Default Veilside Bodykit

Hey everyone, my car will be with Veilside in 2 weeks for the production of the 3pc body kit (front, sides, rear). The designer asked me if I had any request or suggestions regarding the kit so he can forward that to the master designer to draw out. I wanted to get all your feedback regarding the design;

-what would you guys like to see on this kit... show some pictures if you can!
-what kits by Veilside do you not want to see on our cars
-What new additions or features would you like to see
I personally have had a Veilside kit for my 02 Celica and loved the design but I know that the body lines of the car are completely different.

Currently they are finishing up Bentley and Ferrari Kit and instead of the master designer going back to Japan, they will extend his stay here to work on the 370 design

Please let me know what you all want to see that way and any feedback.

Thanks!!

+1 for wide body! personally I really liked the 350 veilside kit, but it could definitely benefit from being toned down a little.

Let them make their wild kit if they want. But, at least make a 'simple' functional lip kit that mimics the stock lower lines! Maybe a spoiler that is a tad larger than the stock one, but no where near the Nismo one...

That is all this car needs!!!

That would require some very serious wind tunnel testing, and all the test and measure that accompany these tests!

If they can make a front lip spoiler like the V1 model for the 350Z, they will have a winner. Nothing crazy, just subtle that flows well with the front bumper.

I would buy a lip that looks simple and doesn't stick out too much like the nismo lip, but i will take the veilside lip too. The body kits from veilside are pretty extreme and grotesque.

I have a great suggestion - tell them to take a page from Zele's book - except turn it into their own.

Also, I dont oppose kits but it would be nice to see someone come out with something smooth like Zele and still stay within the stock height of the original bumper so we can drop it without worrying about it being to low to the ground.

So lets sum it up...

Stock height dimension, and something clean and functinal looking like Zele's LOL

+1, the Zele's kit is the best looking so far, do something similar, clean lines that flow with the body.

IMO, Zele is too much... I am not looking for all that..
