Thinking about taking off my Veilside kit

Default Thinking about taking off my Veilside kit

I spent a ton of cash on this kit back in the day because it's a real kit. Not one of the fake vader kits you see all over ebay. I've also spent a lot of cash fixing chips and scratches on the front bumper because it hangs so damn low. But now I'm thinking about putting the stock bumper back on with a set of turby side skirts I have laying around. If I did that, I think I would want a lip like the Gorilla but I cant seem to find any good lips any more since a majority of the nice looking ones are no longer made. Help me decide what to do?

Did the same . Spend the money on the real thing. Back to factory for a while saving it for when the tib is a classic throw back, if that ever happens.

You can do whatever the sh*t pleases you mang. If you're asking what I would do, I would remove it because I don't like veilside kits. But it's really a decision with no consequences either way.

Take off the VS kit, preserve it somewhere, put on the Turby skirts (extremely rare) and do something unique for the front like either a GK bumper or Eclipse bumper. If you can get your hands on a Gorilla or Studie lip, then go that route for sure. They're pretty rare so combining it with the ultra rare turby's would make your car classy looking but also be more unique than having a VS kit.

Definitely take the kit off. I'm biased but Ive hated the kit since the very first day it was announced that Veilside was making the kit

I don't think the RD1s were ever the read deal. iirc vs only offered them for the RD2. Could be wrong.







I'm not even a body kit person, but I think it's gorgeous.

Though for a DD it's likely WAY too low. That said, if someone want to get rid of one I'm looking to receive.

Might even pay if it's cheap enough
