Default Veilside Body Kits

I currently have the V3 hood and was about to place an order within the next week for V1 CF front lip and the V3 side and rear ground effects. I heard lots of issues about the front lip cracking... Is that only with the lip being painted anyone know if that applies to the CF lip?

Also anyone else done the V3 ground effects in particular the sides and rear? was wondering if they might begin to crack as well.

And what do you guys think? V1 front and V3 sides and rear with nismo wing and V3 hood. I have the wing and hood already installed.

The front lip, rear valence and wing have been problem for me.

My V-1 CF front lip cracked. Its designed to fit too tight, and somethings got to give. The rear also has cracked as because of its fitment.

The veilside side under wings have been fine. The only priblem is they do chip bad from driving condtions. I had a protective film put on mine after they were repainted.

My wing is also warped and doenst fit on the hatch. Veiside will replace it but Im out install and thiers no guarantee that the new one will fit.

Veilside blames it on the installation but its a flaw in design. I have never heard of any other 350z bodykit having problems just from installation.

I had mine fixed after first install and it still craked under normal driving conditions. My installer is one of the best in the industry so they cant put blame on them.

i believe most of the veilside kits are fiberglass and will have a greater risk of cracking. if you are worried about cracking, you should consider a body kit made of urethane as it is more durable but also heavier.

Is your rear the V1 rear or the rear to the V3 style from Veilside?
