Top Secret has the highest quality, and some of the highest prices

I have seen both TS and VS parts mentioned, and what I saw
was of perfect quality. On the other hand, the only car I have
seen these authentic parts installed on looked awful. Perhaps
finding a body/paint tech that has experience and documentation
demonstrating prior installs is paramount. The parts are likely easier
to source than an accomplished installer. Personally, I have met no
one in FL capable of this work... yet.

I have sold both and:

The V3 kit from Veilside is not too bad quality, but some of their other parts, like their hoods, are crap.

Topsecret FTW! In my opinion.

Sorry to hear that.. i think you should see my car then... I am local.

I have the Veilside... is not the wide body kit ( i don't really like any wide body kits)

To answer the original question; They are both good quality items. My VeilSide had no fitting isuess at all..

You know what is really interesting... a lot of people don't even have or have ever handled the product of either company and they swear that one is better than the other...

Back your answers up...

They are both good stuff. it is a matter of taste.

I forgot to mention.. I got my stuff from MVP

I have to agree, for most of the people who have neither kit, you hate. Maybe one looks better to someone than another does to someone else. I love my veilside kit. The fact that no one can afford either kit in most cases is a plus cause most people wont pay for a kit that will break or chip and just go for performance. I will admit thought that the vs version 1 wing apperantely did have a fitement problem but it was nothign the body shop couldn't do. they just heated up the wing a little and formed it on the car. Otherwise the kit is flawless. Look at my pic of my car and you tell me what you think, be honest.

That was my car before the accident. I had VS orginal body parts installed the quality was ok to good. Did not have a hard time with fitment.

I don't think that a company that just took ANOTHER company's name and added the number 2 at the end is a GOOD idea...
