    Push Button Starter?

    Where are you getting the pushbutton starter? Sounds good.

    Looks GREAT!

    I used to live in Harleysville, PA right off the Turnpike.

    Gotta love the VX in the winter there...

    the wheels are Granite Alloy GA5's in 18x8.5 w/ a 0 offset.. they have Falken S/TZ04 tires in 285/60/18H (quite a bit of trimming needed to be done since in still stock height)

    fog lights were 20 bucks at autozone that i got to fit with the how two by johnny apollo.. they give off a yellowy white light.. probably about 4500-5000 degees... my HIDs are 6000 though, so i did order some LEDs to replace the bulbs so that they match better

    the push button ignition has not arrived yet, but was ordered online... will update when it arrives and is installed

    How far past the wheel wells do your tires sit now with the 0 offset wheels?

    I've got +6 on my 2001 with 275/60/18's and they stick out 1.75" from the edge of the cladding to the edge of the tire.

    Hmmmm. I was wondering if having tires that stick out past the wheel wells would pose a problem with PA inspection.
    I see you still have Maryland plates so I guess it doesn't matter???

    I used to have family that I visited in Slippery Rock, Butler, and Pitt! Have raced in Butler and on Mt Penn.

    The VX is looking great. Can't wait for the other mods. Good job!
