VX - Before and After

[nfpgasmask]

OK, let's see some before and after shots of your VXes. You know, the day you got it VS what it looks like now. Should be kinda fun to see how we all have modded our whips.

I'll start.

EDIT: Found a photo of mine only a couple days after I bought it, still with dealer plates and bald tires!

After...4 1/2 yrs & 50k later, still runs strong, but showing signs of off-road use...:naughty:

(this one is actually a couple years old, but little has changed)

[nfpgasmask]

Yes, good fun seeing the transformations.

Worm, I tried and tried to find a pic of mine before I did ANYTHING to it, but I couldn't I have one more place to look for an even earlier shot of it, but as you can see in the above pic, I already de-badged and added the Weathertechs...

Keep em comin people!

I have to say, Richard, I've always loved the black racing stripes. Nice job. I would never have thought of doing something like that to a VX, but it looks killer. Now all you need is a lift and some black (like the teflon Mojaves) rims!! :yesy:

Sliders...

Who's sliders are these? Stric9, Rocky Road, somebody else? Looks nice...

[kodiak]

Thanks, I’m trying to keep kind of a rally theme going. I just finished some interior mods that I’m going to post later. I was thinking of doing a lift maybe early next year.:cool:

[taylorRichie]

Awesome idea for a thread!!
http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/500/vxBeforeAfter.jpg

Took one visit to moab to realize what I needed to do... Bought my VX in Mid April 2008, went to Moab in May, bought the parts shortly after, and finished up in Early June.

:)

Not as pretty now as it was in the first "After" pics... Now the wheels have seen some "Use"

Those are the Stric9 sliders...not only good looking but they also work very well!:cool:

That, and removing the trees from the passenger side (less tree sap? :p )

and taylorRichie - WOW! Nice mods! Your VX looks particularly badass with that wheel/tire combo.
