Okay, this is a authentic Veilside kit with 1st gen bB bumpers. Even with these parts there is still a lot of hacking that needs to be done to the kit. It still isn't up to my expectations but I figured I'd post the pics and get others opinions as well as answer any questions on the matter. This project has taken about a year so please be kind on comments this is my daily driver so there are small cracks already at edges.

 

not feeling the kit, mainly the rear bumper. but I know it's a huge feat getting a bB kit to fit the xB, and I congratulate you for doing so.

 

I know the back is kinda bland, but I'm holding out for the fabulous dual inferno exhaust in hopes that it'll make it look better (as well as sound good)

 

looks good to me!

 

I like authentic kits. props for makin it work

 

kudos man....

 

shaved hatch... noice.

Bodyshop?
Custom?

 

Looks awesome, and I kinda like how you shave the hatch but kept the wiper. Good work

 

Where did you get the 1st gen. jdm front and rear bumpers?

 

yea i like the front bumper as well as the sides,but that rear bumper to me has to go.i looks like that didnt wanna finish it, and just slapped some lille upside down wing on it.

 

I purchased the 1st gen bumpers from Carson Toyota, took a while to get, but was ecstatic when I got them, mad props to Steve there. And while many people also agree that the rear bumper doesn't seem to mesh with the rest of the kit, the rear diffuser is part of the kit (looked at it with it off, and it was way to much empty space, might see how it looks once I have my dual exhaust). And thanks to everyone else for the compliments.

 

should look sweet once you get that exhaust cant wait to see

 

looks nice. good job on the kit.

 

I'd have to say bigger wheels and a little more drop will make it look "right". I checked the Veilside website and that is waht caught my eye.

 

The only problem with going to bigger wheels is i'm on 18's now with 35 profile, and on the rear I barely have any room (maybe an inch) to get my fingers and a MF cloth in there to clean. Going bigger would sacrifice comfortability IMO. As is if I go to jack up or lift the rear, because of the kit wrapping to the contours of the tires, I have to remove the bumper (otherwise the tires would lower and break the rear lip outwards). And with the vehicle as low as it is now, and it being my daily driver, a bigger drop would seriously hamper my driving style cause there are to many bumps and potholes on the road here in the countryside. I have to slow down even more now around turns to avoid flex on the kit as well. Maybe in the future when all other mods that I find priority are done, I'll shell out the cash for the adjustable tein coilovers. Right now though I'm on TRD/Waydo Sportiva Struts/Springs and the kit can barely take any dips (luckily I haven't scrapped yet ). I'll post pics later for those to see about the kit wrapping the wheel.

 

i have the knock off of this kit on mine with 20's and i love the look of it i have the borla duals so it fills out much nicer with exhaust looks sweet

 

Quick question, if I get this kit do I need the 1st gen bumper? Or can I make it fit?

 

looks pretty good

 

Looks good. But you need new rims. Something with a lip and low offsets will really make a difference in appearance of your ride.

 

looks good bro.... it will look sick w/the right exhaust. BIG PROPS to authentic parts.. i think this is the first time i've seen someone with a real vs kit... not sure tho..
