Navi,
When dealing with Matt did you mention the problems with your 1st set? Matt is great to work with and would have probably checked into it and if not fixed it would at least advise future buyers of the situation. The problem is that most of his stuff that fits the VX is actually designed for the Trooper and there is probably some small differences in the two. Matt is a very upfront kind of guy and if he was made aware of the problems would take care of you or as I said at least advise future buyers of any mods that would need to be done for proper fitment.
