Veilside Version 1 under side wings...question
Anyone bought or installed them? Are they direct bolt ons? Does the front diffuser come in fiber glass with carbon fiber inserts? Very nice......

Veilside 1 kit
That redline pictured is actually mine. The whole Veilside kit is direct bolt on.
The front lip you can order as a full carbon fiber piece or just fiberglass.
I odered full cabon fiber lip and painted it on the sides. I did this to make the lip look a bit more finished.

Very nice car.
Do I need to buy the Lower center panel carbon fiber finisher from Courtesy Parts to complete the look or does the Veilside lip actually has carbon fiber that covers the lower center bumper? Hope you know what I am talking about.
Again, awesome ride and thanks for letting me post your picture.

btw, I believe the entire lip is one piece with the piece covering the lower center panel.

BTW, Craze Z, I was admiring your veilside kit for quite a while at the show....

The thing you will have to do is have the sides of the veilside carbonfiber lip painted to match your car.
*SandMan- The lip bolts on the the factory nuts on the bottom of your underside splash guard. Its flush and does not create drag.
*shaneotool- Its very easy to put on the front lip and the sides but the rear was a bit difficult.
The wing is not easy. I would recomend a good body shop for the wing install. It has to be put bolted on then adhesed with 3mm tape (just like the stock wing is installed by Nissan).
*Well for the people who pming me about where I got my kit. I odered it though www.Mbautosport.com. Ask for Min and he will give you a good price on the lip or the whole kit.
It is not listed on his website yet. MB Autosport is very close to Veilside Usa so their shop got it very quickly. I picked up my veilside kit from MBautosport the next day it got to veilside from Japan.

My bodyshop used a special rubber comb to take the stock wing off, and then used a soft buffer made to take the 3mm tape surfaces. They also used a special prep adheser to make sure the 3mm tape bonded correctly.

Love the look -
My kit lands tomorrow in the UK
No front lip, or rear skirt though just side splitters & rear wing - we have too many speed bumps in the UK
Help me out here, can you post some more detail pics of the rear wing - FYI I've gone full FRP rather than CF.
Can the wing be fully painted off of the car & then installed? I haven't seen a piccie from overhead & it is hard to tell whether it is purely bolt-on or whether it is filled at all on to the hatch.
Thanks for your help - as many Photos & as much info as possible - please

Crase Z,
Your car is beautiful man - one of my favorites. Love the kit, rims - subtle but strong. And what do you use to wax / polish that baby man – she is looking sweet ?

Craze....many props.
I've been between the nismo CF knockoff and the vS-1 like yours.
You just convinced me!!
It looks AMAZING.
Now, for a dumb question - are the pieces painter before or after?
Meaning...does the car need to be repainted for everything to match well??

Yes paint the veiside pieces off the car. Body shops color march the body pieces to the color code on your car. You will not have to repaint the whole car.

Hey Crase Z, one last question...
Do the veilside under wing come primered and ready to paint? I'd hate to order a wavy piece of fiber glass and have to primer it with 3 to 4 coats before painting. That's will cost me more than the kit then.....
Thanks.

The fiberglass and carbonfiber from veilside is really good. Their pieces are molded in a vacumm process. They are no waves in or air bubbles in their fiberglass. It not like the cheap knock off kits that are riddled with these problems.
Veiside spent millions on their tooling molding machines. Thata why their kita are go for such a high price.
My bodyshop www.bodypros.com told me that they just primed and painted my Veilside kit and wing. No sanding or anything. There told me they are always impressed with real veiside products.
