    Let us know, Etl. If it fits good, I'm down for one also. I have so many rock chips and it would be nice to avoid getting more.

    ok.. so who ACTUALLY thought id be able to wait til tomorrow to try the thing on? you were WRONG no way i was gonna be able to wait.. haha my girlfriend brought the VX home, i ran out, gave her a quick kiss and almost knocked her over tryin to get to the hood release so i could put it on... at first i was like OH NO cause there were lots of air bubbles and a generally awful fit... then i stopped worrying about overhang in the front because the instructions say its okay to roll it around then use the trim to hold it... which i did.. and before i knew it.. presto.. it fit wonderfully.. only complaint i have is that the trim piece they provide was like 1" too short, it makes it kinda difficult to finish it, and you cant really cut corners because if you do the trim will hit other body panels.. take note around the headlight area, i dont have headlight gaskets, those who do will have to take extra care to get it put on nice and tight to not interfere with them
    overall impressions

    i like the finish.. very nice satin finish
    looks very smooth, only rough spots on mine are over two rock chips that started to rust and i havent had time to touch up, so they bubbled a bit, you can see those pushing through the bra
    it sits nice and firmly, doesnt slide around, while trying to adjust for a good fit, i couldnt slide the bra around without taking about 60% of it up first
    it wiped clean with just a microfiber cloth, no more finger prints or dirt (threw some on and wiped it off to see LOL
    if someone really wants it.. they can take it... but it will be a pain
    really easy to take off once the hood is popped.. the second time i put it on, it took me about 5 minutes, so its possible you could take it off and put it back on only for road trips/offroading, just remember you need to wax the hood before you put it on.. any other questions just ask, anyone interested in the group buy please send me a pm with your email address and i will send email updates about progress.. overall i would give the bra a B+/A- simply because of the trim piece length being short, other than that i have no complaints at all.. worth the money for sure even before ive given it the road test

    all the photos can be seen here....

    ...and here are the highlights






    with a longer trim piece (which i will request) the part above the passenger headlight will not stick up

    I'm down. Count me in on a group buy. I'm sending you a PM now.

    Just thinking ahead...do you think these will be available for some time from now? I'm finding that VX parts are getting harder to find and just in case (knock on wood) that I get into an accident I certainly would want to replace this. Would you think they will be available for at least a couple of years?

    I'm definitely down for one!

    Thanks
