Aerotop Dave Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 What do you make of this on Supraforums? http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=241405 Seems to be quite an anti-Veilside front bumper thing going on, and then it ends up with someone saying 'MUST, MUST, MUST get rid of any and all Veilside components!! What's it all about? Why the problems with Veilside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 I'm gonna get shot for saying it but IMO the Veilside front bumper and rear spoiler look well cheesy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerotop Dave Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 Sure, over here we'd have a difference of opinion with some for and some against, but practically everyone in that thread says 'get rid of the bumper' ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazer Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 I don't get it either. Sure, some don't like the Veilside wing - even I have my doubts at times, and I suppose you could call the front bumper "cheesy" - but I would disagree with "ugly" and the need to get rid of anything veilside.

michael Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Maybe it's a bit 1994 now? Still the best skirts though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willson Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Yeah, its just done to absolute death over there. I mean, its a pretty old kit and it was never very subtle. They do like different things tho. They seem to think a huge front bumper looks fine without skirts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesC Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 I dont mind the skirts or the spoiler, but i really dont like that front bumper. I would call it really ugly! :flame Dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Killer Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 My 2 cents (I supposed you don't have cents in the UK eh?) from the USA: Veilside was the first (and for a long time only) body kit company in the USA. By now everyone has their front bumper and/or hood. Actually I should say by now everyone has a crappy fitting, poor quality, ugly fake bumper made in Taiwan that hangs further down on the right than the left. Now days I can get pretty much any body kit from Japan. Also, you have Do Luck, Bomex, and Top Secret officially in the USA now which gives easy access to their parts as well. Veilside still makes the best quality parts that fit awesome and hold up very well. Just played out in the USA unfortunately. Oh, for a good read take a look at my rant on Bomex and how far down the slope they have traveled. http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=172507 and http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=193049 Cheers, Dusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Depends on the colour IMO. I still really like the look of mine (PITA though it is). Never liked the rear spoiler though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 lol - Long live Veilside! Anyway the Americans have never been a good place to look for opinions on matters of taste and / or style so who cares what they think then or now. They have better taste than a lot of the ones I see in this country and those fresh off the boat. I totally agree with them, the Veilside kit is played out, every one has it, but that alone is not a reason to dislike it. The lines of the Supra are smooth and that kit is just totally in your face, even the skirts kinda stick out. But also its the choice of ricers and and copies that make cars look riced out and OTT are usually based on the Veilside looking kits, on all models of car.
