    Looks like I will be getting that after-market bar in the near future. Same story... saw the left one hanging loose, and broke off in my hand with no effort. The right hand one took some twisting, but came off due to rust as well.
    I'm going to order it now...

    OK, here's the story so far...
    This is a picture of a bumper bar that rusts & falls off (there is one on each side of the VX behind the cladding).

    They rust and fall apart...
    LEFT

    RIGHT

    No real protection behind cladding...


    The after-market reinforcement looks like a better design. I hope it fits!

    This cancer called RUST is another very good reason to move away from Chicago! Like Cece needs more ammo to use.
    Hmmm... or

    Minor setback

    My order for the after market bumper has been cancelled. They do not expect to have any in stock for quite some time. I'll keep you all posted as to how it all works out.

    you have to love a place

    That advertises something for sale that they not only do not stock but cant even get in a reasonable amount of time. I am leary of places like this because my suspicious nature says their posting it is at least questionable how can you trust the other parts of their reliability or integrity
