MARLIN--- Excellent job!!! I'm amazed that you've done all of these mod's in your driveway, as your garage is currently used for storage. Your neighbors must think you're totally obsessed and just shake their heads in disbelief when they see you constantly working on your VX.
I like the idea of the rear-facing hood scoop to remove excess heat from the engine bay without ramming rain & dirt as with a front-facing hood scoop. I also liked the "mesh screen" (in your photo gallery) that prevents debris from possibly falling down the hood scoop opening. JOHNNYAPPOLO made a good point regarding if "engine fumes" might find their way into the cabin interior via the fresh air vent near the windshield???
Regarding "striping" of the Rocksliders (I presume)--- How about some Black 3M "reflective" semi-trailer tape along the side edge of the Rocksliders??? During the day, it would look stealthy Black; but at night, the Black 3M "reflective" tape would light-up when headlights shine on your VX from the side (way cool).
