I think use of the VX is a key in making the decision. As you can see, Anita posted a pic of my painted VX. The shop I used added rubber to the paint on the cladding. The colors match up, but I am offered a bit more protection from the trail marks one usually gets. I expected it to be more of a rubbery look and am a bit dissappointed about how "GOOD" my VX looks now, but I am an outdoor enthusiast so if it gets scratches, so be it!!!
My only experience thusfar is a large Ford F350 where the guy swung his door open (I was right in front of my car) and it made a loud bang sound on my car. Fortunatly, no damage to my car and it was only weeks after the new paint!
Mod out your VX and be unique! Best of Luck!!!
