Mine was the first VX that had Line X applied. 1/16th of inch sounds about right for thickness. Cladding was not primed- Screws were masked. Cost was about $420 as I recall.
One of the best mods I ever had done- No maintenance- Tough as hell- does not peel or separate -takes tremendous abuse when Rock Crawling.
I suggest you do your hood insert at the same time- You will never encounter the cracking problem that so many others have.
