To the OP: It seems like you are on the right path. The black one you posted appears to be a lip kit. Use yahoo japan auctions to find a kit, search using Belta since that is what they are called there. There are several companies that will bid on it for you and ship it to you for a fee. To be VIP can cost sometimes but the end result is priceless. I miss my VIP xB alot so I am going the same route with my Yaris Sedan.
Please don't call that kit VIP. From my knowledge XXR doesn't make a VIP styled wheel. They make a low offset wheel but VIP is more than just super flushness.
As to why people don't use the $289.00 kit, you have to spend upwards of $1k to get it to remotely fit right and look decent. Might as well spent $1200 on a kit that fits right in the first place. Yes there are kits that BOLT ON without modifications as I have assisted in installing several! You get what you pay for. I tried the ebay kit route as well once, it will be the last. I am not saying all kits from ebay are crap, there are exceptions to every rule.
Back to OP: I would start with the stance (suspension and wheels). What kind of wheels are you looking for?
Also I know I am new to the forum so no one really knows my style of response. The above response is not to bash anyone but to assist in educating, if I offended anyone I apologize. :-)

This isn't a VIP style rim?
All I know is, there are abunch of cars around here using those wheels and they consider themselves to be in the "VIP" group. Not my cup of tea.
And I was only showing him that ebay body kit to give him options on kits in general for the sedan (since there aren't many options). It's obvious that the kit I showed him would be crap (ebay kit).
Thanks though for trying to be the next tamago. I'll be looking forward to your future postings....
