Got my VX!

I just got my first VX. Its Ebony and I already made some modifications to it.
Debadged, painted the wheels black,painted calipers red, installed a 2-10" sub box at the rear, upgraded the speakers, installed back up sensors. Soon ill install a dvd, nav unit with back up camera. The only problem is that the windows bind and move slowly when raised up and the check engine light is on.
Here are some pics:

GRATS,,,,,,,,:grino:

i like the look of the wheels in black, how'd you paint them?

Welcome

The wheels were painted using duplicolor engine spray can paint. That will do for now until I can get my hands on some konig countersteer. I also have plans to fabricate a custom turbo system for it soon.

Looks great! Love the Black on Black look... Still think I might do that one of these days. Congrats and enjoy.

Another mid atlantic-er.

Congrats!

Welcome to the club! Don't fret about the windows, there are multiple threads posted about that same problem so it's a common VX bug-a-boo, lucky dog about getting the roof rack!

Congrats & welcome to the family.

Yeeeesssss, Ebony is the way to go. The wheels look good. Did you just blast them with spray paint or something more high-tech? I am curious about how long they will last that way.

Welcome,

Bart

:_drool:

good looking ride.

I got my engine light on too,but it seems to being the gas cap,the canister or either some wiring problem at the exhaust system,not a big deal.
Thankfully my warranty covers all that stuff.

However you can hit any autozone where they'll run check engine light diagnostic at no cost to you.

Good luck buddy,enjoy your new toy :p

hey let me know how good does the rim paint work and for how long it last you

Hey dood... How're ur rims holding up? Are they still nice and black or is there fading, chipping, stripping...? Cuz I'm planning on an upgraded look for the bee.
