Talking "VEILSIDE" called and they want their kit back!

Hey FAM....

After thinking long and hard and talking to "TTurbopimp", I thought I would give my offering to the "Gold club" that is the (4P2) club. I told "DGOT20's" that I would be there to back him up because of course we are getting slammed by the Blue, Silver, and Black models! ........so without further adieu here she is: (enjoy)

Good work
the grill is the Veilside, that is the only one that fit other than the OEM, unless you do some modification to it....

That's hot. Love it. How functional is the hood. Although I want one, I have not seen it up close. How is if from the "back" side? Is there an opening? If not, is it insulated like the stock hood? If there is an opening. What do you think the chances are of the engine getting dirty faster?

I've always liked the kit but it is too aggressive for me right now. I was going to wait until AFTER getting some form of FI so I can back up the look.

Congrats on the beauty.

Thanks NEO, as you can see there is an opening, and the chances of the engine getting dirty faster is slim to none. The cut actually sits in front of the engine itself, so washing and wondering if water is going on your engine will not happen....I was worried about it at first, then washed it and saw that the water was dripping in front of the engine...hope this helps.

Thanks for the kind words Blue....actually talked to Rom about a DSR roof spoiler, so that is in the works...still trying to catch up to you, DGOT20's, and some other modded Lex's on this board, you know work in progress..

Looking very good.

I echo other sentiments about the roof spoiler but it already looks awesome!

Nice work.

R,

very nice, i like it!!! the front is a little to open for me, but i know (and im sure u know) EXACTLY how to fill it hehe... the roof spoiler will definitely be a classy and SWEET finishing touch to the exterior. i REALLY like what you have done
