    Well, thanks guys.
    On a side note.
    5 months ago, I attemped to contact the asian Vx'ers about the 2 mode rear lights and plates and never heard from them. Now, all of a sudden. They emailed me wanting to buy a dozen plates,lol.

    Workmeistr, No worries.
    With anything, If you do anything to your vehicle,It's best to check your local and federal laws. As for the lights, I knew I was legal in Pa for tinting them. Just wanted to have the exact requirements before I posted. Pa has some strict laws on somethings and not on others. Like window tint , the law states the front door glass has to allow 75% light through the tint "aka no tint allowed" and for the other windows no requirement on them.You can black them out aslong as you have side mirrors,lol.
    I hunt down some pic's of the SX/4. I stripped it out totally now and am making it modern styled. I do this for a living plus build custom show computers for Nvidia and other company's for exhibits ,movie premiers and such.
    Here's one I did for Nvidia and hasbro:

    I suggest you tread carefully on selling your stuff to those guys, lest you repeat history:

    I'm not sure what those guys have ever supplied us, though they have ready access to a ton of JDM accessories to make molds. Personally I wouldn't bother with them, I imagine you'll probably have your hands more than full from US buyers.

    vt_maverick,

    Your right. I just thought it was funny they contacted me after 5 months. So, I was planning to do the same in my reply to them.
    I don't have a interest on selling to them and as far as what i'm making i'm just making what I personally want for my Vx's and if someone wants something i'll make it for them.
    Once I get these skid plates out the door ,i'm going to finish off the jdm style light mount. I needed to do both so they fit properly if mounted together.

    Max, just to be clear, your craftsmanship look top of the line, and that custom computer is awesome! Sorry I assumed your entire brakelight housing was tinted, because honestly in the pictures that is what it looks like. The laws here in TX are far more strict I think. Here are the TX rules:

    (d) A taillamp shall emit a red light plainly visible at a
    distance of 1,000 feet from the rear of the vehicle.
    (1) visible in normal sunlight at a distance of at
    least 300 feet from the rear of the vehicle; and
    (2) displayed when the vehicle service brake is
    applied.

    But I think the reflector one is the one that the LED brake light mod breaks, and I do not think I am compliant on this one:

    § 547.325. REFLECTORS REQUIRED. (a) Except as
    provided by Subchapter F, a motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or
    pole trailer shall be equipped with at least two red reflectors on
    the rear of the vehicle. A red reflector may be included as a part
    of a taillamp
    (b) A reflector shall be:
    (1) mounted at a height from 15 to 60 inches; and
    (2) visible at night at all distances:
    (A) from 100 to 600 feet when directly in front of
    lawful lower beams of headlamps; or
    (B) from 100 to 350 feet when directly in front of
    lawful upper beams of headlamps if the vehicle was manufactured or
    assembled before January 1, 1972.

    But once again I am glad you (and it seems like many others) are happy with the front skid and lights, they certainly look high quality, but I just hope your lights don't break due to "skidding" on something ;-)

    Have you considered making a design with no lights?
