender during movement. I've seen a few cars at shows that i thought couldn't possibly be driven because the fit was SO tight, but they fired up and cruised away...though usually slowly and carefully. This is the reason I'm not a fan of the style, though I like the low low look. All that excess negative camber ruins handling...which is one of the big things an Aston Martin is all about...and practical drivablilty is sacrificed just to get a static look. The idea that if a little negative camber is good, more must be better is just wrong, and comes from endless, mindless repetition of incorrect "knowledge" of vehicle dynamics. Obviously also, this much negative camber will wear all the rubber off of the inside edge of a tire in short order, which is a huge waste of money...again, just to get a fashionable look while the car is sitting still. All that said, I'm NOT criticizing the model. I think it looks great, and it's closer than most "stanced" models to representing what IS possible in the real world.
