Default Veilside USA

Hey guys,

I ordered a V1 lip from Brian@Veilside a couple months ago (April) I haven't got an ETA's from them for a while now, I am wondering if anyone else is waiting for their parts as well? I've tried to PM him here, but he isn't receiving PM's anymore, the Veilside USA site is down, I've emailed them at their sales address, with no reply. Also just now left a vmail on a phone number that goes to another company...

Anyone know a good way to get a hold of Brian? They have my %20 deposit too.

Thanks!

In my experience it takes many months for veilside to receive parts that they do not have in stock. I don't know what's going on with Veilside but Brian is a really good guy. I ordered a lip from another dealer on here with horrific customer service and Brian helped me out. He gave me eta's and called me when my lip came in while the company I purchased it through did nothing. I doubt he would try to scam you

I read somewhere that the veilside lips may be on backorder until November. I forgot where I read that, but I'll try to find it.

+1 on Brian being a good guy. He helped me a lot when I was looking for the V1 lip in CF.

Pm'ing you some info right now that might be helpful OP.

VeilSide USA is out of business man. They shut down last week I think it was, that's why you can't get a hold of them through phone or email and Brian can't view or post on my350 after they stopped being vendors (idk why). I talked to him on AOL a week ago because I put down a deposit for a lip as well and I was curious if they were getting the final shipment in or not at all and he said not at all and they're trying to sort out refunds currently.

I guess this explains his post about not being a vendor here much longer. He did tell me V1 lips were expected around the middle of Sept but I couldn't wait that long.

They probably just closed down their US offices like they did prior in 2008.

The company itself is still manufacturing in Japan:

Ya but that will really hurt their sales since not many people from the US will be buying their products anymore. Shipping from Japan FTL!!!!

You'd have to want one really bad to order it from JP, then wait 6 months. What happens if it arrives damaged or something else is wrong - another 6 month wait?

Now I can't find anyone with Veilside side mirrors! It's bad enough it took FOREVER to get my Varis bumper scoop and Chargespeed front lip b/c it came from Japan.
