Just want to say HI and new to the site. New to the
VX world too.
What Im not new to is the aftermarket accessory world.
Ive had a performance shop here in Tucson since 1990
and do accessories for all types of cars and suvs.
Not sure how far Im going to go with my VX but if anyone
is having trouble finding aftermarket products, feel free to
email me.
We sell Magnaflow, Flowmaster, Green Filters, R1 Rotors,
Classic Leather, Wheelskins, HID headlight conversions,
diamond plate metal floormats, dashkits, spiderlites, LED bulbs
and Cepek wheels and several other things for these VXs.

Other then that, its nice to be here and hope to be around
for a while.

thanks
Dayle

Az,

Welcome to the family. Hope you enjoy your experience with the VX and with this forum.

A good source for aftermarket goodies is always a blessing so welcome indeed.

We'll be looking forward to any updates concerning your 'project' VX.

If its any help, you can see what we did for the
Subaru Svx community

www.planetsvx.com

one thing we are going to try to do first are some
pure silicone upper and lower radiator hoses for the Vx
among other things like air intakes etc...

Hey, and welcome.

I would love to see some custom fit diamond plate rubber floor mats, and better yet, a custom diamond plate rubber mat for the cargo area when the back seats are removed.

Nice SVX goodies. I have been looking at those and Impulses as my next purchase.
Im glad you joined us here.
Got an ETA on any goods for the VX?

[Vehi-Cross-Az]

if you can find a nice clean Svx, jump on it
Ive had aprox 3 or 4 in the last 8 yrs. And always
have one on hand as a daily driver.
Some items Im compiling for the VX already are:
Drop In Green Air Filters
Short ram cone replacement Green filter kits
Magnaflow simple weld in style Performance Mufflers
(in most cases, we have noticed going to larger pipe only
hurts low end torque and not necessary)
A variety of stainless quaility weld on exhaust tips.
Cross drilled slotted rotors all around
Ceramic Raybestos and or Hawk brake pads
Plug and Play HID headlight conversions in 5k and 6k
steel braided stainless brake line kits
Overlay dashkits in stainless, carbon or ?
Metal custom fit floor mats
H3 Yellow Foglight bulbs
XCS Voltage Stabilizers
Wheels
oh and an exclusive product not available anywhere else
WRC and Govt vehicle inspired Pure Silicone upper and lower
radiator hoses (available in 4 colors)
and more Im sure..

Our retail stores been open here in Tucson since 1990..
our Svx store since 2002. I really enjoy seeing others who
want to personalize their vehicle, be able to as easy as possible.

Not sure how far Im going with my 99 Astral Silver
but you can bet Ill be testing the stuff out on mine first
before I put it out there for sale.

thanks for the warm welcome..

A proper fitting, light weight replacement for the way too heavy hood insert. This is something you could sell a few of....quality clear lenses would be another. Sounds like you are more of an accessory and bolt on store, than fabrication/speed shop,but things like tow hitches, and brush guard mounts are two other areas alot of owners show interest in. For me....I'm not the twinkly lights, chromed shiny geegaw bolt on type.... I want it to be lighter, go faster, stop quicker, and handle better. Prebent silicone hoses will be welcome tho. Welcome to the cult

We sell parts and do on site installation.
We try to sell stuff thats profitable of course
and try to have something for everyone. But it
has to be cost effective at the same time.
That or the price of the part will be so high, no one will
buy it.
I have a friend with a machine shop who is
a fabricator. He can build anything we want.

Enlighten me on the hood insert you are referring to.
Im not aware of it.

Does anyone make Nerf bars or side bars for the VX ?

[JHarris1385]

Enlighten me on the hood insert you are referring to.
Im not aware of it.

The black piece that rests on top of the hood as an anti-glare device.

The black piece that rests on top of the hood as an anti-glare device.

and is apparently made from material quarried near the place my granite counter tops came from

[Chopper]

ummmm...you have a '99 Astral, but don't know what the hood insert is?? only the one most obvious feature on the VX not found on any other production vehicle....ever...as far as I can remember.

[Vehi-Cross-Az]

Correct, I do have a 99 Astral, sorry only have had it 4 days.
My insert other then being a little faded, didnt look bad to me.
All the plastic around the body seemed to have similar appearance
from being 8 yrs old.
The "insert" you referred to could of been structural Under the hood
as well as on top, ..give me just a little break.

[Vehi-Cross-Az]

what are your options now ?
paint it
cover it in vinyl
make one out of aluminum and paint it ?
or ?
