Veilside Bodykit
HAS ANYONE BOUGHT AND INSTALLED THE VEILSIDE D1-GT model? IF SO HOW EASY WAS IT TO PUT ON AND DID IT FIT CORRECTLY. I REALLY LIKE THIS KIT BUT I AM NERVOUS ON HOW IT WOULD FIT. ANY INFO WOULD BE GREAT
|
never heard of it
|
is that the one with the bumpers? :icon_no2:
|
Hmm. I can't read all caps..
Ok, maybe I can. I have the rear bumper & the guy had to rework the corner's a bit where the exhaust exits to make sure the bumper didnt melt. The bumper fits well, but the rear support is a bit in the way & takes some modification.. Veilside is a good kit, will fit nice, but will need work. No body kit is perfect. |
nor looks the best:lol2:
|
agreed
|
I have never put a body kit on, is this something i should let a pro do. I talked to a shop in fl and he said it was a direct bolt on. This kit is made of fiberglass should not melt. The other kit that veilside makes is manufactured out of urthene and that one is said to melt in the rear bumber. does anyone have pics that i can see where mods will need to be done and the rear support which needs mod
|
veilside is japanese fiberglass and will require work...i have an authentic one and it wasnt perfect....it wasnt bad either....it is NOT a direct bolt on....let a pro install and paint it...if your referring to the version 1 kit then its a lip kit and the rear has been known to melt with bigger exhaust tips

+1 to what Chrism said... I dont think ANY body kit is perfect...

Since were on this subject , wondering to the ones that have this Veilside what was your wait on it ?
I place an order on 9-11-07 and I'm still waiting . Called them a couple of weeks ago and they told me their in customs. When I first place the order I was told a 2 week wait. So much for that. I went with : Ver.1 front lip D1-GT side skirt Dose it normally take that long? Thanks........... |

the way it looks is also about the complete package......paint, wheels, hood, execution all have a huge impact on it....there are a few veilside 8's out there that look really good in my opinion and some that look like beached lobsters.....i like it cuz its different.....to me the mazdaspeed looks too stock and way too many people have it now.....

So much for the idea of having it on this year.
|
Customs takes 3 days max.
Call again. |
I've heard customs can take around 2 weeks.
|
No it's 3 days for US customs. If there is an inspecton of the container, then it's another week max.
I deal with this everyday. |
razz is right....it all depends on the paperwork but for the most part its not a long thing to deal with
