Default Pics of my new bumper w/ Veilside V1 lips....CHECK EM OUT!!!

What's up guys....Just put my new bumper on today, and it looks pimpalicous...It is just a factory bumper, but it has a Veilside V1 lip, a B-Cool Billet grill, and smoked out reflectors. I took these pictures right after the install and they didn't turn out the greatest...the sun was my enemy in these pics...but you get to see what I'm working with....the folks that are going to the Z-Fest will get to see it in person...

I painted the engine cover and battery/brake fluid covers but didn't get a chance to take pics. I painted the engine cover all black. On the other covers I painted them black and the lettering silver. The bad thing is they didn't come out that great. I did the mistake of using armor-all on these pieces a few weeks ago. My stepdad said that was a no no...He tried using alcohol and other paint products to take the armor-all off, but no real luck. So after painting them, they came out looking a little "rough" which is what my stepdad said would happen....Oh well...they look ok, kinda look rhino lined...it's different but I will change them out eventually....pics of this soon....Enjoy the pics posted....Thanks....

Thanks for the comment....I would of bought those side skirts from you if I had the extra cash....I'm either gonna go with the Veilside side skirt or the Nismo side skirt. They both look really good with this front lip...so I have some thinking to do....

nice roflo! V1 or JDM nismo skirts look great with that lip. personally i like uniformity so i personally would go V1 all the way around. the entire V1 kit is very classy and sexy.

JDM Nismo side would be ideal, but replicas are crap and authentic is $1k a set . I went with the USDM Nismo sides and it still looks great (MUCH cheaper). I also have the v1 rear skirt. I like the v1 sides, but the Nismo sides are cleaner and not more stuck on parts and less seams to have potential gaps and to have to clean around.

The plastic covers came out rough because you need to spray them with primer then sand them smooth. They have texture to them so they wont lay out good. All you need is some high build primer and some 400 grit then prob some higer stuff to smooth it out. GL

Is that fiberglass or urethane on the front end? Remember to always go Urethaane if you can, cause if you hit a curb it'll flex back and not crack.

Looks great.
