VX Accessory Q's: ANY help is welcome :)

[tysamigo]

Any input on some q's would be greatly appreciated.

Wind/Rain Deflectors
I have seen photos of a particular deflector that I think may be the OEM version (http://wildtoys.com/vehicross/VX_Mod...ctors_600.jpg). I am having an extremely hard time finding a pair. Does anyone know where I can find some? I am aware of the WeatherTechs but have not seen a photo of them installed on a VX. Does anyone have a pic of weathertechs on a VX?

Moonroof/Glass Roof
I've seen a few moonroofs that look great but wanted to know if anyone has installed a glass roof (or a section of it). For example, instead of a basic square-shaped moonroof, installing a long skylight that would start where a moonroof normally starts but ends up over the back seats.

Pedal Cover Set, Shift Knobs Replacement
I was looking at the new Momo Atomik set (http://www.ekmpowershop4.com/ekmps/s...productid=134). I think the E-brake cover and shift knob (for 4x4) will work however am not sure if I can use these pedals. They are for manual transmission and am not sure if they could be retrofitted to work. If not then I will still use the E-brake cover and shift knob but use another Momo set for pedals (http://www.eautoworks.com/html/ORD-1-1-1-6998.cfm). Does anyone know if the manual pedals would work or would I have to use the automatic version? By the way I'm thinking of these new floor plates to match (http://www.ltbmotorsports.com/mogrt2flma.html). Since I have a proton I think this new Atomik set will look pretty good.

Dash Mod
This mod looks great (http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...ight=dash+mod). Has anyone else tried it or something similar? Can the colors of the AC knobs/buttons also be changed or am I stuck with green?

CF Stuff
I have PM'd and emailed Dutchie about any CF accessories he still has available such as the CF Door Skuff Plates, CF Half Moon (for tailgate/rear door), CF brake light covers and a CF Hood Insert (if it is even available). I haven't hard back yet but wanted to know if anyone has any of these or other items like them? Are they good quality and problem/troublefree? They look great although a bit pricey...

Onboard Computer with Touch Screen
By the way, I found this article that I think some may find interesting. It is a simplified version of what others have done. I will go this route however instead of mounting the LCD I will install it in the dash.

You'd never find a new set of the OEM's, even if you went to Japan. A few sets got over here thru a contact in Japan years ago. Your only chance is if someone over there or here wanted to sell a used set. Forget about it.

The WeatherTechs are lightly tinted and real nice.

Hey dude,

Check my gallery. My VX is sporting the Weathertech rain guards. All I can say is, go to their website and buy a pair NOW. I don't think these will be available from them forever, and these are (imho) the absolute best rain guards you can buy and totally worth the moneh. They fit in by tension and do not use any adhesive or anything. They looks sweet and work well in the rain so you can have yer winder cracked.

Also, see my website link below for some close ups of the rain guards on my VX.

BTW, the Atomic set would look sweet on a Proton. If I had a Prot, I would for sure deck it out as a radioactive VX. I can just see it, a giant radiation symbol on the hood insert, custom plates that say "NUCLEAR". AR Teflon Mojave's....oh yeah. Do it up dude!

i think manual pedals would fit fine on the VX simply because the vx brake pedal is so freakin tiny.. .ive actually had a lot of trouble finding automatic brake pedals that fit on the vx

ive also got a few shots of the weathertech rain guards on my vx in my gallery, they are a very nice install especially when youve got tinted windows, i would def. recommend getting them from weathertech and not from a random online seller, i ordered mine from ebay and the passenger side one was a little defective, nothing a dremel couldnt fix, but still, i wouldve sent it back and gotten a replacement if i had ordered from them

i dont think that a larger moonroof/glass roof would be possible, the VX has a stuctural member that goes across the roof just behind the doors, i dont think you would want to cut through that, if you search other peoples galleries/posts for dynamat photos you will be able to see them

Another WeatherTech Wind Deflector here. One of my favorite mods for sure.

[tysamigo]

OK, I'm sold. I just ordered the WeatherTechs. Can anyone chime in on the other questions I had?

Thanks for ALL of your help gang

"Manual pedals"? Am I the only one who thinks that's a little funny?

So the wind deflectors do a good job? I almost never drive with the windows open because the wind blasts me in the head (my enormous cranium being so close to the window).
