looks really sharp, but the "side skirts" need to go. It looks like the front was installed wrong. Get the MS sideskirts for $700 and it will look even better.

well it's different, i've seen worse personally. Not really that bad, looks a whole lot better than the other veilside kit though.

Maybe rims would make it look a little better.

Thanks for all your opinions...LOL!

Personally, I do not like the side skirts, I found one from MintBlue that I like a lot better. Rims and tires will be next year, c'mon, I aint' made of monsy, this was a big enough investment.

Does anyone else think the front was installed wrong? The reason I ask is because it looks like it is pulling away from the body of the car.

I like the stock look of the VR...the Veilside and Mazdaspeed bodykits really take away from the car, especially when it's VR, imo. I'd rather go with the concept Mazdaspeed kit (if ever available) or Autobahn...

Love it, different side skirts will help a ton. Right now it flows from the front and just stops in the middle with those side skirts. Nice to see something other than the MS kits.

the only thing I like is the spoiler. other than that, your car looked better in the 'before' shot.

I think it would look a lot better without the front side skirt . That skirt seems to spoil the flow .

Kinda offtopic, but, I heard a story about the guy who started Vielside a long time ago. It went something like this....

He was big into motorsports and designed and manufactured various parts for motorsports applications, eventually fielding a race car and team of his own. A freind of his was driving this car, and had a fatal crash after one of the parts he designed failed. After that he decided to get out of motorsports and started designing parts which couldn't cause accidents and wouldn't effect performance, i.e bodykits.

Can anyone confirm this, or is it just some stupid story? Sounds like a stupid story but who knows.
