    VT--- Nice pictures of the sunset!!!

    I really like the fitment of the skid plates, ROWHARD does great work. However, the matching Foxfire color of the plates seems to disappear into the cladding background and is not very pronounced. It seems one has to specifically be looking for the plates to even notice that they are there, instead of the plates saying "Hey, look at me" with some pizazz and pop.

    In analysis of your Foxfire color layout theme; you have a Silvertone roof rack, and matching Silvertone Borbet wheels. In keeping with that same color layout theme on your VX, it is my opinion that the front & rear skid plates would look much better in matching Silvertone color (not Foxfire). In Silvertone, the skids would compliment both the roof rack and wheels and bring the whole package together in union. Plus, the Silvertone colored skidplates would really "pop" against the cladding background instead of being somewhat subdued.

    Personally, I think matching OEM colored skids work best on the brighter colored VX's like Proton, Ironman, Astral/Kaiser. On the darker VX colors like Dragon, Foxfire, and of course Ebony, the matching OEM colored skids seem to be too subdued and disappear amongst the cladding background. IMHO.

    EWWW!!!

    IMHO, stick with the complimentary color scheme ... not contrasting.

    I would agree, but with much less disgust
