Line-X'ed the Vx

[VX KAT]

Thanks for the feedback sig. Think I have the wife talked into it, from her perspective anything that keeps me from helping with the kids (like endless cladding treatments) is well worth the money.

Who are you and what have you done with Ashley?
I was really surprised when you were the other buyer of the Line-X'd insert, now the cladding??

Well it's like this, the shop that repaired my VX in Denver sanded and painted the new front cladding to match the rest of the VX, and while it's not that noticeable, you can definitely see the difference after you apply Back to Black (or whatever product) to the rest of the cladding. And the infuriating part is that since it's painted no plastic restoration product will soak in (they just sit on the surface in nasty swirls) and no wax will look right due to the new sanded/textured nature of the bumper. So I've been debating buying a new or like new front bumper but those run anywhere from $250-$450 bucks or more, so the obvious alternative is to redo all the cladding the same way. With two young kids and nearly constant business travel I'm willing to trade a little preservation perfectionism for lower maintenance.

If I did this I'd want as little texture as possible to keep a mostly stock look. I wonder what texture Jo will use on our inserts?

Thanks to Jo for the aggressiveness on that fine piece of work He did with the Brush Guard!!!
Tell you the truth... some people do think twice now about getting in front of me when they exit the Mall's Parking lot....

The Line-X choice turned out looking really good, and I especially like the red accent stripe you added to the body. I've always liked the Grey/Red/Black color combo because I personally think the red really sets off the black and the grey.

Gotta love those detailed white fangs too. I'd say they do a little "get out of my way" screaming too.
