Default Veilside hood

Doesnt veilside have an aftermarket custom hood for the Gs.If so I may take an advantage of the promo.Do you have to have the veilside grill or make any modifications for it to fit.Also has anyone seen it on and what do you think.

...not bad if you like a fiberglass hood. Too bad there are no vents...

VeilSide hood is very nice.

Esprit made holes on the VeilSide hood. Very nice! Maybe have a bodyshop do it.

Like BadBtsz4u, I'm not a fan on the Veilside kit for the newer GS's (JZD-16x) but Erick's car does look good! Must be the wheels!

Hey Erick, how's the chrome doing on the wheels? PM if you'd like...
