Haven't ruled out any of prior ideas, but did think of another idea....
please tell me if this is totally stupid or may be doable.....or doable but a boatload of money....or would it likely mess up the tubular metal, etc...etc...etc...

What about buying a set of guards (Black tubing style guards) that are pretty CLOSE to the VX shape, then have the fabricator modify them?? Then get them powdercoated to finish them off.
THOUGHTS????


I saw these from an Expedition, and they're only $35 +$14 shipping which is a great deal.....
