    Did you guys consider buying the CF/black plastic (or maybe they're fiberglass?) covers from Summit Racing and have a fabricator use those as a template? Not pricey and he would destroy the plastic in making the mold, but sure seems like it would result in a much higher quality product.

    Haven't ruled out any of prior ideas, but did think of another idea....
    please tell me if this is totally stupid or may be doable.....or doable but a boatload of money....or would it likely mess up the tubular metal, etc...etc...etc...

    What about buying a set of guards (Black tubing style guards) that are pretty CLOSE to the VX shape, then have the fabricator modify them?? Then get them powdercoated to finish them off.
    THOUGHTS????


    I saw these from an Expedition, and they're only $35 +$14 shipping which is a great deal.....

    And these for a RAV4:

    These are some Westin ones, just a representative pic, but I could track it down on Westin's site:
