    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:

    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.

    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!

    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,
