Looks great - all you need are some tires! Oh, there they are...
heh zeus.. my thoughts exactly.. my g/f was lookin at the pics over my shoulder and said i feel like that vx is missing something but i cant figure out what... i said "tires" she says oh yea u know youre right!.. wait you can just drive on rims can you?.. then i pointed out the rubber bands heh..
lizardmen.. it does look good though, very clean i like it! maybe get a lift on there and beef up your tires a hair, so far youve done some nice work though keep it up.. what did u do w/ your hood insert? its nice and dark and smooth looking
I repainted it then gloss it with some high quality durable paint. I think it turnt out awesome. You red my mind i am gonna lift in bout 3 inchs in a few months then get me some bigger tires that is all it could handle for now though. :) There not to bad for rubber bands. I cant wait to lift though and get some meat on those boys to protect them better. Thanks for compliments.
Repainted professionally (or spray painted?)? Did you also painted the cladding? Looks great! I also agree on the tires. Congrats!
Looks like Hotwheels collectible toy :)
wow!looks great but are you going to paint ur cladding bolts so they show or are u going to leave them the way they are?O and is that a rough ride with the rubber bands?

Nice 'short bus' you got there! (that's what my friends call my proton. lol)
unlike most ^ I like the summer shoes! if it were me tho, i'd make sure i had another set to run winter/off road.
nice work. she's purdy.
-beej.
LOOKS NICE. For sure hotwheelish. You do know you had more room to spare to put a little more rubber on those rims right? I have 20's and have 265/55-20 tires. Those look near 245/40????
Yep, only a matter of time before I rang in....

Nuff said, hehehe.
Looks clean. Keep it up. My only negative is.... well, you can probably guess. ;)
The rims and wheels are 295/35/22's Unlike most people think they ride great for being so thin also improved my MPG by 1 or 2 a gallon. I do have 2 sets one for summer and other for winter. It was professionally painted and it is triple coated and garunteed for 3 years. They said it should last a long time though. Couldnt make up mind if i wanted to keep black or go to yellow or silver so i said ill think bout it for a bit cause it only takes 10 seconds to take all them out with power star key drill :) Like i said i do plan on lifting then putting some more tire on the rim. But for now it is good. It cuts very close now i couldnt of gottan any bigger without trimming. Many more future Mods to come. ;)
If you don't mind...How much the paint job cost you? I'm planning on doing the same and want to know what is reasonable or not....
Thanks,
I knew the guy so i got a break. He did it all for 300.00. Which is prolly half the price someone will charge you if you dont know them. From start to finish and in my opinion it was worth every penny. It took bout 22 hours of labor to tear it all apart and put back together it was a real pain. There are hundreds of bolts,screws,rivets, etc on every corner lol. I would deff do it if i was you.
