Your VX is taking on a look of raw strength - is it possible for you to use a bigger diameter material for this brushguard? I think it would blend with what you have going on... in other words... I am excited to see where your VX goes! Harbor Frieght has a pipe bender for around $100 and it can bend tubing if you plan ahead to use a die that works well with a specific size of tubing. Pipe and tubing differ in their measurement of inner dia. and outer dia. If your wife would allow you to budget this bender into the plan you could take on something to school everyone in the budget buildup dept that looks great! Or just use a bigger diameter material and go with it but.. sorry, personally I think the diameter is a bit small. I am liking your VX's direction though!
