THEY FIT: AR Chambers w/Teflon

[Tone]

They look great! Don't know why there was any concern that they wouldn't fit.... 16x10"s would be problem BTW.

Hey Tone, thanks! My only concern was over the center bore size. I was actually a little worried about the offset sticking the tires out too much, but it worked out VERY well actually.

Here is another shot from today:



That's CeCe, she is my happy little chihuahua...

rims looks nice....

kinda a side question....why teh gas mask? too much counter-strike?

[nocturnalVX]

Looks awesome Bart! Now that I see what the Ebony VX looks like de-badged... hmmmmmm.

[Tone]

How about a picture looking down the side with the wheels straight to see how they they protrude? VXCrazy's w/ 31/12.50/16 on 16/8 steel rock crawlers and our 5mos old Chi Sweet Pea.

Hey Tone,

I was expecting the tires to protrude about 3/4" more that what they do. I would say they are about 1/4 out from the cladding. Its hardly noticable. I don't have a straight shot at the moment, I will take one and post later tonight, but here is one that almost shows it:



Your chi is super cute. I sent the photo to my wife (who is also responsible for the candy cane sweater in the photo). I never thought I would like a small dog, but CeCe is really, really sweet. I call her "sweet pea" all the time

Also, I uploaded 4 more photos to the "pics" section of my site, including the above 2:

DO IT!

It was funny, I was at CompUSA last night and I parked under a tree. When I came out it was dark and I could barely see the VX in the shadows. Its TOTALLY stealthy now....just the way I like it. I just need those dang clear side-markers and I am done.

I just need... ...and I am done.

I'm calling B.S. on that one, buddy! You're hooked like the rest of us.

Nice VX, nfp. I really like the stealthy all-black theme, and the Teflon wheels just add to the "industrial" look. Have you thought about any of these mods:

- Remove titanium fang covers (black plastic underneath)
- Blacked out headlight / tailight covers
- Clear corner markers on the rear
- Limo black tint all around
- Line-X covered cladding

Just some ideas for ya, just in case you really thought you were done for a while.

[nfpgasmask]

LOL, yeah, you're probably right. There are always things to do!

Here are my answers:

- Remove titanium fang covers (black plastic underneath)

No way! I love the fangs!

- Blacked out headlight / tailight covers

Again, no way! I love the front lights and the way they look. And I don't think darkening my brake lights is a smart idea. I already have one dent back there!

- Clear corner markers on the rear

Yes, I did think about this. But, the red really doesn't bother me, its the amber I can't stand.

- Limo black tint all around

This is one I am seriously considering. Probably in the spring I will look into this. My problem is that I am scared. I have seen so many horrible, peeling, bubbling tint jobs that I am just a little put off by it. But, on the same token, I have seen some nice tint outs. I guess I just need to find a really good shop and spend the money. But what really scares me is messing with my side windows. My passenger side is already slow, and something tells me that if I tint it, it will be the beginning of the end. I have been spraying silicone lube down there, and it has helped for sure.

- Line-X covered cladding

Another No Way! I love the cladding. I really like the gray/black overall tone of the vehicle, including the inside. Its got that urban camoflage look now, just like my favorite G.I. Joe (Cobra rather) character:

FIREFLY

I think if I had a second VX to really play with, I would do some crazy $H1T to it. I always thought the VX would look wicked with a huge canon or belt fed machine gun mounted on top. I also would like to incorporate some "get-away" mods, like an automatic caltrop dispenser or smoke screen or something (and I have seriously thought about this, it wouldn't be too hard). By now you can probably tell I spend most of my waking hours in fantasy land. Once I get my garage straightened out, and my welding gear setup, I might fab up some sort of mock canon out of pipe that can be attached to the roof rack...you know, just for fun!

If I can get the clear corners, that will pretty much be the last outer body mod I want to do for a while. It would be nice to get tinted, and I am still considering Tone's hitch and black Safari bar, but those tires and rims really set me back, and I still need a roof rack for my bikes and I think I might want a basket for up there eventually also. And that stuff ain't cheap. I did see a cheap reverse view camera at Wal*mart last night actually, which I am thinking about.

Wow! How did you know CS was my favorite video game??? Actually, its much deeper than that. Aside from my VX, this is my other full time hobby:

GAS MASKS

That should answer your question and then some.
