The rx7 bumper looks like it has melted onto the floor in front of the car.

Thats something i dont like about aftermarket kits...the front lips stick out to far and look like a spatula.

Best front nose i seen is the Border type 4. Agressive yet smooth a stylie. Just need some skirts to match it.

The new veilside stuff is nice, quite a bit more toned down, it's somewhat like their older older kits now.

Veilside is extreme high fashion like Versace stuff...not really that great looking, but very expensive.

Since Veilside won't let me still there picture, Heres a link to some cleaner pictures or the kits. The new FD kit looks like a cross between the cwest and old veilside bumper if that makes sense. http://www.veilsidejpn.com/info/d1-gt0.html

You're right, it's not F&F, it's lamer.

The tree could be a symbol for something in japanese culture, but WTF does it have to do with a CAR.

I live in South Dakota, and you will NEVER see a HUGE pheasant graphic running down the sides of my car. EVER. The day outrageous graphics die can't come soon enough.

here's one I took:



It was really hard to get a decent shot as the lighting on that stand was intense.

As stated, it's a more subtle kit than we're used to from them, but I will say:

* It looked worse in the flesh

* The graphics looked better (but still crap)

It's a car show man, they have to catch the consumer's eye somehow. I didn't say i'd do that to my car.

I know it's a show car, and I realize the graphics are there to attract attention. My point was, the graphics, like a lot of the body kits, are getting to be completely over the edge.

The new kit is so tight!!! I love it, and I definitely agree with the "redemption" note. I don't like the graphics, but I personally think that Veilside is really on to something with this kit.

I agree that the companies need every edge in a car show to get attention. I'm going to have to agree with a lot of other people however, the tree theme has to go. I DO like the pheasant idea though .

Veilsides S15 at D1 looked beautiful. They had the 7 kit at their stand at D1. Looked okay, personally I would go with the Vertex kit before I go with the veilside one. That S15 was so georgous though

a few words of the wise and tasteful:

Stock, Carbon fiber lip, sides, and rear diffusor, single color paintjob, no stickers or trees please.
