Default a new kit for the IS being made...

Well i dont have pics or drawings, but I'm just letting everyone know that veilside is making a kit for the IS, and a US reinforcment bar has been sent to japan so that the bumper will fit US cars without cutting the bar.

So much for my once every 10mos. post.

there would be no need to send a US crash bar to japan, for 2 reasons....why, the cars are built in japan, and secondly there is no difference between the US and other continent crashbars, the only difference with the US crash bar is that the US bar has a thicker band of polystyrene on it, whereas the euro and JDM crashbars have 2 thin blocks of polystyrene on them

then there is a need. the reason why ALL jdm kits doesn't fit the US is300 (you haev to take off the 5mph crush bar, which will void your insurance in some cases) is because the crush bar being too thick

oh, my point was it's defintely necessary to get the "dimensions" of the us spec crush bar to japan in order to get the kit designed well, nothing related to sending back a us spec one

Default test drive

I test drove the new IS sport design, It's got all the extras, 17" wheels, chrome difuser, badges on the front fender. I found an ad online where you can get a free subscription to media week and or billboard magazine. check out this ride

I personally have not seen any pictures of the kit in development, VeilSide doesn't usually release pictures of new parts in development, until the legal work for the designs have been completed. I did have a friend that just came back there, and what he told me is that this kit is a brand new design, that is different from all pervious veilside past designs. However it will be a wide body kit, that shows heritage and functionaility to the local Tskuba circuit. (Veilside is in Tskuba)

Just think of the other cars that have run on Tskuba before...HKS Altezza, RE Amimiya Rx7, JUN Impreza, HKS EVO, and many many more...
