OK, let's see some before and after shots of your VXes. You know, the day you got it VS what it looks like now. Should be kinda fun to see how we all have modded our whips.

I'll start.

EDIT: Found a photo of mine only a couple days after I bought it, still with dealer plates and bald tires!

Yes, good fun seeing the transformations.

Worm, I tried and tried to find a pic of mine before I did ANYTHING to it, but I couldn't I have one more place to look for an even earlier shot of it, but as you can see in the above pic, I already de-badged and added the Weathertechs...

I have to say, Richard, I've always loved the black racing stripes. Nice job. I would never have thought of doing something like that to a VX, but it looks killer. Now all you need is a lift and some black (like the teflon Mojaves) rims!! :yesy:

Thanks, I’m trying to keep kind of a rally theme going. I just finished some interior mods that I’m going to post later. I was thinking of doing a lift maybe early next year.:cool:

Awesome idea for a thread!!
http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/500/vxBeforeAfter.jpg

Took one visit to moab to realize what I needed to do... Bought my VX in Mid April 2008, went to Moab in May, bought the parts shortly after, and finished up in Early June.

:)

Not as pretty now as it was in the first "After" pics... Now the wheels have seen some "Use"

Dang - PO did the visible mods so mine looks pretty much like when I got it. Maybe when I remount the Nerf bars & put on new skins I'll be able to contribute.

That, and removing the trees from the passenger side (less tree sap? :p )

and taylorRichie - WOW! Nice mods! Your VX looks particularly badass with that wheel/tire combo.

Your rear bumper mod is your best work
The rest looks good too. :p
