I'm not a big fan of the veilside kit personally. But if you can really get the full kit (i'm sure it doesn't fit well at all) for 300 bucks with the wing included, that is surprisingly cheap. I've heard 500 w/o wing. I don't mind and kinda like the sides and the rear of the veilside on the 7. But the front...no way.

I'm not a fan of the Vielside stuff. If you like it though go for it. The price is right. Beware It most likely will fit horribly.

It wouldn't even be the VIS version for $300 ... it'd likely be a copy of a copy of the erebuni sweatshop copy of the original.

I'm not sure which is a bigger crime ... that you killed Tupac, one of the best rappers ever, or that you even considered putting that piece of **** on an FD.

Yeah, from what I hear it doesn't fit well, but the price is definetly an attraction.

RX7club are not kind to Veilside kits. Especially the fake Veilside kit.

But it's your car. Do whatever you want.

yeah, that front looks like ***.

I have the sides for my car, but I haven't installed them yet.
The front ends aren't too hard to install, but make sure you secure the undertray and wheel well liners properly. Sometimes knockoff kits don't provide you with a place to attach them.

Dont buy the knock off ****. My GTC front has cost Me double for prep and painting, they fit like **** and the cost to fit them properly will be as much as the real thing.

Its terrible. worst looking thing ever. The RX is one of the best looking cars ever; I would PAY $300 to keep it OFF my car. Put your money in savings towards a real nice set of rims. nothing will do more for the looks of your 7.

In my humble opinion, the veilside kit ruins the looks of the FD. At the Austin meet recently, there were at least two younger guys with full or partial veilside kits, and I thought they looked atrocious. Of course, I wasn't a big enough ******* to tell them this. Whatever floats your boat, I guess .

My good bud Steve Kan (pluto) has the kit on his 10 second drag car, and I'm not sure even he can get away with the kit--sorry Steve-o

Are you refering to the nude co-worker thread thing on OT?

I have decided the front is ugly as ****, too, actually. I'm thinking maybe just the side and rear with the 99 lip. Or maybe nothing at all.

I'm getting it for $300 cuz my friend has a wholesaler's license.
