Veilside Body Kit

I have already purchased the veilside front and hood (D1-GT) and am going to definitly purchase the side skirts but am undecided on the rear as of right now. I know a lot of people don't like the veilside kit, but any opinions on whether the kit would look ok with just the rear part of the app package and the stock bumper or should I just go ahead and get the rear veilside. Not sure if its really worth 850 (installed).

Yes, listen to Chris.. As a past Veilside owner, I recommend you get the whole kit! It will look incomplete and funny at the same time.. Since the front and sides look aggressive, it wouldn't look good with a stock rear bumper.

The failside kit has to be a full kit otherwise it'll look really off.

Chrism- I saw on one of your old posts you have to take the rear reinforcement off to get the bumper on. is that hard to do? how did you go about that? would a body shop do it? And finally off topic, but i saw you were were doing a charity event at the end of the month, where is it?

+1 Front and sides go nice.
I had stock bumper with AP kit. (rear guard or whatever its called)
It flowed nice... i meant it floated my boat.
I didn't really feel the rear, I had it but I sold it. heh

good luck purchasing it.
