    Ewwww. Leave the wide body kits for old Nissans...

    Probably depends on your view of the VX

    If you're strictly a four-wheeler, I'm guessing you'll hate it.

    If, OTOH, you see the VX as a performance vehicle, then it might be more to your liking. I sorta like it. There's a pic on this forum of a VX in a Vegas show with a similar (if not same) kit. I didn't like it as much then.

    I'm thinking this has a better front bumper. Better wheels too. (The other pic I'm thinking of is in the wheel thread IIRC.)

    Interesting you'd find this on a purely Japanese website! LOL I wonder how many nickels they're bidding.

    Thats the Moon Craft (kit) for those that are new or don't remember... It's hard to tell if that is the actual Moon Craft that is in the link below... I didn't think they actually made a kit out of it...

    OMG, my eyes!!!

    Seriously - that's a big fat fail in my opinion. If our VX's front end remind people of some sort of snake, this makes it look like a bloated cobra that just swallowed a hamster...

    No thanks.

    If they are going to spend money and time on body pannels they should come up with a new rear door that has a large window so you can see out and re position the spare tire - To me that is the only major flaw with the vehicross. Oh and the window problem, and the cd player, and oh the dancing fuel gauge. But other than that .... I would not trade my vehicross for most new cars out today, I have had it 10 years and its a keeper - besides the wife could not break it - could not say that about the land rover she drove for 5 years !!

    I think the factory cladding looks much better. This looks more like it's wearing water wings or sitting in an inflatable life raft.

    Don't forget horrible brakes, ABS problems, oil burning, short lived OEM shocks, no drink holder...lol. Oh, and also a passenger front seat that slides forward and up like the trooper RS does...
