Julian911: finally got around to taking my Amigo tail light guards over to the local weld shop and get them to add pieces of stock to them in three places. I then (as you aptly described-PAINFULLY) bent them to fit in-between the edges of the door, and under the cladding bolt in the front. Still need to tweak a little. I would never do this for someone else. A total PITA.
For me they really compliment the wraparound merc guard on my front and the Rage motorsports cargo rack on the roof. I know the "tube-heavy" look isn't for everyone, but it is the overall look I am going for with my VX. After I return from deployment I want to get some black rims and aggressive tires, and a satin paint job. I am hoping prior to leaving I can Gatorback the cladding. We'll see if that pans out.
I will add photos when I can take em in the light.
