    I think with any mod, it's all about personal taste. Most of you who lift and create more of a trail-ride would probably not do this type of mod - obviously, as it has no purpose when you're in the middle of a pit trying to hop out into mud. For those who use their VXes as a street ride, I think this mod could look good and be fun to do, provided you find the right kit configuration and either have the skills to pull it off or can pay someone to do the job right. One of the interesting things about the VX is that it can appeal to both off-road and street-rod types...

    I dunno...it would be almost as functional as half doors on the trail...just pop em up & hang your head out for better self spotting...

    AND, as an added bonus...

    if you DO find yourself in a mud pit, they open out a little, & up a LOT...MUCH easier...
