    PM MSHardeman. He should be able to get you the contact info for the shop that made his. Not sure if they would give up the design they came up with but they'd certainly be willing to sell you a copy of the bumper itself.

    Ok, I'll check that out. The local shops around here are asking $400 per bumper to fab from scratch.

    no such thing as a pre-made for the VX. Now i question what you mean by bumper though? Are you talking about something external to protect the vehicle for offroad use, or are you referring to something for urban use, or something to go behind the cladding? $400 would be EXTREMELY low if you are referring to an offroad style bumper. I paid over $1200 for mine, and its on a Toyota. It would be safe to assume around $1500-1800 for one on a VX, depending on how complicated and involved.
    are you talking about 1 or 2?
