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.

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.

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.

I think it'll look better in black.
