For the record, that is a copy of a FEED bumper, not Veilside.

The lower lip on that bumper is from a Veilside FD bumper though.

I see that now. Thats a weird hybrid bumper. I was just looking at the top half when i said it was feed. I knew the only kit veilside had that uses the 99 lights was the new d1 kit. No company has had time to make a cheap copy of the d1 yet.

That is how mb autosports made the mold. They cut the lip off a veilside bumper and molded it where the lip on the feed bmper would be.

It's definately unique. I'd be worried that the part in the middle where it's higher would admit too much air and generate lift at high speed though.

And take that wing off and drive over it with a bulldozer.
