    Ok, I'll start.

    What are you going to grow a really thin mustache, wear tight black pants, and a tight black mesh wife beater? Greasy hair and answer to Guido?

    Really, I'm open to feedback, and almost expect it to be mostly negative. Bring it on!

    I say go ahead. Its your VX so do what ever you want to it.
    I dont know anything about the company but I know some
    of those kits are made better than others. They dont tend
    to save any room in the parking lot most the time either.
    But they look cool. I can see the VX as the type of Concept
    with gull wing doors. Just post pics of the whole thing.
    Id love to see pics of what youve already done too.

    I haven't uploaded any photos yet, but most of the mods the PO did. You can view Medman's gallery. I'll get around to posting once I make a few more mods.

    This looked like the best kit out there. They CNC cut all the hinges out of thicker steel and have ball bearings on the moving parts and stronger gas shocks. Most of the kits are stamped and pricing runs from about $200 to several thousand dollars. They have been making them for years, and no one has had to replace the shocks unlike most kits that stress the shocks sideways and wear quickly as the parts are all cheaply stamped. Most of the kits out there are complete crap. OK for a show car that only gets driven a few weekends a year, but otherwise, I could see where you would have to constantly adjust them. I don't want a headache. Not what I'm looking at, but some of the ones that go mostly vertical, you would save a lot room in the parking lot. Maybe I need a fog maker as well, with the stereo cranked on the theme from 2001: a space oddysey, when I open the door. And of course, I always wear my mylar jumpsuit when I drive the VX.

    I know I'll do what I want anyway, I just would like to hear some feedback, good or bad. It's a superficial mod, so I can take the abuse, I could buy a lot of gas with $700.

    RallyDude, yer scarin' me boy, yer talkin' to yerself!


    I strongly support that anybody can do anything to their own vehicle...like, for example, Luna can remove his 4Hi/Lo lever, but dang, those lambo doors cost a ton of cha-ching, and "my" thoughts are how many other things "I" could do for that much money, and also, how it might increase the risk of theft. They'e not at all to "my" taste, but my taste is totally irrelevant,....... and yer still welcome here!
