That's right, it is his choice and he's in on it as the poll was talked about at the Orlando meet. We all thought it would be a fun way to share what Bantan has been doing with his VX. ;pg; So relax and enjoy some friendly discussion!

The First Amendment allows freedom of expression, yes. That allows him to do whatever he wants to his VX to express his individuality, as long as it complies with laws (e.g. no blue / red lights, etc). In answer to your question, the First Amendment also allows freedom of speech That allows us to discuss whatever we want so long as it's not slanderous in nature. So as long as you don't libel him (e.g. "you're smoking crack") or threaten him (e.g. "i'm gonna tear that thing off your car and beat you with it"), you can say whatever you want about his spoiler thingy (e.g. "that's the ugliest thing I've ever seen").

Personally, I like it as a step forward in aero-mods, and I also think this thread has value in that it allows us to see and discuss things that members are doing with their VX. That is the purpose of this forum, after all.

transio,
You're smoking crack again.


OOOPS.... I just saw VXMAN's post VXMAN's Post

VXMAN is the one smoking crack!!! He's selling his VX.

One acronym for it W.T.F.!

Well it looks as if it channels the air right into the plastic skid plate part which does absolutely nothing for performance. At first I thought maybe it would cool it down a bit more. But I am going to have say that it is the only VX I would consider to be RICE!

man its KILLING his approach angle

[no]

[Heraclid]

It's not for me, but it's not my VX either. It's still one of the nicer ebonys I've seen.

[Navigator]

... The cattle catcher is a bit over the top IMO, but otherwise it's hot

[WormGod]

Well, since you asked for opinions....

Not a fan of it. Too ricer for me, but hey, it's your ride bro. Too many useless trinkets make a car look like an over decorated christmas tree.

Diamond Plate it!!!

Actually, i think its kind of neat..adds to the 'WTF??" factor of an already unique vehicle.. think of what you can tell people!! "yep, its a protype electromagnet . i turn it on when im behind a semi truck and i get 92 miles per gallon" or " oh no, its not a wing, its designed to capture positive ions and run the electric power plant..."
the possibilities are endless..its got to be fun!!

This mod does seem very unworthy for a real life, backcountry 4x4. And my bias will always favor that view of the VX. ( heck, when I go to town, I drive more miles on single lane mountain dirt road than I ever do on paved roads. ( 5 miles of dirt, mud, or snow, compared to 3.5 miles paved, with a great ski resort at the end!).



(and we got over 3 feet of snow last night!)

I would suggest that we use a different word other than 'ricer', to describe our negative opinions on something. "Ricer" suggests a superiority of American perception, that has become somewhat laughable when used by a group of people (me included) who are dedicated to a Japanese designed and built vehicle,... A vehicle that this same "superior American perception," would have NEVER put into production.

[AlaskaVX]

Ricer is not a term to clown on imports, a ricer is a term to say "It is all show and no go"

Cars such as the Chevrolet Cavalier, and the Ford Focus, are also largely popular cars to be "riced" out.

So then maybe...popcorner? or...P-nutter or...soy bomb or...
tater mobile or isn't wild rice indigenous?
