    Kat, you are AWESOME!
    I will organise marketing among Russian VX owners, I know they are in huge demand, and will come up with a bulk order before X-Mas!!

    p.s. Would be really good to see the pictures of colored versions of the flaps, including mounted on the roof-rack!

    Great Petr! I am going back thru my memory to contact anybody I can recall that had any flaps missing, so I'll check you off my list for that.
    Thanks!

    Want me to hold the knobs up in place of the flap so you can get an idea on colors? I can stick the shaft in where the hex bolt is.

    No, Kat, just when you have the first set of flaps in any different color manufactured, please put them on and take a picture... just want to make sure flaps of different color don't look "gypsy" on a fully black roof-rack..

    p.s. I already have orders for 25 flaps and 5 knobs, and counting

    Does anyone have a source (besides Isuzu) for those C-clips used on the spare tire cover knobs?

    In the Future Im hoping to make the rail covers with & without holes for the roof rack. Those thin parts are hard to mold and cast without imperfections. In the meantime just running these Yak Flaps and Spare tire covers on the red carpet and fulfilling orders! So Stay tuned!

    This last weekend, we installed some knobs and flaps, and they both work very well. You can pry the old E-clips off with a flathead screwdriver -- just put the blade on either side of the fuzzy part and pry away from the bolt -- then you can snap them back on the original with just finger-pressure.

    This picture shows black:

    I'm thinking of getting a set of Foxfire knobs, I think the contrast will look great. I think the Protons, Ironmans and either of the silvers would look good with matching knobs, and they don't look gaudy or anything (unlike like the purple ones I'm also planning on getting! )

    Anybody get any flaps or knobs in color yet? Any pics?

    Thanks a ton Jason for successfully making these! Now there won't be any nekkid roof racks missin' their flaps!

    Jason is working on matching blue knobs for me. I'll post pics once I get them.
