Okay, the debate is ever raging about how friggin ugly the Veilside kit is on the RD, and how overplayed it is. From the 400 companies selling bogus copies, to the poor bastards that didn't know there were other kits for their car, we have TONS of folks that seem to like this kit.

So why do they get so defensive when it's bashed?

Hmm...

Please, have at it folks. And if it gets ugly, we will LEAVE THIS OPEN and move it to Gripes and Complaints.


Here is the Veilside kit.

http://veilside.com/veilsideusa/aero...ai/Tiburon.htm

My personal opinion?

Veilside tied for the 2nd ugliest bodykit for the RD EVER.


Tied for second would be the Rector bodykit.

And first, of course, is the 4 eyed kit.

Maybe we should have a "Nicest Bodykit" thread too? I personally love the Zefiro Turbo Edition, Ixion, and the MPS. Hell, even the Zefiro Evo was very nice.

Then there's the lipkits. Don't get me started!

Don't you mean 8-eyed kit? Lol... The stock RD2 is already a 4-eyed freak wink1.gif

Personally, I really liked the VS kit, when I first got my car, it was the first kit I saw, maybe that's why I liked it cause I hadent researched much, but now that I've seen a load of kits out there, my best choice would be the Zefiro Turbo body kit, second cuda 1. I have got a kit from Extreme Dimensions, and personally I hate it now. If I had the money I would of gone for a real body kit, and if anybody made a poly urithane body kit, I would have been all over it.

I think the VS kit is just a waste of money, you pay $1k+ for the real kit and you cant lower it since it's so low, and you have to park like five feet away from the garage door cause the front bumper goes about two and a half or three feet from the car...

dood, the rector is the fugliest thing alive..



there are a few nice kits for the tib.. the nicest kit IMO, would be a mix match of the following.. Zefiro Turbo front, King Side Skirts, Ixion Rear.. then the Zefiro Turbo kit, then MPS/Cuda II, then Ixion..

Worst kits: Rector, Zefiro, VS, VS style, Cuda...

just my opinion..

and those arent including lip kits..

I meant 4 pairs.

Ugh.

It's fugly.

Did you CLICK on the pics?!?!?

I don't think he was contending the ugliness, just taking the chance to make fun of your word usage. smile.gif

that 8 eyed one is ugly as sin lol

i love the VS kit, but i do agree that alot for tibs have it. the 2nd would be the genius bumper. If people don't like then so be it, but don't call someone eles car ugly as sh*t, I thought this was a forum to help people out not knocking them for there choice of body kit. there's some rd's on here that i think are nasty but if the owner thinks it great then so be it! you can't please everyone all the time.

I can't believe that your doing a poll on this. why can't we all just get along lol

Please, you pussies, if you vote yes, POST WHO YOU ARE!

I'd like to do a correlation between those that like this god awful kit and their age/member date.

Here's my question:

If a kit looks the same and works the same (i.e. same quality) who give a crap if it's a rip off or not? If I'm droppin cash on a body kit (which I won't be because... well... I don't have cash) I'm going for the best price I can get, screw the name stamped on the inside.

No.
Hell no.
Yes.

I wouldn't buy the VS or a VS-style kit but I don't mind the look of it on the RD2.

It definitely transforms the car from something OK into something pretty crazy... a little Supra-ish, even.

It's just not really suitable for a daily driven car, IMO. I know a lot of you guys drive your VS-kitted cars daily but I'd still put money on the fact that you do so with extreme care & have suffered the odd nasty scrape here & there.

very true, i drive mine with alot of care

who focking cares.......jesus everyones car is going to be different because people all have different likes, this debate isnt even a f*cking debate because first of all you dont go starting off a debate dissing the other side, someone obviously hasnt taken english or comp in a while lmao.gif

no wonder why i dont get on here very often...........

Saw my first VS kit in person the other day, up till that I thought they weren't bad. As for the GT project, it looks like a VS and stock front smashed onto the bottom of a Cuda 2. And really I haven't seen enough lip kits to have an opinion yet.

I personally do not even like the looks of the RD2. When I bought my (late) 99, if it had been an RD2.. I probably would have been driving either an MR2 spider or a Subaru 2.5 RS Impreza (the WRX was not out then)

I like the vs kit.

i really dont know what the big deal is either, there hyundai's, nothing specal....... not very fast and you cant find jack shit for them.

What the heck does this have to do with the topic? Moron...

RD2s look fine without any body kit, the only thing I would ever do is maybe a lip.

Lowered + Rims = sex

Then why are you on this forum?? and obviously you havent searched..there a plenty of fast hyundai's around..

Anyway, I voted No, No, No.

I cant stand the Veilside, I dont think theres anything appealing about it. I like some Erebuni kits, and Zefiro isnt bad either. I like both the Cuda kits as well.

Honestly, the tib doesnt really need a body kit..a lip kit would be enough if you wanted something.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (tunershark87 @ Oct 30 2006, 06:07 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>who focking cares.......</div>

Obviously you do. You brought it up in another thread.

I'm personally tired of everyone bringing it up all the time (yup, even me!), so this thread will be the battle ground between cowcatchers and EYE catchers.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>jesus everyones car is going to be different because people all have different likes,</div>

Well DUH. No one said every RD should look the same ya moron.

Sure it's a debate. I'm debating the anti rice/cowcatcher side. You are debating the "Lack of taste" side. Sounds good to me. And if you follow ANY debates at all anymore, that's ALL they do, is diss the other side.

As for English, you couldn't be more wrong son. I've probably taken one more recently than you. And what do you mean by "comp"? I'm on a computer quite a bit.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>no wonder why i dont get on here very often...........</div>

Not like it matters much, what good have you done for the site or hobby recently? Or at all?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (tunershark87 @ Oct 30 2006, 06:44 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>i really dont know what the big deal is either, there hyundai's, nothing specal....... not very fast and you cant find jack shit for them.</div>

Unkay, you are bringing up english classes and type like that? Learn how to punctuate and spell, it's part of our forum rules.

