I had a reason for doing it. The VX was in an accident back in 04, drivers fender is not the original, it is a much lighter after market, you can tell by knockin on it. They did an awesome jobon the paint match, but the paint itself is cheap. It chips if you look at it, and I was just tired of touching it up. No more touch ups for me. I will have to post a distance picture, its actually not so bad. I do need to finish the insert and start on the cladding.
I think the Linex version looks pretty sweet,minus the PVC pipe on the front and the dryer conduit snorkel, but hey, with our trucks, you gotta fab your own stuff.
