    The plate is very easy to attach 2 hex bolts and 3 screws. 10-30min. Great fitment!

    Update...

    Ok, here's the situation. There are about 50+ responses for the rear skidplate alone in the poll and ONLY 8 actual purchases come through. Not sure whether people are just shy or no longer interested in this mod. This has forced me to re-think the game plan to determine whether it's still worth doing. Since I do this out of passion rather than profit, it's hard to pay out of pocket on molds that prove difficult, to at least, break even. I now realize that any same person can click on the poll to bump up the numbers. This would explain the uneven ratio of poll numbers to sales. There's a few nibbles/inquiries here and there. Just no actual bites.

    If sale numbers continue to remain stagnant for the rear plate alone, I may be forced to discontinue further development and offerings for the vx. As my time outside of work is limited. Let me know if you have any questions/insight. Thank you for your understanding. rudy

    I've been working with Ron (Rudy) to get the rear skid plate with the Tone Hitch cutout complete. It's final design is great. If you use the right locking pin you don't have to remove the skid plate to use it.

    Thanks to Ron for a great product. I wanted to screw the top into the cladding and I found some lag screws at Lowe's. They have the same Torx size as our cladding which is a bonus. I just painted them black, they come in a grey concrete color, and they worked great.

    Are these parts still available?

    I'm new to the forum and a new VX owner (1999 Ironman edition), bought in Oct. 2014.

    Can I still get these parts (Skid plates, grill inserts)?

    I wonder if you won't see a significant spike in sales for the side skid plates since those have never been offered before. And BTW I'd be willing to subsidize the molds for them if necessary. But I'd want to be at the top of the list.

    Ron, I want to order a full set (front, rear, and sides) but because of shipping costs, I need to have them all shipped at once.
    I also agree with Vt Mavrick that the side plates should be in heavy demand when you get to that stage.
    What is the best way forward to give you the confidence to keep producing the various molds so that a full set is achievable??

    You can PM me if you want.

    hi PK...

    I'm still a bit apprehensive in investing so much more into molds that is slow to break even. I like to see if I can get one more mod done and then make a decision then. Based on the inaccurate poll numbers, it appears the front is the most popular to pursue. But, based on history, I know that there's a lot of fronts already out there. And some of those same owners have the rears or will be purchasing one soon. So, it would only make more sense to go with the sides as that has yet to be offered (as both you and VT have mentioned earlier). I'll have to sleep on this and weigh out my options later. Thanks for the feedback both of you. rudy

    Ron, just got mine in the mail, and have to say that is one nice piece of kit... But if you back out now, I won't be able to get the matching front piece.

    I'm with the others on the sides as well. But how about the smaller items like grill pieces, shift plates, etc. Would those be easier/cheaper to get set up and possibly help bring in more funds for the front/side molds?

    I'm currently working on molds for shiftplates, mudguards, and hood fangs. I'll be able to release offerings for the grill kits and front clear lenses of the past soon as well. With the grill kits, I'll have the previous and newer designs too.

    Currently getting the side and front plate molds quoted to see which is cheaper to get done first to generate more funds so I can get the latter fabricated afterwards. As suggested by someone earlier, I may do a pre-order for either mod to help with costs. Keep you posted.

    I'm still interested in the side molds. I already purchased the rear (and had it delivered) to complete my F/R set.

    Will buy

    My wife wants a set, (front and back) but we are saving up so we can purchase. I didn't vote on your poll because I knew it would be a little while before we could purchase. It's too bad that people could vote multiple times, or have voted and not been honest and followed through.
