I got the same kit. And i scratch the front the day i got it. From a going down a slope with a speed hump at the end of it at a HDB carpark.

Well, i think its unavoidable no matter what you do.

Hi Tan280,

I've got the Veilside kit... I don't know how I should put it across... It looks good (see pics), but when it comes to humps, ramps and car park lots, it can be a real pain in the a**. The front will almost definitely be scratched severely underneath when it comes to hump and ramps. The rear bumper is so much lower than the standard RX-8, so you will not be able to park your car fully into a lot because it WILL hit the wheel stopper. After a week of heart-ranching experience of squishing the rear bumper (if you haven't already knocked it out of alignment), you'll learn to park with your nose sticking out of the lot and ignoring others who think you can't park a car properly.

I think someone else loves the Veilside kit more than me - my paintshop owner.

Yup, its definately longer. My car sticks out about 70% of the time. Just have to park carefully.

And i just hit the front alittle yesterday when i drove into my carpark. Slight scratch, lucky removable.

Hi all, just wondering, most of you guys that have already slapped on your bodykit, are you all using originals or copies?

And don't mind sharing, what's the price difference between the copies and the originals. and of course quality as well.

Thanks all
