    Yeah I really liked both mainly 1. But I like yours as well and did notice the mounting and the R being longer.

    I work by 2nd st. bridge and live just 10 minutes away from it, in more of the country side of clark county. We should have a meet of some sort. I know one other guy thats on here that lives with in 10 miles as well.

    How about fabbing something out of aluminum? It's relatively soft and with some filing and polishing you could get it to work. Another alternative is to put something non-VX on there - like "Tonka" or something similar - in my mind you can put anything you want (well, I wouldn't put a Ferrari logo on there or some other auto manufacturer, but you get my meaning).

    Buy a piece of titanium and make your own? Somewhere I have an actual image that autox-racer used when he made it. I modified the design slightly (mine is a custom one-off) but I'm pretty sure I still have both files if you want an exact replica. It's just a flat piece of titanium cut into a "VX".

    id say try to make your own VX badge or put something else completely there... i ordered a custom emblem from www.youremblem.com so now my grille says CROSS

    imho the VX-R think is kind of cheesy/ricey...

    Good ideas. Im mad that I didnt think of that myself (cutting my own). Etlsport thanks for the link, its awesome.

    But it was all too late. (22 minutes to be exact). I just bidded on and won the first all RED VXR.... Oh well i will find a use for it.

    how big exactly is that "vx" and how much did it end up costing you?

    let me know if you don't like it.
