THEY FIT: AR Chambers w/Teflon

[kpaske]

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.

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:

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.

i would have thought you would rather go dark with the lenses, imho i think dark lenses look better than clear, i did my front ambers in about 10 minutes with wally world static-cling tint

one of these days ill get to the ones over the wheels, it shouldnt be too hard with some adhesive film and an embossing gun

with the fronts there is very little if any dimming of the light with the film over it

[nfpgasmask]

I don't know. I really like the clearcorners the best. I was sold on those when I saw WormGod's ride with the clearcorners. About 4 months ago I saw a green dragon in Chicago that looked like someone sprayed the inside of their corners with black spray paint. In my opinion, it just looked cheap and dirty. The dirty look is ok, so long as its real dirt. The cheap look I do not want....

Here are two straight shots to show how much the tires stick out...kinda difficult since they don't really stick out more than a quarter inch...

Verrry Stealthy...I like the look.

[Tone]

Still look great. I would have gone with a 285 tire though.

Fangs: No way! I love the fangs!

It took me a long time to make the decision to remove mine, but once I took them off they never went back on.

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!

Yeah, that's exactly what stops me from tinting or covering my lights in any way. I LOVE the look, but if it compromises safety, it's probably not worth it.

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

The amber definitely stands out a lot more. I'm just into a clean, uniform look and I figure if I do one corner I have to do them all. One day...

Tint: 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.

I've had three cars tinted so far and every job was nearly perfect. There are tons of reputable shops in NV, just make sure you do your research and ask for referrals. The window binding is a whole 'nother issue. We really need to find a solution for this, as my driver's side is showing signs of dying, which is much harder to live with than my dead passenger side window.

Line-X: 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...

Yeah, I really wish I would have waited until 2000 to get a Grey/Black interior. Someday I'll find someone to swap with, or I'll have to recover or replace my seats and panels. I personally think Line-X would look very "at home" on a VX, whether it's inside on the floor panels or outside on the cladding, wheel wells, or underside. A bad Line-X job is going to look bad on any vehicle, IMO.

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).

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!

Yeah, that stuff would be pretty cool just for fun. What about setting up a couple of rigs with "paintball" weapons and taking them out on the trails? Whoooo! What fun!
