my REAL veilside d1GT kit on......but not yet painted
This is what i have been waiting for since Christmas and now the end is coming near. The kit is being painted now and i will post pics of it when it is done. I figured since no one has posted the d1gt kit in black that i would do it. So here are the pics unpainted. enjoy~

its call "pre-paint test fit"
Bodykits are always fitted on before painting them to insure fitment

hate to burst your bubble, but that looks like a fake kit. Veilside doesnt have a blue gel coat. Also Veilside comes wiht predrilled bolt holes, and a warranty card so you can get any damaged replacement part for 50% off.

you are a very nice guy and i truely hope your car turns out great, but i still have some questions on the kit. Did the body shop put it on TIGHT already? is the problem on the pictures below fixable??? first the gap @ driver side's rear, second is the shape of the rear bumper, then third will be why is it sticking out???? and is the gap in the front adjustable??? i'm sorry the size of the pictures were adjusted, you can see the original pictures from the first post .

haha.thanks rx8spiritR, no the kit was just put on to see what needed to be adjust it was not put on tight. As i recall, the my bodyguy told me the fglass arounf the headlights needed to be shaved a bit but thats about all. I think the rear is fine it just wasnt "bolted" on tightly. Ummm, also i was under the impression when i researched the kit tht the rear trunk supports had to be removed which is NOT true!! You can keep your trunk supports But the bumper supports need to be taken out. Which isnt a big deal....... it just keeps your rear from braking when someone hits you going 10 mph or slower. Most cars dont even have them nowadays!
