Veilside Body Kit
OK, so I have stayed away from the temptation of purchasing a body-kit on e-bay for a couple hundred bucks. and found a great deal on the front bumper made by Veilside, Executive Sport Model. Is it an incorrect assumption that the front bumper is the most critical component for fitment. Anyone think I can still get this to look good by purchasing the side skirts and possibly the rear bumper/lip from another less expensive mfg. Also from the search's I have done on Veilside is it a fair assumption that the front bumper will be a direct, no mod, bolt on replacement.

If it is the Original front bumper from Veilside, then fitment should be right on. Those other knock off front ends usually have fitment issues....then again, I could be wrong...

Concerning coupling the VeilSide front bumper with other body pieces, I'm sure it can be done but usually VS pieces are quite unique and may be difficult to match up. I would take a long hard look at everything available to you, and visualize what you think would look best along with your new front bumper piece. You could end up with something totally unique, that looks absolutely bad ***.

Good advice Devin, time to start experimenting after I get the front bumper, still might stick with the Veilside but that stuff is expensive unless your getting a deal on it.

If it's an authentic Veilside kit...fitment should be great, I'm currently running Veilside sideskirts and the 97+ front bumber and it matches somewhat okay, the sides are lower than the 97+ front.
I'm still debating on what rears to run. I was thinking about the 97+ rears.
Good Luck, let me know if you're interested in purchasing my sides, I might go with the 97+ sides.

If I go with the Veilside I certainly would be interested in the side skirts. (I'm almost certain of going this way) I am checking into one kit that just came up on e-bay.. "Rushkits" first time I have seen this company on e-bay. I did e-mail and asked about fitment. They say "direct bolt on" as long as your car has not been hit. So far this is the first company that was direct about the fitment issue, most somehow avoid answering the question.
