    Uh, yeah I would NEVER drive at night with these on, period. I stated that above the photos Good thing they snap on and off in a few seconds.

    i think it looks great with the headlight covers on, it blends everything together...

    you VX looks GREAT btw, looks like its off the showroom floor. do you use the refinish/restorer or what?? my cladding looks nothing like that, yours looks like its almost painted lol....

    oh, and where did you order those covers, if you dont mind me jacking a little bit of your style?

    Sorry guys but i got to disagreed with you on this one.

    I bought the covers & use them 24/7 other wise it make no sense at all to pay & wait to have them on the VX.

    However every opinion is respected & welcome
    Dakar was just the begining.

    Thumbs up Sweeeeet!!!!!

    I LOVE IT! I've got the same look on mine (headlights/no plate)... Now I can see what it's going to look like with a lift and meats! Nice!!!

    BTW... the part about the covers "protecting" the headlights is not 100%true... They actually damage/scuff them up after a while. You can put the "loop" side of a velcro strip in strategic places on the underside to help avoid this.

    Looks AWESOME!

    so what are you doing with the front plate then?

    it looks good.. i want to get rid of my front plate.. but md requires it... although.. i drive around in pa 99% of the time anyway... hmmm

    anyway looks real sweet w/ the headlight covers too.. looks like a real pissed off giant bug! with them off it looks like a friendly giant..lol

    Careful on the plate Ryan. You have the same setup I did until Pct 5 popped me about a month ago. Let me go (professional courtesy perhaps) but that ticket can get expensive. I switched to putting the plate back on.
