Since I just got in an accident, insurance is paying for my new front bumber I had a veilside kit on the car, but I called them up and the said it will be the middle of november before they get another bumber in, so opinion part. Do you think I should wait or go with the Ixion front bumber? I like that one also just want some peoples opinions since im not paying for it laugh.gif

I'd go for it. Change the look, try something new.

If you get the Ixion front bumper, I don't think it's nearly as low as the Veilside. It may make it look funny, since the sideskirts are so low and made to flow with the Veilside front. Waiting til november isn't bad, but if you want the Ixion front I'd go for it. Just try to find out how much higher off the ground it is.

ok well I sent them an email asking the exact specs of the front bumper just to see how far it is from the ground. In the pics it doesnt look to be that much higher than the veilside, so I guess I will have to wait and see. Unless anyone on this site has this front bumper but I have not seen it yet.

I think the Ixion front kit looks really damn good but i'm not sure how it would flow with the curvy veilside skirts.

the IXion is a pretty low bumper, but not sure if its as low as veilside.. im sure the ixion will take much longer to get than a veilside. and no company is going to give you 'specs' on the bumper of how low it is. you could do a HD lip on the ixion to give it a lower profile to match with the Veilside if it was not low enough.

i don't think Ixion will match up with VS style sides anyway.
