Joe-

Please excuse my poor drawing capability, but i think with your experience you can get what im getting at.

This is how i always imagined a custom VX bumper to be on my VX.

Now keep in mind, if i were to spend that kind of money on a full bumper, i would expect offroading protection.

I tried to outline the 'metal bends' in the bumper to make it look angular like im looking for.

I personally think with a shape like the front of the VX, it would need to be very 'tight' to the front end to not look funny (which i know is difficult with an integrated winch)... something that sticks out as far as an ARB does, would like rediculous on the VX. (the last photo of my Runner is what i mean by it fitting 'tight' to the front)

Here is what I currently have on my Runner to give you some sort of reference, it would be similar to this only the 'tube' part would be more shaped to match the VX exterior-
