Modified Veilside front bumper

Anyone see this before?

Watching the video on youtube I was thinking it was a modified INGS+ bumper but it is actually a Veilside bumper.

Wow that could be a coupe things,,,
First that comes to mind is MS with flared side grills, but then there is the strange way the lines come down in the center from the headlights and dont blend back into the horizontal line above the grills

yeah but that little bit took it to a new level,,, and taking that length out of it brought it back into the same proportions as the MS bumper,,,

Not taking anything away from the Veilside bumper but you have to appreciate the work. You can tell a lot of time was put into modifying the major design elements of the bumper and results are impressive.

not too many people realize that the veilside and MS are very close in proportion....its the curves that fool your eyes.....and as for any one who is actually using one for performance, the bumper has a significant cooling effect on both oil and water temps.....while driving 65+ my car was consistently 10 degrees cooler because of better air flow
