As the title states, this thing is a brute! It held up well to a rear end collision. I was stopped and an F150 slammed into me going about 40mph. I think the VX won this little match.

On the other hand, I guess I'm on the search for a new door and plastic(s).

That sucks, but look on the bright side, you can use that door for the flat door mod

I'll bet if you got a heat gun and set it on low heat, you can work that rear plastic back until it's back to normal.

Tow bar looks bent. Check it and the mounts carefully before you use it again.
Sure did win that round though.

I think it is VXorado's. Its the flattened rear door, so you can mount a full size spare on the back without having it look awkward.

Eternal21-The rear plastic is actually ripped and torn in multiple places.

Pk-tow bar is definitely bent in and pushed down, it's shoved into the gas tank. I probably lost a little fuel capacity, haha! It took most of the force since it hit right on her frame. I don't plan on using it anymore.

Flyingv77-I'll have to look at vxorado's pics. I really want a full size matching spare mounted on the back. Is there any instruction on how to do this?

Thank you!! That is a great thread! I wish I had the equipment to do this myself. Maybe I could find a good body shop around Charlotte so that insurance can pay for the flat door mod.

Thanks, but I'm going to try the flat door mod so I can put a full size spare on it. If that doesn't work I'll keep you in mind.
