Veilside V1 Front Lip Qs

I'm looking for some more pics of the Veilside Version 1 lip. I like the kit, but the few shots I've found sometimes make me think - train plow. So I'd like some more pics - links, posts, pm's - all welcome & appreciated.

The roads here in the northeast are a bit rough, so I would really like some input on clearance w/the front as well.

Also - does anyone happen to have the Veilside V1 sides & rear w/some other front? R Magic or even just the Mazda front air dam? These 2 are my other considerations, but I'd like to see them together.


NOTE: I have searched - found some pics, found some answers, but I want MORE!! Oh, and pics on a BB would be extra nice.

it is a snow plow, if your ride is lowered you "will" F it up for sure. You might want to run 19's to help but that lip runs pretty low, i hope you like going down ramps and speed bumps at angles..

Thanks. I'm definitely NOT doing both - it's either a kit or lowering.

PM'd shinka213 - thanks again ChirsM.

I am still looking to buy a beater for the winter, and will not do a kit until spring if I have to drive my 8 this winter.

^ I was hoping the V1 front would mean I don't have to shovel the driveway this winter.

well - the roads here in the northeast can get a little treacherous.

My office is near the state dump/recycling center, so 1/2 the traffic is dump/work trucks dropping lots of debris . . .

DYK - the thing on the train is actually called a "cow catcher"?? heehee.

Ive seen the lip in person, and from the front it looks alright, but from the side it looks like a snow plow. Definitly not my fav lip for the 8.
