Body Kit

[RallyDude]

No bueno on the body kit, but the hood scoop is one of the nicer ones I've seen on a VX (at least from the front view), but I'm not a scoop fan unless it is functional.

It's bizzare to me all the body kits available in Japan. They only produced 1,000 vehicles over there, how could they expect to recoup the initial costs for molds?

I do think it would be great to do a group buy with the Japanese company that sells the faux skid plates, etc. It seems to me that if they have a supply on hand, they would want to sell them, rather than just throw them in the landfill. Over there the VX is a 15 year old vehicle, so between the small # of vehicles still on the road, coupled with the smaller budgets of a used car owner, how many accessories would they still expect to sell?

Perhaps no one has initiated contacting them. Sounds like a good idea on you're part. I'm still looking for mine and very new to the VX but I am in to do a group buy if it is functional and/or really helps aesthetically. No on the kit though, I need mine to go off road. I do like the skid plate on the front bumper and rear too.
