I don't hate it either, just remove all of the decals.

I liked Veilside stuff ever since I saw the Veilside RX-7 in Fast and the Furious

The car looks nice but it's a Frankenstien of other car's styling cues.

The best body kits enhance the car's look, not change it altogether.

Veilside definitely has unique, stylistic flair in their body kits, a few even look good, but most of them border on the side of rice, overcooked soggy rice.

Now if this car started life as a Honda Civic and turned out like that, then . But it 'was' an NSX, so for this one, I give it a .

Not really a fan of veilside. Good looking body work nonetheless!!!


The NSX looks fine the way it is, kind of like a wingless supra. Add some nice wheels a nice supsenion setup and call it a day!!!

No reason in making an underpowered car look faster

I like the car, of course it would be better without the stickers, but on a sponsored car, nothing you can do about that

werd, gotta put on the stickers for a sponsored car otherwise you dont get all the free goodies that come with being sponsored.

i had a friend that absolutely refused to put on stickers, but he said something about hte sponsors were gonna take back all his goodies so he decided to slap them on.

Ok-looking for a Veilside kit. Most of them are butt fugly to me.

Not feeling in general the S7 look, don't like the headlights, the tails, the wing, and the color. Sorry, I would feel less of a man when driving around in an orange car, NSX or not.

I do however, like the side skirts and the curves of the widebody (?) kit.

you have to please your sponsors. I love how all these people hate on cars with stickers on that are show cars. they obviously dont understand how sponsorships work. these cars have to have the decals on for photoshoot and shows atleast. I know a lot of people who scrape there stickers for dailry driving and only put them on at shows and photo shoots. its a small price to pay for either free or heavily discounted parts.

owner is a real cool dood and has put a lot of time and money into the car. Not my cup of tea but I respect the time put into it. The car gets tons of looks and respect wherever its at tho. The car has the go to match the show. Comptech supercharged w/an aem ems system. I've known the owner for years.
