    Black on silver/white looks sharp IMHO. Can't wait to see pics!

Thank you VXKat, the shop should have already called you about one of those mirrors. Can't wait to see her with a full black hood what do you guys think? Everything mechanical will be replaced if it's broken, tires may be replaced. I'm thinking about some new OME springs as well.
    Yup, the shop called me Thursday for the passenger mirror.

    Check out VXorado's pics, he's got the white VX with black hood, give you some idea of how it will look.

    Called the shop yesterday the only thing preventing me from driving it away is a passenger window which had to be made and the passenger mirror as soon as I get those we are off to the mechanics shop where they will hopefully just do alignment and new tires or do a complimentary lift for me, and we're back on the road

    The dealership called me this morning for the passenger mirror. They're mailing a check to me so it will just be a day or so and I'll get it shipped off. Glad you'll be all put back together real soon! Always great to hear stories like this (not the accident part ) but the repair facility that goes out of their way and thinks outside the box to fix a customer's rare rig!

    I have it back, I'll post pics as soon as I clean it up. The shop did a terrible job cleaning up all of the glass and scratched up a ton of interior panels and my hood insert Five weeks later I'm not exactly pleased with the results other than it is in perfect mechanical condition (they didn't even need to realign it) and the body is right which is all I really needed.

    What all was needed:
    rear passenger cladding
    passenger mirror
    paint door
    paint hood
    fix hood dents
    VehiCROSS decal passenger
    passenger window
    passenger marker light
    fix metal behind passenger rear cladding
    replace bolts of tire shredding death in wheel well with rivets
    That should be it again pics coming soon