Verbal warning.

Now, for talking anti RD/Hyundai, you get an official warning.

You can find a TON for them. Just gotta know where to look. You just proved my point, you ONLY bought that bodykit because it was the ONLY one you could find.

As for fast?

Jon GTR, MadJon, Viper, 2uniq, he says you guys are slow. Oh, and I'll hit up Sport Compact Car and tell them they were wrong about the Beta's potential.

Asshole.

Back on topic, I personally don't like the VS kit. But I've never seen one in person, so I might change my opinion - doubtful though.

I'll say this. A black Tiburon with Z Fenders, Korean Type R skirts, the F2 Evo Bumper and a Cadamurro hood would be the best looking Tiburon I could ever imagine.

Now, if only I could get a Cadamurro hood. Sigh!

I voted NO NO NO...

Unless someone actually was giving me a veilside body kit... I'd take the veilside body kit over leaving empty handed. It's a body kit. Hell, it costs about $1500.

I'd also paint and install because I'd have a full body kit for $250 in paint code LE.

I don't hate the look of the Veilside. I think it's alright. I'd choose the 8 eye over the veilside and actually install 4 more headlamps. I'd like to see more options, i think there's only 6 body kits available for our vehicals and 4 of them have been trashed in this thread.

Actually...

http://www.powerbest.co.kr/shop/shopbrand....=042&type=X

There's more than 8 just for the RD2.

Hell, there's even a few missing from that set of them.

There's about 10 for the RD1 on the RD1 version of that page.

BTW, the most interesting part of this poll so far is how many of you think it's okay to have a copy of a legit kit.

You guys wonder why the legit ones are so expensive and why they are so hard to get anyone to make us a new kit? It's because folks don't care who they screw, as long as they get the product for as cheap as you want.

I'd refer all of you that voted YES on question 3 above to check out the fitment of copied kits. I've got SEVERAL pictures from the Nopi Nationals of this particular kit and how bad it fits.

Redz, no one said it had to be a poor quality knockoff... someone can imitate a kit and do it well, that's not outside the realm of possibility.

Also, the reverse of your argument is also true. If companies didn't charge so insanely much (honestly, r&d and production cost for a body kit is nowhere near what they cost) for kits, then no one would bother buying knockoffs. Prices on those are ridiculous, but they charge it because they get away with it. And I don't really feel sorry for them, because obviously they're still making a profit or they wouldn't sell them...

omfg, linetech, GTtech lips.. SEXXXXXXX... lol

i want the damn GENIUS front end SOOOO bad...

and that kit on the orange car is worse than VS, lol

as for the copies.. i wanted the MPS front.. but its impossible to get, so i got the teamsr one.. good price. AWESOME quality and fitment..

Good points you 2.

Wow, almost sounds like a real Debate.

drillsergeant.gif

Um might just be me but wouldn't those of us who voted yes on 3 be opposed to the cloned kits?

Also the VS kit, as well as many other kits for our cars, seems to try to hard to play off the lines of the car, sort of one of those great theory, bad practice deals. Also I would like to 2nd the statement about the GTtech and Linetech lips.

No, No, No (as long as its of similar quality)

I never really liked the veilside, i think its too overdone and everywhere but if you truely like it, thats fine.

My fav is the cuda 2 (the one that socks has) and the kit that gary has(any one know the name??), i cant really choose between them.

guess thats the benefit of NOT being "slow before go"....gives me time to think...haha

Lip kits= fing02.gif
Ixion(fav),Cuda 2, Garys Kit, MPS= fing02.gif
VS- way too many!

If I had to get one of the above, it would be the lip kit on that white car in the linky(guessing linetech) or the IXION kit.

no, no, no smile.gif

I love the second kit by the way tongue.gif

What does it matter if it's a clone or a look alike? That just means more parts available for our cars. It's not taking away from companies, it's keeping the competition's pricing in check.

i've seen the veilside in person. i think the proportions are too extreme like the ass end going too far out and those unnecessary vents. but the veilside in general is there to attract attention.

i think it's the best kit for the 2000 tiburon if you've got nothing to lose. personally i like first gens and would think that there would be cleaner smoother kits made that actually match our cars instead of going against the grain.

king kit is the best for rd1's but i hate lips and i've not seen anything better.

Wow.

9 for...

63 against.

The VS RD2 kinda reminds me of the Fortune Supra... which can't be a bad thing...

REDZ: what is the difference between questions 1 and 2? They are both worded in a way that could be interperated as "is the veilside your favorite body kit?" I wasn't really sure about the first one. Is it supposed to read "if someone was giving you a veilside would you take it"?



What would be the difference between receiving the veilside over the Cuda and receving the veilside over the cuda for payment?

The questions are different.

1. The kit was GIVEN TO YOU. IE: FREE.

2. The kit was to be bought with your own hard earned money. IE: NOT FREE.

I just wanted to give it a shocker approach, that this expensive ass kit, wouldn't be wanted by most everyone here even if it were free.

Eh, but the way it's worded it's not 'would you take it if it were given to you' it's 'would you take it over other kits if you could choose one for free'... which means that the answer would essentially be the same for both questions... unless someone is turned off by ONLY the cost.

You're going to pay a helluvalot of money for any bodykit. If i were to buy a bodykit, money would not be an issue. I didn't take varriation of price across the different kits into consideration.

There's 10 bodykits available 9/63 would take this kit. If the field was even, then each kit would have 10% of votes. This is a pretty good body kit if 15% of the people would buy this one out of 10 kits total.
