You should still be able to get Veilside stuff from distributors like Z1 or Bulletproof...

I ordered a Varis underplanel but it took about 2 months to build and ship from Japan to me...

The company itself is still manufacturing in Japan:

Veilside US is out of business...? Hmm.

I just ordered my VSD-1 reclinable seats from them (through Intense) a few weeks back...got them on time and with great communication from Brian and Intense.

I had heard they were only running on a 2 man crew over there and things were looking alittle dim...it took a little while for them to cash the check from Intense (they only take checks) but not that bad.

Didnt know they (US office) were now out of business.....crazy man, looks like i got my seats just in time.

The problem was that the V1 lip in particular was on back order and was supposed to be shipped from Japan. I don't think that happened...

Yeah this was about a week and a half ago or so that Brian told me. That's Veilside USA though (in fact I'm pretty sure VS Japan is up and running but having problems from what I was told). If they have items in stock they will sell them off which could be what happened with your seats, not sure about that.

Damn sad to hear about Veilside USA.
I need to be more careful with my authentic V1 lip now, considering the rarity of a replacement.

We can blame replicas, but truth is nothing great has come from Veilside for the 350z since 2002/ 2003. Most of those kits were sort of unpopular, sans the Version 1 and industry cars with the widebody.

Didn't they fail to launch the 370z kit as well?

You also need to factor in the economy and other companies that recently got into the "VIP style" market. (something Veilside was sorta distinguished for awhile ago)

Yes, they happened to have a pair of the seats I ordered in stock at the US warehouse...thats why i got them so quick...or it now looks like why i was able to get them at all.

Glad i did, though, awesome seats and now, apparently, harder to get lol.

Wow.. No wonder they haven' pm'd me back. They owe me a rock emblem for my spoiler.

I thought they were moving. Is that why they had a sale with insane prices.

To bad. Love their stuff and Brian was a good guy to deal with.

The spoiler is never going up for sale.

Same with me, i never got my 2 metal emblems for my seats... and i guess never will

Either way, our plights are nothing, i feel for the guys that lost their deposits on the lip.

I contacted RHDjapan.com (they're in Japan) in reference to Veilside side mirrors and he believes they're going bankrupt in Japan too.
