I don't know Ron personally, I but I know the opposite has been said about him before. And if his front skid plates were anything like his front clear turn signal covers, that I feel sorry for Naoki if he took Ron's design...
And aren't the front skid plates based on the VX-02 design? So it's silly to say anyone stole anyone's design, as it was merely a replica of an Isuzu design in reality...
