    Question Bantan's New Mod - Y or N

    Well, Mad Man Mercer went off the deep end recently and is vying for a Formula 1 slot with his radical Ebony. Check out the pics and share what you think of this ground-hugging piece of "progress"...

    Well, I have to say, it's hard to tell. I need more pictures of the full side profile. But, I think the biggest problem is what's between the spoiler and the cladding. That area looks out-of-place? But I'm leaning towards to side of remove it!

    I would be interested in seeing this on a VX with the hood scoop. Maybe that would look cooler?

    It's nice to see new ideas though. Keep it ideas flowing.

    Thumbs up

    Looks nice from the front, kinda tacked on from the sides... Not too bad, if you can mold it into the bumper so it was more seamless it would look better... Nice work anyway!

    I agree with VXMan- What's between the spoiler and the cladding is the only thing that doesn't do it for me. The spoiler seems to made the VX look that much more exotic. Overall, I like it!
    don't hate

    I've always thought the VX bumper needed to be swept forward at the bottom. I agree w/ Cyrk, though, it needs to be molded in, or maybe molded is a new one-piece front cladding piece? Anyhow, good experimental work. It's a step in a good direction, I think.

    what is the purpose of this doodad? there's too much flow-blocking stuff behind it for there to be any real wing effect and it's way too high to be an air dam.

    it doesn't look like it would create any downforce whatsoever...

    it does a good job with the overall profile of the truck, although if you stick your nose in it, you might not think that it blend's... but most people watching you roll by will get a great effect. Expect to see a few people try to repoduce it.. just not me.. $$
