Awesome results! Is your driving mostly highway? What type of driving techniques?

And what is that debit card fee?!?! I hope I'm not secretly getting charged that when I fill up. I never get the paper receipts so I wouldn't know!

That debit card fee is costing him 7 miles worth of gas.

I usually run the transaction as credit, but if it asks me for a PIN I usually go ahead and enter the PIN instead of selecting credit.

Most debit cards will run as credit. If you want to avoid the fee, I believe you can press cancel when it asks for the PIN and it will try to run as credit instead.

Mostly highway driving and at speed 55-60mph. I don't coast downhill on the highway but use it as to increase my speed and then slowing lower my speed back down to around 55-60.

Eoc when exiting the off-ramp, while approving stop signs/red light.

Nothing crazy like drafting semi's

Wow, it's been a long time since i've update or even done anything to my VX. We'll here's what I've been working on.

The front white air dam and the side skirt that I've paint night before.



And then paint match with spray can.













Later test drove it around city and freeway, so far no rubbing or weird wind noise. Pulled into a gas station not for gas but for refreshment. And found this parking spot I know my VX deserve.

Looks fantastic kaiba! I'm picking up a VX this weekend and will definitely be emulating some of your modifications on it.

Mind = blown. Man, that looks great! I love what you did with the inlet in the side skirt design just behind the front wheels. Very, very, cool!

What paint did you use? Duplicolor OEM match?

So glad you bumped this thread. Didn't even no it existed. Maybe we can make a Ecomodder VX Calendar? But Who would get December?! Too many reds!

Yes, the duplicolor spray can from the autopart store. A VX calendar would be kinda cool.
