We had a big Z cruise here in St.Louis
well drivin down I-270. I was fallowing my buddies 300zx

Well he was ahead by like 3 or 4 miles and he is like catch up there is no cops

so doing 120+ in the fast lane....

i hear something and then everything is normal...
i was like ok nothing wrong

Got of I-270 and i started hearing sounds...
so pulled into a parking lot to find the Veilside V1 Lip to be stuck under my car draggin along.

No Damage to Car ...... Thank God.

just wanted to share ... my story ... still upset .. time to spend money on another one.

 

lol at dragging your lip under the car. How did you have it installed? arent there screws holding it anywhere?

 

yeah the screws were holding it all 4 were still there

but i get the all that air going 120+ made it flip ...

i really dont know man.

All i know is somehow it got under my car.

 

Maybe its fake or it was not installed properly, I dont care how fast you go its not supposed to fall off. Reminds of that ricer video where the kdis 4 foot wing fell off at 70 mph!
Peace!

 

To the OP: was it carbon fiber, fiberglass, or urethane?

NightRida: link for that video? sounds like its hilarious.

 

It was Urethane
probably not installed properly.

well i donno. i will be gettin another one soon i guess.
might go with something different and more aggressive.

 

knowing that area pretty well, sounds like you might have hit something. of course you probably never saw it going that fast anyway

 

I'd say it wasnt installed properly and got some air in it. 120mph shouldnt cause it to rip off, unless like said above you hit something.

 

i guess you guys are right
I have a lot of rockchips on the front bumper anyways.

I wanna get a new bumper or lip.
but i donno what will match with the sides.

 

Thats weird, I hit 140+ with mine on a few times, seriously the 4 bolts that hold it and a double sided peice of tape for the middle is all I had on and it was fine...probably loose bolts, or maybe you ran over a curb or something....who knows.

 

hehe a curb doing 120+ on the Fast Lane on I-270 ....


any suggest on what to get next or just get another Veilside V1 Front Lip.

 

120+ with mine ziptied on....no worries

 

Did your V1 have double sided tape on the middle piece? As I didn't put double sided tape on mine and it would slide off the bumper easily.

 

it did have a double sided tape but not all the way accross it had 2 little pieces of like 6'' each

oh well.

Next Time Taking It To get it installed by a shop.

 

lots double side tape helps...

 

I also have a V1 lip - after some +140 MPH speeds, the middle of the lip had sagged down a bit (I used 4 screws on the sides, and double sided tape in the middle)...the double sided tape in the middle wasn't holding on too well b/c the lip wasn't flush. I re-did it w/ 2 layers of double sided tape and the middle section is much more firm now.

 

or fill in some silicon...

 

Where did you buy it from?
VeilSide offers the warranty...

 

Remember, you have Urethane, and with Urethane there are disadvantages that are highlighted in high speeds. Urethane is too flexible to be used as a racing material and will deform in high velocity situations. I would suggest a carbon fiber or FRP lip if you want to do high speeds.
