Default Veilside in Progress

I have posted about this in the past. I'm finally having it done. The Veilside kit is being put on, but I refused to do it the Rice way, and do it the right way. I have had my grandfather (11 show car winners under the belt) working on my car. I did not want lines. He has moulded the rear spoiler to the trunk, he also has shaved, and moulded the flares to look like part of the bumper. If you can see, it is now one big piece from the front fender, thru the rocker panel, and into the quarter panel.

As for the paint, I am sticking with GPW as a base, and I am having a pearl coat overlay with the Toyota Spectra Blue Mica. I am having the overlay, be heavy, so the car will always be 2 colors.

Special thanks to Robbase for hosting pics.

More pics to come.........http://my.starstream.net/robertlo/images

For the workmanship, even though I'm not a fan of the Veilside kit, that is a lot of body work. I'm ecspecially interested in seeing the wing molded trunk after paint, I think it will have a nice look to it.

It was actually a knock off Veilside kit. I figured why pay for the real thing, when I was going to "butcher", sorry, I mean, Fix their styling problems in my opinion. I have never liked the way the Veilside kit looked by itself, I saw it as a template.

Well,.....I like the spoiler. But I hate the veilside kit. Maybe if you cut off all the "fin" things out of the front bumper and also the ones on the sides of the front bumper, it may make it look ok.
