The one on TFAFT is not a really a veilside. It only has the wing of a VS. There is an RE front, non-popup lights and different side skirts.

its a common misconception.

The first Fast and Furious RX-7 was definitely a Veilside CII (with RE Amemiya sleek lights):



I've never really liked Veilside kits. They are gawdy and always seem to add about a foot of overhang to the front end.

I never liked the fron bumper since the first time I saw it on the FD, looked like the lights were just hanging from the bottom of the bumper, so it was out and way out since then.

The new one isnt bad, but I saw it in person (not my cup-o-tea) since the mouth is very small, low to the ground, basically looking like an ANT EATER, only it doesnt eat ants, it eats ROCKS.

C-1 was the first one I ever say
C-2 i didnt think there was too much difference.

Ditto. Never liked the front bumper. I've always loved the side & rear skirts though specially when they have been molded on cars.

You gotta admit...when Veilside was all you knew of, it was HOT. Then things changed haha

But yea I like the sideskirts and rear bumper add-ons...my prob w/ it was 2 things tho

1) too aggressive/edgy for the 7's very sleek lines

2) the fact that veilside has like ONE body kit, which they tinker w/ and make for every single different car LOL

Swifty949---its ok, thats the ant/rock eater I was talking about. The picture there from AUTO SALON makes it look pretty good, the farther you get im sure the better, but hey its a big improvement over the past in my tastes.

I admit that I used to like the Veilside kit back in highschool, but everyone on here complained about its uglyness and I eventually started hating it too.

I remember the very first FD that I saw had a Veilside kit on it with Efini emblems. I never knew what that was back then.

Guess i didn't notice the agressor front bumper. My friend got me a model of Vin's car for christmas (I have an FC), and it doesn't look like the one in the movie.
