    Oops, forgot to mention.....the fab shop def wasn't the most careful during fab/modding/fitting/adjusting/install of these......

    Well, now we know what cladding that has ShowRoom New dye looks like when a sander/grinder hits it.....
    I don't actually know what caused it since they shaved/sanded the inner vertical part of lens...and only on driver's side. Maybe a tool rubbing on it...I don't know....but the place has a shop full of sandrails, VW dune buggies, and everything in between, and they're all pretty rough looking.....no beauty queens or Pebble Beach entrants there....so a fine specimen like mine apparently isn't their specialty....

    I already touched up the other side, it came out good, thankfully.

    Phew, I touched up the passenger side with my custom brew of ShowRoom New and it came out great......
    (BTW, if I ever say I'm going to do a custom color/blend....just shoot me OK?)

    If anybody's interested in getting a set of these same tail light guards made, the shop said it'd be $125 (bare metal).
    They already made a few extra brackets and can use my VX for test fitting etc...
    You'll probably have to tweak yours a little for final fit.

    oh no, no destructive testing/fitting!.....they can measure the angle the brackets go on and the guard itself....no "fitting" like that!

    That reminds me of a song I just wrote...

    It ain't quite finished yet, but you can help with your own verses...

    (to the tune of camp town races)

    Custom brew of ShowRoom New...doo-dah, doo-dah
    You can paint your cladding too...oh de doo-dah day

    Sorrrrrt of blackish gray, sorrrrt of grayish black...
    I'll bet it's sorta dark black gray.

    Much more so than white.
