Yes, I did use the original fangs, they clip on in the back of the grill.
The shop has a $100 minimum so my suggestion is to get together with another owner and split the costs (they will do 2 sets for $100)
It takes about 3 weeks depending on how busy they are. Unfortunately I can't find their # I think the are called "High grade plating" located in Queens NY. I found out about them through "Hotsauce" another VX owner on this site.
Hope this helps,
Mercer

Looks real sharp, gotta do that to mine. Chrome is a difficult surface to get paint to adhear to, be sure to use an industrial "WASH PRIMER" before flat black. It's a yellowish-green primer that's mixed with more thinner than paint (hence wash) and it will adhear to any metal.

Hey Bantan;
Like your chrome fangs. Could yu tell me where yu got those small lites in lower airvents holes of front bumper? Thanks.

It cost me $100 smackaroos, as thats their minimum order, so I got my wings chromed as well.

Uh, I am a car designer and I don't even know what wings are. Whatcha talkin bout Willis? In Europe they call the front fenders wings, but I'm pretty sure you didn't have those chromed! Now that would be bling!

Oops, did not get a chance to remove the strip before I put the Fangs on, excitment and all!

Yep, that chrome strip is pretty scary! Looks like you forgot to slam the hood too!

Bantan - did you paint your grille?? It doesn't look standard issue flat black - it looks like you painted it with a gloss black paint - yes or no?? Also - nobody else here noticed, but I like those bling bling lights you substituted for the cladding bolts on either side of the grille - what color did you go with??

Yes, I did paint my grill gloss black to match the VX. The lights were red led license plate bolt lights.
