    Talking New pic's of my VX with roof scoop.

    These are the pic's of my VX today, not best lighting, the roof scoop is 95% complete. Just needs half of the rubber for the inside part on the roof, to cover the place I cut and give a nice end trim. the last 2 pictures is with the air vent open and the other one closed. You can see that I'm not done.

    I think its......................AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Good for you man, regardless of what the naysayers thought, I think it looks sharp. Is it functional yet? Meaning, if you open that bad boy on the freeway, does it turn into a 70mph wind tunnel inside

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Thanx Marlin, yeah when i open it, i gets cold fast and you get more air then you can ask for. Windows up and scoop airing, good for the hair dew of my wife, . Also if you crack the windows 1-2 inches, you create pressure and you rush more air inside the cabin from the scoop, like how the rally cars do to get fresh air. Very functional.

    -I'm not sure what bike rack it is, but I can tell you i bought it at pep boys.
    -It works well, can carry 2 bikes but holds much better with just 1 bike and no front tire.
    -I carry a mountain bike on it.
    -Yes, it has scratched One small area,the upper half of the spare tire area on top of the half moon if you don't move the soft pads closer to the center it will scratch it, that happened to me, but easy fix. The seals are fine and no water leaks.

    Mrs. Coastie in pinched nose voice- "Really, you couldn't wait to do that until we were out of the truck?!"
