    Two of my favorite VX's of all time (except my own, of course):

    NYC #1 Ironman's (sold about a year ago)



    I always liked this one because it was one the few highly modded Ironman models I've ever seen and it looks great. You can tell that A LOT of attention was paid to the small details, like every lens is either clear or smoked. Not underdone, and not overdone. Perfect!

    I couldn't find a picture of the other one because I can't remember whose it was - but it was a proton with a really awesome audio system with three subs in a fiberglass enclosure in the rear and proton yellow painted interior panels. There was only one like it, so I'm sure someone can refresh my memory.

    An honerable mention goes to LDUB (even though you've only been around the last couple of years, you've done a helluva job!)



    And there have been tons of other VXer's with skills in one area or another who have impressed me over the years. Let me take a moment to thank EVERYONE for their inspiration and support over the years. Thanks!!!
    Calmini Cone Air Filter, PowerVault PV2 Muffler, OME Trooper Springs, Rancho RS9000X Shocks, 285/75R16 Nitto Grappler AT's, Pioneer DEH P8000R In-Dash CD, Amps and Drivers Built by Orion, Wires and Fuse Blocks by KnuKonceptz, Vibration Damping by BQuiet, Alarm System featuring Auto Start and Remote Windows, Yakima LoadWarrior w/Full Size Spare, Debadged/Custom Titanium Grill Logo, Tint (5% Rear / 20% Front), Steel Braided Brake Lines, G2 Painted Calipers

    Thumbs up

    This one took a LOT of thought for me, as there are so many, & I know I've left some out...

    TONE, Transio, Destruction, JoFotoz, Cyrk, JollyRoger VX'er, Kpaske, M.Beach, Grampa Bob, Triathalete, WormGod, Joe Black, Jayphotoz, Biju, Nocturnal VX...the list could go on, but at this time of morning, probably not.

    Thanks to all mentioned & unmentioned (if you see one of your ideas used on my ride, thank yourself.)

    Wow, I am honored to see that my VX is an inspiration to a few of you. But, I must ask.... which one....



    ....or....



    Hehehehehe.... (sorry, I just LOVE to flash that nasty RIP Dragon Green as a reminder that these bad boys are extremely reliable!)

    New super duper improved pics coming soon. MANY new additions and she looks insanely different.

    I think everyone's VX is an inspiration to me. We all have our own mod preferences, from audio, video, performance, and visuals, and I love seeing everyone's handywork because it always gets me brainstorming and makes my wallet itchy. Keep up the great work EVERYONE!

    WormGod...
    The 1st one inspires me to drive more defensively (outright paranoia ?)

    The second one inspires me to wash-n-wax more often.

    i love the setup moncha has, at first glance looks almost stock but when you look closer you see the LEDs and caliper paint and the clear bra etc etc.. clean and functional

    Awww, now my head's gonna explode! Thank you very much!

    This IS a great thread..

    My inspiration is from all of you (and that little voice in my head ). I'm like Anita, I accidentally came across the Vmag forum and was introduced to a few of the senior members. I then was able to meet Tone. I was hooked, as I could see what I was going to be able to accomplish. I love the thought that there was no true aftermarket source available for the VX as that makes most of the modifications one of a kind and matching the individual personalities.
