Yes, it's a knock off of the VS K1 kit. They've been advertising in ebay for a while now...not sure of the quality of their kits though.

That's not an option....

I had already ordered fog lights for the explosion kit but that's before knowing the VS knock offs is available. lolz

if you're close to them in SoCal you'd want to try to arrange a test fit of their kit before purchasing it. =) there are plenty of horror stories about knock-offs not fitting properly.
good luck, jd

Like GS Wanted wrote above, it is a knock off of the Veilside K1 kit (incluing the front. ).

Agreed! You need to contact Ebay to have your pic removed.. that's just wrong...

dannieboiz: Before you make your purchase of that knock off Veilside Kit, remember that they just stole a fellow members car pic to use for their own. A company like that should not be trusted since they cannot supply their own pic of the bodykit!

the auction may be a scam as well because how are you going to sell a body kit and not have a demo vehicle
