    ^^^ Hood Insert ^^^

    Just an update/info for those in need.

    I just ordered a new hood insert from Merlin (mine had a slight crack, the usual issue...) North American inventory shows 3 remaining after my order. I ordered it on Friday, and will have it tomorrow (Tuesday). 3 days from order to delivered? Not bad... not bad at all.....

    I know after those 3 are gone we'll still be able to order a new one however, the wait for that will be 6 - 8 weeks.

    Just fyi.

    Mmmmm.... juice. To me, without a doubt. I'm sick with VX pride. I got it bad...

    I want my vx in the best condition possible. It treats me well. I in turn treat it the same.

    After all, it's my (twisted) philosophy that flaws/imperfections over time pile up if gone unattended to - causing owner dissatisfaction in the long run. I plan to keep my VX for life, and want it to last (form & function) as long as possible.

    I admit it. I'm a VX junkie.

    And that's the FIRST step my friend, admitting there is a problem. Remember, WE are here for YOU.

    biju, do hang on to it or sell it to someone like me that will repair it and keep it available for when they run out. I have mine that I removed when I installed the carbon fibre insert. Am playing with the idea of doing a faux carbon fiber finish on it, just one of those round to it's again. I want to play with some tinted resin's to see if I can tint the color like mine is.

    woo-hoo!

    WOW....and it came in one piece and looks decent!! FRIGGIN AMAZING!!
    How many times I have ordered Isuzu parts and they come half-a** packaged with dents, scratches or broken ends.

    Someone should cast a mold of the insert and design/construct it with a more durable flexible weather resistant material...I'm sure there would be a lot of buyers.

    Wow, so pretty. Makes me want one just to save in case of disaster.

    And just look how proud your pup was of it.
