It would only take money and finding someone who will do some custom engineering and body work.

This is not available from the factory so you have to find someone who can make it happen! ($$$)

It looks good.

Like I said yesterday, if you have the money and finds the "right" people to do the work, nothing is impossible! If you do get this done, please post all the details with images here!

You want a winch because you are going to off-road, right?

If so, then you will likely damage the fragile plastic bumper. Thus, is it wise to spend soooo much money on adapting the OEM plastic bumper for a winch or is it better to wait for a true aftermarket bumper with integrated winch???

i found out that there is some "mechanical jointing" for the bumber and headlight that can be done without affecting the looks of the lx

#1, did nobody see the graphics on that top photo in this post? Just looked odd to me.

I love hidden winch idea!

Did you install it at Sulimani or somewhere else?

What is the towing capacity?

How mutch did it cost?

Can we have more pics of winch on the LX? >>
