can i plead the 5th?
I kinda like it, but I think it would look better if some of the trim was not painted: not necessarily the cladding, but door handles, the roof rack trim, spoiler, hood insert, etc...
Just some details around the car that would make it look like it handn't just been dipped in the stuff. I think its on the right track, but just needs some attention to detail.
What a gutsy move? I've considered doing the cladding, after a few scratches/ fender benders, no two pieces of cladding are the same color (and it bugs the hell out of me).
Is this the standard color for Line-X or is there one which is closer to the original color of cladding? From the picture the texture looks a bit uneven. I know function is more important than style, but it looks a bit lumpy on the front end and the side.
Hmmm, very interesting. Looks as if it was more like coated with something rather than painted. I like it. I think it looks like the Glock version of the VX. Looks VERY durable. Tell me what you did and how much it cost and what you like about it and what you don't. Though, definitely a one of a kind with your signature on it.
I'm gonna say I like it. It's clean and menacing (seems to fit SPAZZ's personality). If I were Joe Blow on the street when Darth Spazzer drove by, I would definitely say, "I gotta' have one of those."
I like it! Looks bad azz and rugged and ready to tackle anything
Why isn't SPAZZ posting his own mods though
Live Free or DIE!
I'll keep it short and simple because it's not my truck, to each his own, if you haven't got anything nice to say then don't say anything, etc. Bottom line is I'd be really upset about the quality of the work. I've seen it done much better, like on zadam123's VX...
well you get what you pay for and if I paid someone to do the job I'd be out $1400 or more.
Plus I didn't paint my VX(if I did I'd be out thousands) as some think I bedlined it. and I didn't want the smooth thin shiny stuff either, no sir, I used the high build thick durable stuff. Pluss it only cost $200 to do the whole VX.
Some kids ran into the side of the VX going 65MPH down the freeway and the insurance check for the body work went to make up past due amount on the VX and bring it current with enough to get the liner and do it myself. With my financial situation priorities were in order for me to take the money and run and fix the body damage, paint, cosmetics myself. Also preventing the VX from being repoed which would not be fun because I'm on a zero interest loan
and only 7 payments left.
Oh and I didn't line the door handles either which someone mentioned. Plus, I don't have to worry about the paint, nor do I cry like most of you when those jerks slam their car doors into your VX's either

That is the ticket! Master of your fate and willing to give the new "edge" a feel. I think it looks good. Especially now that I understand the situation and your environment. As the years go by for my Dragon...the day may come when I must do the same thing too. Thanks for the idea and the actual.
In the words of Gunnery Sgt. Hartman:
"Private Joker is silly and he's ignorant, but he's got guts, and guts is enough"
No offense SPAZZ, this quote just came to mind when I saw the pics.
So, what does it feel like? How does it wash up? (or do you not plan on washing it anymore?) Also, will it dull down to a nice flat finish? Or does it stay wet looking?

How much weight does all that mud add to it?

Looks really good. I did the same thing to my Jeep.

Before I lined it I removed the rack, Door handles were taped off as wellas all rubber seals, VX was already debadged(except 4WD badge which I left on purpose), the mirrors...have you seen bushwhipped mirrors before or what happens when a rock hits them??? not pretty and scras look really ugly on them.
Yes. The wind noise is HUGELY reduced inside.
The scoop is a "HOt Air Extraction Scoop" which extracts hot air from inside engine bay and pushes it to outside of VX through the hole. That is why it is facing backwards instead of forward or it would be a "Air Induction" Scoop.
Everyone I have seen or I should say who have seen the VX and commented since I did it, especially the offroaders, says "AWESOME" especially the liner on the whole thing.
Spazz, got balls dude. i woulda never even though about it.
why?
looks like azz
but just my opinion. be a good hunting truck now though
