Veilside

Veilside

Veilside Company Limited is an aftermarket automotive company which sells suspension, engine tuning, and interior parts, as well as body parts for aerodynamic and aesthetic enhancement of the vehicle.

Based in Japan near the Tsukuba Circuit race course, the company first started trading in 1990. It initially focused on performance tuning, and at the 1991 Tokyo Auto Salon VeilSide took the Grand Prize in the Tuned Car category, an unprecedented success for a debut entry.

The name is derived from the owner's name, Yokomaku Hiranao. "Yoko" means "side" and "maku" means "veil", which are compounded to form "VeilSide".

Hirano was influenced by the 1960s Batmobile and designed along those lines. In 1994, the Supra Combat design was released and took the Grand prize at the Tokyo Auto Salon in the Complete Car category.

In July 1995 VeilSide received Ministry of Transportation authorization for all of the Combat's aero parts. Following this acceptance VeilSide began to produce a full range of products.

The company made its own wheels available under the VeilSide Andrew Racing Wheels name, and many of their factory cars from the late nineties featured these wheels. As of January, 2006 VeilSide's website lists all three designs—Andrew Evolution V (18 inch and 19 inch), Andrew Golt Dish (18 inch), and Andrew Dish (18 inch)—as discontinued.

Their aerodynamic parts catalogue was originally based on Japanese models such as the Toyota Supra and Subaru Impreza, although they have since extended their portfolio to include American and European models.

VeilSide manufactures aerodynamic wing mirrors and GT-style wing spoilers and a line of clothing.

Their products have been featured in movies such as "The Fast and the Furious (2001 film), 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003), (2006)".

VeilSide produces a bodykit, "fortune", which replaces all body panels excepting the roof. It is currently available for the Mazda RX-7 FD3S, Toyota Supra Mark IV, Acura NSX and Toyota MRS. The Fortune kit ranges from $4500 USD for the MRS to $11000 for the RX7.

Despite being famous for its body kits, the company also provide an engine tuning service and sometime use their cars to compete in Time Attack, drag racing and drifting events such as D1 Grand Prix.
