I was wondering if anyone was selling their silver front and back skid plates and what about the chrome mirror covers where can i find them or buy them from someone.
i was also wondering where or who can sell me the VX logo that goes on the grill

thanks

hey ive been looking for the same thing. been looking all over the net and cant really find any decals for the vx but just a thought is make your own or go to a welding shop where they can cut metal and have them make custom ones for you!!

dont even really need a welding shop... it could be done at home with a piece of aluminum a dremel and some time

If you look at this thread: http://vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?threadid=12558 then scroll down to the bottom, you will see the VX on my grill. Then all you need to do is go to your grill, take some measurements and bob's your uncle. (need to be British to understand that one)

From what I remember Autox was cutting them from brushed titanium (he had access to the materials and tools at his work). They glue on with epoxy once the "isuzu" sticker was removed.

Ron produced them at vehicrosscomcepts.com but he hasn't been around in a bit - seems he's had a couple of job changes and has been busy - I bought both the front and back from him.

I think the mirrors on the VX are the same as for the 1996-1997 Rodeo and the LS model came with crome mirrors - maybe you could order a set from St. Charles or pull a set from a junker?

Not the same - there was a thread by someone in the past who tried retro-fitting and ran into issues. I have also heard in the past that Isuzu spent a ton to get mirrors on the VX that "look" like the rodeo mirrors, but are actually different (mounts and "guts" are different and not compatible).

Ive brought over several items from Jp for the Svx owners
over the yrs, I even imported a car from there about 5
yrs ago.
Im checking with my connections this week on what we can
possibly get.

i know its not even in process yet, but id be looking for the jdm windflectors, steeringwheel, and fenders. maybe even that mirror on the fender. and if i had the money for it.... a righthand drive firewall and guts for a conversion :bwgy:

Ive picked up a new AWD emblem for my own Svx
and other owners I thought was pretty nice for those cars
Im thinking about seeing how it looks in the Grill of the Vx
maybe in place of the ft grill emblem or rear hatch door
possibly.

Japollo - Raque Thomas I think should be the one with the Rodeo chrome mirrors. He lives near me but just recently sold his (in the last month). From what I remember they worked but were a lot of work to get to that point.

- - - I would deffinatly get the JDM wind defelctors and the fender mirror at least. That is if they are not too pricey$$.

You know to use the JDM steering wheel you would have to do away with the air bag...they do not have one.

Of course they do, you funny man, they are just smaller because seatbelts are mandatory as opposed to some states in the us.
