    Question

    No, thats kinda ugly. Don't know if u are trying to be Funny or Sarcastic but if u look at my VX it does not have much of a none stock look, if it where not for the flaps u will see it looks almost stock. i'm going for a rally look and clean as well not going all clown on it, and i dont like cheap looking stuff or cheap mods. I see the picture in my head before its done. will take a while to finish the picture i have in my head, but little by little it will peace together and all u guys will have a final result. its kinda like when u see a picture being painted and u say what the H**L is that, but at the end u go OHHHHHHHHHH ok, well its kinda the same concept. i think this vehical can go 3 ways, 1st Mudding, 2nd Street, and 3rd Rally. I chose the rally cuz thats what i'm into and thats what this vehical was made for really. for Mudding and street or even rock climbing, there are not enough mods out there to make your ride compete with jeeps or Humvies or new street suvs, but in the rally scene there are plenty and still the VX is a challenge. so I rather go the rout that will lead me to a more modified and promiseing ride. but thats what i like and think, every1 has there ideas and ways to take they VX. if there where enough mods made or even being made for the VX in the mudding scene, i would probley buy me another VX just to make it for that purpose.

    Well Sir, I dont like it.

    oh, ok. i would but i want to keep it a little clean as well, if i was going all out and for a real rally VX then yes i would live to do that, and the cladding. but i want it to look real clean as well. well hey, i was thinking. what would u guys think if i painted my hood black, do u guys think it would kill the look of the VX or look really good, kinda like that proton rally VX that was posted here a few weeks ago. so what u guys think?

    theres a company that makes paint meant to be peeled or washed off after a couple days or even weeks (i forget who... ill look more into it later) but i saw it on TRUCKS! on spike, you could get stuff like that and try it out, see how you like it... now that im thinking about it... i may do that with a few ideas ive had... haha

    I do like the flaps, ever since I had seen the Jaos flaps. Looks real rally. Was going to pop on and off as needed based on mixed reactions though.

    I think they stand out a lot more on the ironman white- I am thinking they would be a little less pronounced on my astral? ie. white, black, red vs. silver, black, red. maybe ill do black flaps for a less pronounced look.

    More free advice worth exactly what you paid for it...maybe less:

    Do mods to your VX that suit YOU & your sense of what you want your truck to look like & to h3ll with what anybody else thinks!!!

    No worthwhile endeavor has ever been accomplished by worrying about what everyone else would think about it.

    We would still be living in caves were it not for those willing to think outside the box.(or cave, as the case may be)
