I definitely don't love it, but the skirts look nice, it's just that the whole front below the headlamps whispers ......F150 Lightning...........

I see the similarity, but at the same time...several cars look like that.

I don't think the kit looks too bad...I'd like to see it in person...MUCH better than the "combat" kit....

Here's a little photochop mod I did...

Lex - Hehehe...yeah, probably have the neighbor's cat up in there...from the picture, it looks like the front end is longer than stock...I would have trimmed back the front end a little...but it could be just from the image...again, I'd have to see it in real life...

The Grille and Emblem makes a difference though...breaks up that large "no man's land" patch of of the bumper...

Well it's back to the drawing board with this kit. It's going in to be redesigned. A lot of feedback from the forum was taken in, although many of you did not like it. I appreciate the useful information provided.

I like it. For the right price - I would buy it. Some recommendations (as suggested before) make allowance for the stock cornering(fog) lights. Make allowance for the city lights on the sides. Possibly bring the very front of the bumper cover back a little more like stock - and that opening is ideal for a nice fmic (actually, if one could be designed to fit a greddy 3row like a glove) I would definitely buy it.

I like Manaray's version better.

Overall for the right price and quality, I would buy it.

Use a 98 front grille and lights, and start from there. The cleaner the lines the better, I like the direction you went with teh supra making a complete rear bumper, that was done nicely. If you create a clean kit that is somewhat stock looking (see autocouture), and reasonable price but still high quality (as all of your kits), people will purchase. Myself being one of them.

Also, there is the issue with the front sticking out so far...as it is, the SC has a long nose and it hits stuff...to make it even longer is a mistake...that's what I like about the AutoCouture kit, it keeps it at pretty much the stock location...(thought it's a little bit lower than stock due to the extra lip)...

The '97+ grille is a MUST IMO...w/o the grille, it doesn't look as nice...

Default Back to the Drawing Board!

Talk to Veilside today, this kit has been scrapped! The new kit will be available sometime next year! So I guess reserving one today is kinda piontless.
