Thanks pb!!!
As everyone told me be aware of ordering the bumper reinforcement through Amazon. I just got off of the phone asking to get a refund on what I ordered. When I looked at the part there was a note that said, Fitment Notes: Recycled, OEM #8971435345, Partslink #IZ1006121. The part number in this note is the OEM bumper reinforcement for the VX. The part that was sent in not even close it is a bumper support and the VX does not even have anything like it. So to all of you out there, you were right and I didn't get what I was trying to get. On to plan B or C or whatever it is now.
Also look at BBVX gallery.Quote:

PM MSHardeman. He should be able to get you the contact info for the shop that made his. Not sure if they would give up the design they came up with but they'd certainly be willing to sell you a copy of the bumper itself.Quote:

Are you talking about something external to protect the vehicle for offroad use, or are you referring to something for urban use, or something to go behind the cladding? $400 would be EXTREMELY low if you are referring to an offroad style bumper. I paid over $1200 for mine, and its on a Toyota. It would be safe to assume around $1500-1800 for one on a VX, depending on how complicated and involved.Quote:

Yeah, two bumpers. I'm talking more on the order of this:

Apparently I should have phrased the question more like pbkid...
Most would refer to that as a 'bull bar', i believe westin does make one for the vx, im sure someone else will chime in with a part #.
No worries ash, i think we have 2 conversations going on here :)
What would you guys do first? I have a bumper reinforcement that is completely rusted out. I even just ripped a dangling piece of with my bare hands. Or, would you replace a rocker. My drivers side rocker has a rust hole in it which I have filled. I can't afford both right away.
UH rocker for sure. The rocker is part of the body and if it rusts out, your vx is done for. That bumper 'support' is really only there to help line up the front bumper and protect your front end in a collision less than 15mph, like a parking lot bump.Quote:

guys I ordered the one from rock auto when it came in I knew there was a problem when the box was 2foot long the part inside was a bumper support bracket for a Honda with the Iz1006121 part number on it .Called there tech line who contacted the supplier in California who stated the part number is correct but the picture on the website for rock auto is wrong hope this helps anybody DO NOT ORDER FROM ROCK AUTO UNLESS you call and have them verify that it has been corrected or you will be as disappointed as i was.
Bummer!!
Sorry. You should have read through the thread because I ordered the same thing from Rock Auto just to see what would show up.Quote:

Rock Auto is hit and miss... 50% success when I ordered motor mounts from them. They were very cooperative when I returned one of them. They even paid for the return shipping since the advertised part was completely wrong. Just call them and ask for free shipping.
Besides Mark's experience above, there's a few other threads where members (NocturnalVX) for one have tried to order it, it lets them pay and then they advise it's "out of stock"....it's not out of stock...it DOESN"T EXIST!
Search baby search! :thumbup:
