A quick search of an unnamed internet auction house will reveal this monstrosity up for sale. At one point, I believe this was a Supra!

That looks like the Veilside kit... which is not by any means rice. But, considering that's a super small photo with no link... it's all assumptions based off the headlights.

more of a show car though, only BPU++.

Veilside by no means is rice. Although I hate this kit and always have but props to the guy who could afford it and put it on so cleanly.

Also BPU++ is around 500whp which is no slouch and actully very streetable which I like more then those 1000whp+ dyno queens.

I'm not really a big fan of veilside kits anymore, but I actually like this, and correct me if I am wrong, but doesnt veilside test their kits for aerodynamic improvement as well?
