The bars look great, but where are your tires?
Peace.

Don't worry. After you take them off and on 4 times you can actually do it in 30-60 minutes. The trick is to remove the bars from the brackets & bolt them in place first - put the bars on last.
I really like the look of the black on my Proton but still haven't managed to modify the brackets to work with my wheel/tire combo so right now I'm still running without. One day I'll get'r done.
And if you actually want to be able to step on them, put about 9-10 thick washers on each side. That's what I did to mine.
I'm planning on mine being slightly lower rather than pushing them out. That should make them more useful without making them knee bangers.
Look at my gallery - I don't see how you can bang your knees up against it. But of course, it's your VX and you can do what you like - mine was just a quick simple fix without any major mod.
Yah, I seen it. Nice.
I was just going by what Tone said. He recommended spacing it out with washers so you can actually get your foot on it but if you slide out of the VX without stepping on the bar, it'll catch you on the back of the leg.
BTW- like the bars up front too. Wifey wants me to get a set. How do you like 'em?
Love 'em and I have the rear taillight guards too - perfect match :)
I think im gonna get the full brush guard for mine as well but in all chrome i think there is only a handful a vxes out there with that one does anyone have a chrome or will i be first if so post pics if not ill post when i get it put on :)
By the way where did u get your VX Jul it looks familiar and it came with all the mods from pervious owner right?>?
Nope - mine was a pig when I got it. All the mods I did myself !
Very awesome work, how and where did u get the stuff to make the bottom console in yours it looks good and tdo u have any more clear shots of it?? I would like to see more. Looks nice .
Sorry for the delayed response, I've been busy getting the Delorean back to life. Anyhow, I just bought some ABS plastics and cut the holes myself with the dremmel tool. The inclinometer was a bit more challenging because it required cutting into the center console very carefully. You can do it too, but just take your time and cut out a little at a time.
O no thanks i thought it was easier i dont want to ruin nothing well good luck and thanks.
