Hey People:
I'm a new used VX owner. Love this truck. My second day of owning it, somebody scraped the polypro bumper and side trying to get into a parking space behind me. Is there an easy fix for this material? Let me know.

If its not too aweful "Mothers back to black" hides it if you use enough (like half the bottle) I had a pretty bad scrape (not deep though) from a tree and it hid it so well I can't really see it anymore (after about 4 applications of back to black)

...My VX got it's first and only scrapes from a brick tossed from a bridge 2 summers ago. I bought another piece to replace it, but have grown to appriciate what I now call it's "character" scar.

Scrapes happen, that's why we have cladding to keep the scrapes from damaging the painted metal parts. I have a passenger side front piece for sale. Let me know if you need it.

It was about $135 shipped from St Charles two summers ago, has been in the box waiting for install ever since. Someday I will install it, that is, if i don't sell it first.

Well since we are on this subject I am in need of a rear passenger side fender since someone felt the need to try to squeeze out of there car at about 1 foot away which left a nice gouge in the cladding just below the gas cap on the lip of the fender. If anyone has a line on one of these bad boys please let me know.
