    i think it looks great with the headlight covers on, it blends everything together...

    you VX looks GREAT btw, looks like its off the showroom floor. do you use the refinish/restorer or what?? my cladding looks nothing like that, yours looks like its almost painted lol....

    oh, and where did you order those covers, if you dont mind me jacking a little bit of your style?

    Sorry guys but i got to disagreed with you on this one.

    I bought the covers & use them 24/7 other wise it make no sense at all to pay & wait to have them on the VX.

    However every opinion is respected & welcome
    Dakar was just the begining.

    Thumbs up Sweeeeet!!!!!

    I LOVE IT! I've got the same look on mine (headlights/no plate)... Now I can see what it's going to look like with a lift and meats! Nice!!!

    BTW... the part about the covers "protecting" the headlights is not 100%true... They actually damage/scuff them up after a while. You can put the "loop" side of a velcro strip in strategic places on the underside to help avoid this.

    Looks AWESOME!

    Careful on the plate Ryan. You have the same setup I did until Pct 5 popped me about a month ago. Let me go (professional courtesy perhaps) but that ticket can get expensive. I switched to putting the plate back on.

    I've lived in Dallas for 20 years with NO plates on front.(I hate the look)No cop has ever said a thing.
    I did get pulled over,in the middle of nowhere,by a sheriff on the way back from Moab. He must have been bored.

    I have never run the front plate either......I act stupid when pulled over, only once did DPS pull onto shoulder, let me pass, only to get behind me and pull me over for that alone! Warning is all I got......they did make me get out of the vehicle and stand in the ditch due to the weapon.......LOL

    Knock on wood!! The state was going to drop the front plate law a couple of years ago.It would save the state millons of $.I guess they changed their mind.

    Mean looking ride there man.

    I like the light covers on the ebony VX, not sure I would like it on any other colour.
    And by all means, take them off at night.

    Damn, wish I could but those tyres in Aussie.
    They look mean.
