    That looks great!

    The flush look of the tinted windows up front and the black in the back is great. That wouldn't look as good on mine though! Well maybe?

    I have been driving without a rear view mirror for about 1.5 years now...broke it off, off-roading (head hit it). I had already raised it and planned prior to breaking it to incorporate it higher and in the ceiling but never have yet. So yeah, those back windows are worthless (traffic wise).

    As I said on Boarzhead's photo:

    "Don't get me wrong that kind of looks cool, but why? It takes some of the unique lines of the VX and destroys them. Plus you are basically going backwards as far as visibility. To each there own, and this will look pretty sweet, but I still think it makes it look more like a PT cruiser. That sharp angle of the rear window was WAY ahead of its time, and new SUVs are just now starting to use angles likes that on the rear window glass. Not sure I like getting rid of that or the unique pillar shape between both small rear windows."

    You all are correct that visibility already sucks and makes you become a more aware and hence better driver, but what if someone else borrows your car? Or the Valet guy has to park it? That is what I am thinking of. But yeah I just don't see the point in ruining a perfectly good great looking window, but to each their own, looks kinda cool :-)

    Where the windows used to be.

    I think it looks pretty cool. I've always been a fan of the old panel vans.

    I like it. I think it would look good if a metal panel was welded in place and then smoothed out and the whole thing repainted. It would have to be a pro job, obviously. What would really look cool is a decal of some sort in place of the window. With that area covered, you will have a lot of dead space to fill up, so to speak.

    I think tan/sand color is not right for the VX. The VX is just too futuristic looking for that kind of paint job, but that's just my opinion. Now, the tan on my 1st gen Trooper looks perfect on these old school military-ish boxes.

    Am I the only guy that thought "Pie Wagon" was a clever play on a more crude phrase meaning that VXs attract women?
