New Veilside Bumper Released! Thoughts?

On the plus side. It's got brake duct openings.

Now the negative.

The grille opening needs to be bigger, and pulled backed. It sticks out to far.

Your list of negatives fails to include the fact that the kit is ******* horrendous.

There's no need to when it's that bad. And since it's Veilside, it will be expensive, too.

Rice!

tried to save this ugly *** kit but still ugly!

If the intent of the kit is to appear "over the top" for photo shoots - then go for it.

If they intend to generate revenue by selling these to customers, I recommend taking a design path that accentuates the aesthetics of the car and does not include openings that look like they need plastic missiles to complete the Gobot look.

karotZ · 10-03-2013, 12:21 AM

It "might" look good on a different colored Z, and probably with Nismo sides and rear and a GT wing. It's not the best looking but mean looking. It does remind me of an RX-8.

FairladyZ10PG · 10-03-2013, 12:26 AM

I think it'll look better in black.

What in the holy hell is coming out of Japan nowadays???

axmea? · 10-03-2013, 01:51 AM

More work to do here. Is this the final product? Black out the opening, put a mesh grille, carve and reshape the quad circular vents. Right now Fuji, Amuse, Zele......and may I add the new Ings+1 Nismo-ish bumper are better. On the bright side, it does look stout and aggressive. As for the skirt, the squared off edge where it merges to the rear fenders does not flow with the rest of the car nor the bumper.

Hope you guys are open to feedback 'cause so far, the reaction has been not so good. We're a critical bunch.

SCOOBY JOE · 10-03-2013, 01:56 AM

well one thing is for sure, is that no one will replicate this body kit lol
