Well, I would really rather complete a few more projects before I show my car off, but this is LONG overdue. I will simply post new pics after I get a few more things done!
WARNING: I know a lot of you don't like this look, but the Veilside Tib is the first I ever saw of our cars and this is how I envisioned my car seven years ago when I started.
Here is my baby:
I will have to remove the wheel spacers for now, until I get a tighter racing suspension in. It rubs like crazy when you hit any bumps.
I still have to wire up all the lighting and add some more yet. Next major upgrades will be full exhaust and manual transmission conversion.
In a couple years I should finally get to add the turbo and nitrous. Won a local car show today, but it was a joke. My only competition for the tuner class was a turboed '90 Eclipse. Greatlakestib usually does this car show, but he wasn't there this year.
Hope you like it, and if not it's no skin off my back! This is a pretty extreme look...I understand if there are some haters. If I did it all over again I'd probably go with a Cuda kit. I will post all mods in the "unofficial" July COTM thread.

looks nice, but i think you should've went with a shark spoiler instead of that one. could use a little more of a drop too, but if it's a dd dont do it.

Wow. Love that tib. Only thing im not a fan of is the double vent ram air hood. At first I wasn't a huge fan of the spoiler but it grew on me in other pictures.
There goes my chance of winning the unofficial COTM lol. tongue.gif

I don't remember the steering wheel brand. Everyone hates this spoiler, but the curves go good with the car. I would actually like to have the ATH spoiler, but that is a little harder to come by. With this kit there is NO WAY to drop it lower. Not without hydrolics or airride. I already need to get a tighter suspension if I want to use the wheel spacers that look GREAT on the car. I would never use this hood with anything but the veilside kit. It is the only kit that flows well with the vents.
