my new bumper

[Ldub]

Now that's how I would integrate a bulletproof bumper into the front of a VX! Looks like a ton of work, but the final result was worthy. I wonder about painting the bumper to match the proton yellow.....

X 2 !!!

Lookin' Great Greg, nice approach angle......

Greg that looks awesome, that's the best lookin' VX front bumper out there! You're a genius! It completely keeps the sexy VX lines yet makes it a tank at the same time! That's the first I've ever seen like that! :::P:::E:::R:::F:::E:::C:::T::::::
Congrats! Way to go!
I want one!!

ORION (Greg)--- x2. I concur 100% with VX-KAT. If somehow you could make that Front Bumper into a "KIT FORM" and market it for sale to the rest of us, it would undoubtably be a hot seller!!! Your engineering, craftsmanship, and fabrication skills are incomprehensible, along with your speed of accomplishment. The front bumper is extremely beefy, clean and sexy looking, while maintaining the sweet lines of the VX. I can't wait to see your incorporation of the front skid-plate project. Simply stellar.

An idea for a possible front bumper color is "Extreme Chrome" (powder-coat). This is actually a powder-coat paint color, and is basically a clone-chrome (without the expense of real chrome-plating).

EDIT: In looking in your Photo Gallery; before you fabricated your current front bumper, I noticed you had an earlier version of just a square receiver hitch stealthy mounted behind the front license plate opening. This is way cool. For those of us that want an instant bumper, a Nerf Bar Style Step Bumper could be easily inserted in the front hitch license plate opening. Much like the same way many VX'ers currently use their rear receiver hitch for the Nerf Bar Style Step Bumper. In that regard, the VX would have identical "matching" front & rear bumpers and easily removed if so desired. Having said that, perhaps you could just make a "KIT FORM" front receiver hitch package identical to your stealth license plate opening version (without the bumper). Thus, us layman type VX folks could just insert the commercially available Nerf Bar Style Step Bumper in the stealth front receiver hitch license plate opening for an instant front bumper. Genious.







Sidebar Note for VX member "Travelin2"-- see John, if you had a front bumper like that with a square receiver hitch in front, then you could easily tow the VX behind your MotorHome camper. Hmmm, time to ponder.
