    If you decide to paint the steel bumper dark gray to match perhaps check out Kubota's dark gray spray paint for the tractor frames they paint. I bought some a while back and was thinking (not out loud...lol) that not only would the color look good but it seems quite durable and has an almost "plastic" like feel to it.

    WOW, nicely done! I would drive the VX to you to have this done for sure. Great job!

    Wow

    It's as if you did exactly what i've been envisioning and wanting to do ever since i bought my vx! If you do ever plan on mass production put me on that list! In my opinion i'd leave the lower cladding off and somehow convert the fog lights into turn signals. That was always my plan.

    For turn signals could also sink 4-6 led's in each side of the bumper. Flush mount them and they would hardly be noticable.

    Yeah, but Billy, you did that because you got in a wreck, right?
    Yes...crash! But I have a brand spanking new piece sitting in my garage!

    BUMP

    Because I am jealous of this bumper and want one! And everyone should see this and dream up some new possibilities for the front and rear. It is possible to do.....

    here she is ready for priming.


    all painted, turn signal lights in.


    license plate holder in, forgot to get picture with the hook in it.



    next i need to get a lower skid plate, then I'll start fitting the lower bumper.
