SAS, "super long coil springs" that stick into the body in rear and out the hood up front (as seen on rock crawlers/Baja racing applications), red-orange-yellow color changing paint, 36" boggers, powerful diesel, snorkel.

2001 Ironman Daily Driver... 3.5" suspension lift (OME912 springs and 1" spring spacer), ball joint flip, 1.5" front diff. drop, 33"x12.5 TrXus MT, 16x10 Eagle Alloy rims, Interceptor, PV muffler, K&N air filter, Alpine Supercharger, Bilstein shocks, and some trimming.
2000 Ironman Project LS-1 VX... very slow progress but someday....... ohhhhh someday......
Pay someone to design and build a full-face grille-guard like the defunct trailready design & add exo-skeleton tubing that complements the exterior with a mild suspension lift and off-road tires & wheels so that the VX looks like it belongs on safari in Jurrassic Park! Then I would buy some ghost-busting equipment and put the Ghostbusters symbol on my doors and hire myself out to investigate hauntings in my spare time with my version of the Ecto-1!

Put in a V8 (Northstar maybe?) and fix my passenger door.
Most people would probably get rid of theirs if money were TRULY no object. I've thought about this though, I would definitely keep mine. Mooncraft body kit (modified to get rid of some of the "overdone" elements), new paint all around, Cyrk's wheels (money's no object - I'm sure there is an offer he wouldn't refuse), carbon fiber half moon on back, hopped up engine with supercharger (300+hp target), beefed up drive line, custom Bose street suspension, dual exhaust terminating through the cladding, custom restyled dash and console to fit the uniqueness of the VX, replace rear seats with recaro buckets like the front and make the console run all the way back, (I don't need the storage ability anymore)new leather throughout, cover every plastic piece inside with leather, replace the fake carbon fiber on the door panels with real CF, all of Tone's and Ron's products (that don't conflict with the other mods), a glass roof like the Jurassic Park Explorers, a rear wing from the Japanese VX, custom made Altezza taillights, HID headlights, a navigation system, keyless entry door pad from Ford product, CF door pillars, killer sound system, TV screens with Playstation and DVD, etc. etc, etc. oh, and rocket launchers

"If you're not living on the edge --- you're taking up too much space!!"
first off....i would remake the whole car in CF
drop in a 20B motor with all the works for a healthy 900+whp
coilovers, replace all the seats with bride zetaIII
then TV screens behind the 2 front seats and 2 on the dash...ps2/xbox/pc/etc....
navigation, keyless entry system like on a prius, m3 door handles...13" brakes, 19" SF CHALLENGE(6lugs).......and on and on....

I would buy a shell and attempt to recreate the prototype, with carbon fiber gas tank and floors, functional split rear door, binnicle dash with pop-up TFT screens and skinny tires. I'd put a 2.2 L Turbo under the hood and keep the weight around 3K - now that would be both a fun and challenging project!

Hmmm... after getting one of each US color I'd get an additional Iron Man for use as a rally beast. It'd get the following:
Entire drivetrain removed and replaced by custom double a-arm suspension at all four corners with coilovers. A turboshaft engine would be under the hood driving a high-output DC genset. Coupled with a FADEC it would drive four high-torque, oil-cooled and planetary geared electric motors driving each wheel directly at each hub.
No transmission, all-wheel drive, increased ground clearance, lighter weight and all accompanied by the howling shriek of the turbine! UBER VX! Muwhahahaha!
Oh, and it'd run on 100% Ethanol to make up for all the environment it'd be tearing up. :bgwg:
Over 20 years of Isuzu enjoyment...
all new beast of an engine, supercharged, with a new tranny to handle it, dual side-discharge exhaust
custom wheels
top-notch fully adjustable suspension setup
very custom paint job
internal roll cage
5-point racing seats, rear seat would come out
full skidplate package
additional lights
one of the new headlight systems that reads steering input and points the beams accordingly
hood w/hoodpins, and the hood insert area would be clear to show off what's
under the hood
rear camera
rubberized floor, no carpet
four-wheel steering
steering wheel would go, replaced by throttle and stick controls like in a jet fighter
HUD display showing speed, direction, altimeter, outside/inside temp and other pertinent info in the windshield
window glass that could go anywhere from full clear to totally black at the touch of a button.
it would shoot steam from the front and flames from the back
