Yeah you didn't want that Veilside lip anyways. They probably discontinued it cause they could never get it right. I had fitament issues with 2 of them. I ended up with the Carbon Creations Vader Lip which is slightly less money and I was actually able to get it to fit on the car:

It was bad. I spent multiple frustrated days trying to get 2 of them on. Whereas the Carbon Creations just took a little work to get on and I had to drill the mounting holes where they were pre drilled on the Veilside. I didn't see any difference in the quality between the two lips and the fit was better on the Carbon Creations. I got mine from 350ZForums.

Hello,

This is Darren at Intense Motorsports. We are an authorized VeilSide Dealer. Per Veilside USA, all of the issues with the VeilSide Version 1 Carbon Fiber Front Lips have been resolved. Veilside USA received a container from Japan last week with 6 of these front lips on it. They were all test fitted this week. It was determined that there are no more fittment issues with this new batch. The next container from Japan for VeilSide USA will be in October. There will be more available at that time.

VeilSide is a company of the highest honor and integrity. They have and will always stand by their product quality. If there is a fittment issue VeilSide USA:

1. Makes sure that there wasn't an installation error
2. Asks for pictures
3. Makes sure it's authentic VeilSide Product
4. Asks the customer to make adjustments

When all procedural steps have been taken, if it is determined that it is a defective part, a call is made to VeilSide Japan to get approval for the replacement of the part. The replacement part is then sent out from Veilside USA to the customer.

VeilSide also has a policy for the replacement of products that are damaged by the owner. If you buy an authentic VeilSide part, from an authorized VeilSide dealer (like us) and your car is involved in an accident, where the VeilSide part is damaged, VeilSide USA will provide you a replacement of that part for only 50% of MSRP. Authorized VeilSide dealers provide a warranty card to every customer that orders a VeilSide part. The customer fills out the card, sends it into VeilSide, and if the part is damaged during an accident, you're taken care of! In these terms, there is no other Aero company that stands by their products like VeilSide!

This post was created to inform forum members of VeilSide's policy when it comes to issues like this. Any further questions should be pointed towards VeilSide USA. Thank you.

This is all true. I followed those exact steps with my first Veilside lip and was promptly sent a second lip which fit worse than the first believe it or not. At that time I decided a refund was in order as I wasn't willing to attempt a third. I took pics of the install and pics of the broken first lip which Veilside requested. I have no issue with their customer service, just the fitament of the lip. I hope what you have stated is true and this new batch fits better.
