I got astral Silver.... :p

Another vote for the window tint:thumbup:

I would polish the insert, and call it good, but I'm low budget.

Maybe some center caps?

The tint is definately happening. The center caps were 15 a piece so I passed. I like it this way. I will paint the hub and axles so the centers look better

Is that Kickboxer or Bloodsport? I can't remember which on, been a while since I have seen a Van Damme flick...

Blood sport it is. Also has the dude from Wildcats on there.


Remeber that scene from both of them looks like Van Dam got the powder in the eyes and Barry Bonds father looks like he just threw it onVan Dam and he is excited..

See kids and this is why we dont take the juice...

That is a little lighter than I would go but you get the idea.

+1 for olive.....

I dunno. I'm on the fence. The green would be cool if you get a good, clean, even paint job. It would also be unique. The original will still look good though.

looking at it now.. i think a dark gunmetal color, a few shades darker than kaiser would look really sexy like thihs color

Got my rack finally and got it up there

I had to perform a little surgery to make it fit our stock rails but its there now.

Looks nice and low profile. What did you have to do to make it fit?

The two holes for the rear mount were off by about 1/2 inch. I just drilled new holes and relocated the bars. Not too bad, just frustrating.

Yup, that's basically what I had to do with the Coleman basket. Except I had to shorten the tubes. There must be a "standard" length between crossbars and for whatever reason, the VX isn't standard. But then again, I am sure the Yakima basket fits perfectly....
