Just idle and took a shot of my car outside my office before I left. Lol.

Yes, I know my Veilside hood fits like a square in a circle hole.

 

don't know if you realized, but your hood fits like a square in a circle hole

 

^^
[jamacian voice] YAAAH MANNN!

 

like the car man,

what kind of headlight tints are those?

 

looks nice and clean

edit (except for the hood fitment)

 

before i clicked, i was thinking "how or why is he going to take a picture of his cars idle.."



looks good though man, close up the body gap and you will be set

 

car is looking nice man. can you post more pics of the hood's fitment? from this pic it looks almost like every other z with an aftermarket hood.

 

Darn it, I was hopin yu wouldn't notice. Oh well.


Thanks!
Trust me, the hood fits LIKE $HIT!!! You don't need to see better pics. (I will take some another time - it's night here now).

The back right side point doesn't line up with the fender. The front is lean, PLUS has this HUGE gap. Take a look at a stock bonnet or even a very good quality bonnet and you'll see that there should be the same gap on the front of the bonnet as there is between body panels.

No tint, sprayed body colour by MR.ZIPPS

 

ya mon... i just burnt a fat one ya know! boy that hood be lookin like a square in a cirle hole... let me burn another fat one mon and maybe i wont notice.. POOOF

 

thats an authentic hood?!

 

Yup, authentic vielside crap!

The most painfull part is, it's the second one. The first one I had shipped was completely destroyed (box was bent in half, during shipment with some hardware stuff). So being that it was broken I couldnt kwo if it was a bad fitting hood. I ordered a Asuka Design hood after, because I heard bad reviews on vielside hoods, and the asuka looked great, but the guy 'apparently' made a mistake and reordered the Vielside.

Whatever, the milk has been spilled for months now, I can't cry anymore about it.

I just have to live with having to tell everybody that the hood IS closed. It's unreal how many people drive next to me and tell me the bonnet is open. The damn gas station people are always pressing down on it when Im not looking. I feel like putting a sticker on it - 'IT'S CLOSED!!!'

 

Borrowed this pic from USANA Z in his recent post of his C-WEST bonnet. Much better quality!!! (hope he doesnt mind).

 

car looks good... maybe you could get hood pins to push the front down more?

 

It's not an issue of the bonnet needing to be locked more (pushed down). The bonnet is just short of meeting the bumper. If it were to be pushed anyway, that would make it lower than the fenders on the sides.

I have spoken to people who say that the additional space between the bonnet and the bumper is actually intentional (albiet not spaced perfectly).
It's to allow additional air to cool engine.

 

sounds like somebody made a lame excuse (not you, the people you heard from)

 

That C-West hood fits like a stock piece. It actually looks like a stock hood where some cut the hood and put vented inserts in it.

 

Exactly. Which is what you would expect from a premier japanese body style company.

I thought Vielside was pretty reputable, it's not until I did more research did I find that unlike c-west and a few others, vielside tend not to 'refresh' their mold consistently, or regularly.

 

that really sucks
