    Why don't you just paint the roof rack mounts black? Black covers up everything!!! My spoiler and rail covers are black you know, and I don't think the contrast is that distracting...

    My roof rack light system is being constructed as we speak also. I can't wait until its done.

    I don't think I would like the black - your VX is all about the black! I noticed your covers being black, but on mine, I think it would look out of place... cheap and accidental even. At least silver would look intentional and somewhat industrial in comparison.

    Yeah, I think a silver color to match your rood rack would do the trick...

    Zues, those lights would look good flush mounted in the front of your rack! Cut holes in the face, put a nice gasket around the hole, mount lights from the back!

    It would be so hard to cut a nice oval hole in it though. I have looked at so many different ways to mount them - even looked at the high corners of the hood! It is just easiest to mount them on top of the rack.

    POR 15 is great stuff for painying over rust. It has no SPF and does have a tendency to break down under sunlight. Another club I belong to The Jensen Preservation Society the editor use it on his patio and noticed this effect
