    I also ordered the weather stripping for both sides and an extra headlight for each side, the headlights are very pricy and Merlin gave me a great price I got the discount on the website plus another 15% off for ordering other parts that totaled at over $1000.

    I know it may seem strange to order parts that are not broken but I have another car that is 30 years old and the taillight we available for years and then there were none, then someone make them aftermarket for a short time and I was unable to get a set. I was not happy and now you cannot get them at all, so I got a set of headlights for the VX before this happens as the headlights will be very hard to reproduce and used one are already hard to find and I have no idea how a person could even attempt to make them or even something that would come close to fitting the VX.

    Man, Merlin was my man too! Isuzu headquarters is now in Anaheim, CA. Oh...and I spoke to Tesla last year about using their technology to retrofit the VX...or any other car for that matter. They said they are not interested in doing that other than OEM to new cars. They are working with Toyota and GM right now.
    Call me a geek, or maybe even nerd, but face the facts, we da ones be rulin' this world!

    Sorta like when I talked to Borla about making a 'cat back' system for our beloved VX. They kindly replied 'No Thank You'.
