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

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

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

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.

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

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.
