Yeah, its pretty easy to remove the outside badges. Its the stitched "Ironman" logo that is in the front seats that give it away.
For the record:
1) All Ironman VXs are white
2) All White VXs are Ironman
3) A white VX is an Ironman Edition, and an Ironman Edition VX is white.
No white VXs are non-Ironman. No Ironman Editions are non-white. If it says "Ironman", it's white, and if it's white, it may or may not say Ironman on the outside, but it definitely should say Ironman on the seat, unless the seats were changed out at some point...but it's still technically an Ironman.
To sum up: Ironman = white, and white = Ironman.
Please let me know if you have any questions. But if the questions are about the color of the Ironman Edition, I'll tell you upfront: it's white.
PS: And if it's white, it's the Ironman Edition. In case I wasn't clear before.
What if it's white, without Ironman badges, but has Ironman floormats??
Is that an Ironman VX?

Dang...I should've been more clear!
All Ironman VXs BEGAN life Victory White.
They may have been sprayed later...
And even the debadged ironman VXs with Ironman floormats should also have the Ironman seats.
I'm pretty sure I saw victory white VX on autotrader with standard badges and without Ironman badges where they expect to be (including seats!). So, I think there are few non-Ironman white VXs around.Originally Posted by PHO2GR4
Anyway, the best Ironman is Ironman repainted into Proton :-)
2001 Isuzu VehiCROSS (build in progress): 4JX1/A340/part time, 2" body lift, front Aisin hubs, rear Aussie Locker, 4.56 gears, OEM rear sway bar disconnect, AirFlow snorkel, cabin air filter
1980 Jeep Cherokee (assembling): 1.5" body lift, TBI, HEI
1987 AMC Eagle: stock
I had an Ironman, could tell where the decals where when I got it and the seats did NOT say IRONMAN!
The price you pay to be different......
I know i seen my self in person couple white ones with no badges or seat stitching i got Ironman edition my self and i know where to look and how its looks like, i don't see any one in the right mind to pay extra $1000 for Ironman edition and to go and remove all the badges and replace the seats and so on it just doesn't make any sense
So i guess no one really knows the real count of the Ironman editions made and by installing the seats and stickers on your VX is not making it real Ironman (clone) unless you have original window sticker or docs to prove it, if any one know real facts Please let me know and try not to guess Thank you
From watching the various VX forums through the years, a great number of Ironmans were debadged early in life. I've seen here several ironman owners who have purchased regular emblems from others' discards. I have never seen nor heard of a white VX purchased new in the U.S. that was not an Ironman edition, except for the Pearl.

What she said.
Regardless of whether or not a previous owner debadged or de-deated, the Victory Whites were all sold originally in the USA as "Ironman".
They came stock with the roofracks and special floor mats and seats. Otherwise, they are the same as the other colors.

According to an article on edmunds.com about the VX, Isuzu planned for 20% of its 2000 MY production to be Ironmans. Assuming they adhered to that plan, most, if not all, of the 96 Victory White models built that year would have been Ironmans, as 20% of the total production of 803 would have been almost twice that number.
If you are only interested in "real facts" maybe you should contact Isuzu...
