Default mixing body kits... your opinion?

how do you think a veilside front bumper would look on an S that has C-West side skirts and rear aero kit?

I really dislike the C-West front bumper but I love the Veilside front. Likewise I really like the rest of the C-West kit but dislike the rest of the Veilside kit.

think it would look alright or think it would clash? or ?

if anyone actually has this combo and can post some pics that would really help too.

now that i lokk at it, i think a lot of folks might like it.

however, i think a lot of people will going to disprove on your idea at the same time-
seems like the lines look like they do not flow at all.
veilside front is all about curvy, "out- of the- earth" look while c- west sides are straight lines and relatively sharp edges-

well, hey, as long as YOU like it, right?

let's see who can help us with photoshop skill... and good luck!

yeah thats the thing that worries me, the curvy lines of the veilside vs the straight lines of the c-west. think that since my car is black that this difference would be a little less noticeable?

Since you have black car, as you have said the lines of the body kit may not look apparent compare to other colors.

I think you should go ahead, Since C-west kit is pretty in-expensive, you can take off and sell it if you happen to find out it doesn't work.

Actually, LCreation does look like it would fit with the Veilside pretty good. I don't know about that back tho, it's kinda big. Might make my car look like it has a J Lo ass.

First of all you need to look for another front bumper. Sorry just my opinion. When mixing kits you have to think about several things. How it will match the body lines of the car and how it will match from a side view(ie front bumper lower than the rest of the kit). I tried looking into the Mugen front bumper with the Cwest sides and rear but the Mugen front is made for a S2000 with no body kit(mainly sideskirts). So therefore if I put the Mugen front on the Cwest sides would actually hang lower than the front thus making it look way off. Also some kits are round and some are straight. Do some shopping around before you make your final decision.
