    Not customer made, I don't believe in reinventing the wheel. Did research and noticed that the 98-2004 Rodeo tail lights have similar shape (the contour is defintely different though). So bought a pair, made brackets, and there you have it

    Thanks Lisa, can't wait for you to see it in person. Sunroof was an unpublicized mod but is probaby the 2nd most useful mod after the SC. You ain't seen nothing yet... I've got the hood scoop coming and other mods on the way

    Do you feel like fabbing up another set of brackets for a fellow VXer?

    Thanks guys! I would love to help you guys out but it was really time consuming and I would have to make the brackets "perfect" on every set. The reason is due to the tight clearance between the rear door and the tail lights. Secondly, additional steel tabs had to be welded to the tail light guards at the correct angle so that the rear door won't hit them. The tabs are used to mount the "aluminum" brackets to the "steel" guards.

    I'm just in it for the love so let me show Tone what I've done and perhaps he can commercialize it so you guys can enjoy it as well.

    Hey, that would be great. I'm sure even a custom set wouldn't be too difficult for someone with the right skills to fabricate, and I'm sure there are a lot of other VXers out there like me who have always wanted this mod...

    Thanks for sharing your idea.

    Note sure if Julian911 is still out there. Was hoping to get some close ups on the tabs and mounting to the interior door.

    They look so sharp and I always thought that the rear of the VX has been lacking in mods compared to the front.
