Veilside rear gate w/pics
 

Got the first Veilside rear gate in the states and did a test fit. Everthing fits perfect and the quality apears to be top notch. Take a look for yourself

Nice, but I don’t know how much I would like seein that pillar in my rear view.

Hey, nothing personal, but that "rear gate" is uglier than shit. :)

Out of curiousity, what's the point of it?

i don't like it...honestly, stock looks better, it's cheaper, and you'd have more rear visibility, but that's why it's YOUR car

28 lbs. with the lexan windows,The stock one weighs in at 53 lbs.

Yikes!! How much does that thing weigh?? I personally have never been a fan of
Veilside, but if you like it thats all that matters.

what about a CF rear hatch?

26 lbs. I think

Bro, where in Brentwood do you live. I thought I was the only person in Brentwood with an FD. Sweet finally another FD owner.

Looks like a 1950's Volkswagen :(

Dude, Are You A Russian???

Everybody now! "We all live in a yellow subma...." Sorry. :)

What was the bill on that "rear hatch"....I know the Veilside Full Fortune kit costs around 15,000?!

Never heard of Ray Lochhead and Shane Racing/SR Motorsports???

yeah it kinda does. but folks ill tell you what, ugly or cool, this dude can say his is THE only one in the states with that hatch. call me crazy, but i think thats pretty cool to be one of a kind. :bigthumb:

I think it looks pretty cool. Not all that practical, but it looks nice.

It might look alright after it's painted. You are gonna paint it...right?

Yes I know about Ray Lochhead/shane racing but he lives out in the cuts of brentwood.

Ummm.... well the important thing is that you like it.

I personally would hope that someone would slap me upside the head if I tried to put something like that on my car... talk about tacky.

:puke: Wow that looks ugly. Stock looks way better. Just my $.02

lol

How much did reducing 25lbs cost you? What other weight-reducing mods have you performed?

-s-

Did the glass come with, and How much did that cost you?

If I had $15,000 to blow, I would get the Veilside Fortune kit. As a complete kit I like it, but I don't know if the hatch goes good w/out the rest of it.

It doesnt go good with the car unless you do have the rest of the fortune kit IMO.It really looks out of place.

So I'm the only guy who thinks the Fortune kit is a disaster? And this is coming from someone who actually likes the recent D1 type Veilside kit!

i don't like the fortune kit...the back end looks ugly (something about the tail lights i don't like), the rest is pure sex

i personally think every veilside kit is a disaster. i hate them all, althought theres one thats ok...well the only one that doesnt make me run and cover my eyes ill put it that way.

i dont even know wtf is up with that hatch...im speechless...at 1st i thought it was some weird reflection of light but as i i scroll down no theres some weird fuckin think going down the center of the window :rlaugh:


does that wing come attached? at 1st i thought thats wat this was about. i kind of like it.

poor poor cym

I would like to see it without the wing, painted, and with dark tint on the lexan windows before I judge.

first you cant tint lexan and second i just dont like the piller goin up the middle, painted or not.

I'd rather have the other FD in the background!

Not True at all...Lexan can come Tinted. Thats probably MR10 material....I used to cut and shipall the lexan sheet to customers. Its a pigment added to the raw material before extrusion. It has to be ordered though

The fortune kit is one of the few veilside kits lately that I thought was halfway decent. But man that hatch is wierd. Kudos on having something original though I guess, probably won't see many of those stateside.

It's ok overall.

The thing that I really like is the headlight kit

whats thats suppose to mean

Love it
 

Pretty sick! Question though, what's the procedure for the glass with this kit, does anyone know? Does it go over the stock hatch window or are these custom panels. If so, acquired where?

If weight savings was the primary goal, I'd say there are better options that would weigh the same, or less, and offer much better visibility. If you want to know what everyone else thinks, this will be jarring experience. I'm in the camp that does not like the looks - especially with the absence of the rest of the kit.

So the bodylines all for on a stick body ? Does that mean you could do the veilside with the oem hatch ?
