"Grill Guard"

I kinda remember something about this in England before i left, i think they were trying to ban steel bull bars because of the pedestrian injury thing (also not many bulls, kangaroos or whatever else necessitating bull bars in the UK) I guess there are also more pedestrian injuries there being more densly polulated. I've noticed that Range Rovers sold here now come with a kind of plastic coated foam rubber bull bars as standard which actually looks pretty good and is ped friendly.

Personally i think pedestrians should be run over, anyone remember that old James Caan movie Death Race 2000? How many points was it for a wheelchairbound old lady???

:)

James Caan ? I thought it was David Caradine!;Dy;

yep, you right it was david caradine, so what was the movie james caan was in about the same time..mmmmmmm

this was quite a few years ago now...

Rollerball baby!

He evidently has access to a VX for fitment to design the guard he is advertising. Perhaps if enough interest is generated, he would look into fitment of the two guards for the RX300 onto the VX. It might only take adapter brackets to make them work!

IF....he is on the UP & UP!

I emailed him and this was 'exactly' his response:


Thanks for your info.

This is the sample we took from our model is Asia. We just send in a large shipment into US mainly with new model like mercedes, Lexus and Toyota. We didn;t bring the Vehicross mainly there is not many buyers will request this.

We can certainly redesign and change the design and color as well with at least some minimum orders.

Please let me know what do you think and our website is under developing and you should see all the products lines soon. Thanks

Jolly Roger -

Your "dream" grill guard is bad-***! Very aggressive styling. You should get that one marketed.

Dallas of Stinkyfab will complete his design brush bar for the VX. Dont know his timeline, but the project is still on.

I'd be interested in a grill guard once the right design comes up, so far nothing i'm quite in love with, i like bits from one and bits from another.

Thanks for the Rollerball thing Johnny!! I remember being at school at the time and Rollerball and Death Race 2000 were the two coolest films we never got to see because of the certification which made them even cooler.

When i finally got round to viewing them many years later they weren't quite as cool, still gotta love earning points for running people over though!!

Part of me thinks that is a little irresponsible, the rest of me is gonna rent a couple of movies this weekend!!

some people just dont know when to stop, mudflap overkill!

say.... anyone think that rear bumper/grill guard thing would look good on the front??

I would imagine anyone would get seriously hurt or killed by getting hit with a 3985 lb. vehicle, regardless of what's on the front of it.

Uhh, that would make our VX look like it's got a "dirty sanchez".

Don't even go there, Uncle Pervie....

I think it will look good, as a matter of fact, Jaos sells one just like that for the Rav4's Front end. I inquired about getting one and maybe having Tone wip up some brackets to suit, but for $750 for the Jaos "Front skid Bar", was not worth it.
