    JMO...those covers are purely for looks. They will not hold up to any real punishment except maybe if you back into a shopping cart at the mall. If its just for looks you can just use brake hard line and a bender (they are dirt cheap). Have someone tack them together with a welder add mounting tabs and paint any color your heart desires. Simple!

    Yeah, I know they're "mostly" cosmetic,...have ya seen my front/rear skids? ....But we've gotten into some pretty thick brush and chaparral around here where the branches are just at the right level of the tail lights, and drag along them (and the sides )...which is why I have to buff the heck out of my paint with the Griot's stuff!

    But I've always liked the look and have had them on almost every SUV I've had in the past 15+ yrs.........I even put some type of cheap black pinstripes on my '84 CRX tail lights! That's why I'm so gung ho to finally get them for the VX.
    I haven't called the fabricator guy yet, but I will soon.


    Simple you say????...simple for you, but not for me....

    I'll get there....eventually.....and no, not purple....even I have boundaries I won't cross
