Ok,
After taking Jo's post to heart... I thought more about how it drew the eyes to the bolts first. I've liked some of the other examples of VXs that I've seen, particularly the Protons that have yellow bolts, and decided to go a similar route. I painted the bolts gloss BLACK!

I think this is it. I hope. LOL. I do like the look much better on the ebony. The silver would look better on a silver VX. I plan to do black wheels soon anyway.

So, thanks to Jo, for smooshing my ego, just so that I could rebound with a better decision... LOL
Just kidding... seriously. I asked for honest opinions...

Now, I just need to wash the VX and shine-up the cladding.. which of course the bolts will then look almost stock because they'll blend in with the shiny cladding... oh well. It still looks good.
Below, top row, are the black bolts...
Second row is the journey... LOL
