Back in high school I used to know a girl who had two older brothers who were big car guys. This was in ‘99 so the import scene was still very much in its infancy compared to what it is today. I guess you can say those were the most fun of times though because we didn’t know what was out there yet. Anyways, the brothers had some pretty nice cars, even the the sister had an Integra that was nice. I often saw it the parking lot at school. Before she could drive though, I would occasionally see her brothers come by to pick her up. One of them was named Lawrence and he had a Z32 with a crazy body kit on it—I’d never seen anything like it. Even the car itself had this wild orange/copper iridescent hue to it. The body kit was from a Japanese company named “VeilSide” and he was from a car club known as the 935draggers. These guys had some of the craziest cars I’d ever seen back then, like mind-blowing. It didn’t matter how they made their money then but to be able to acquire a VeilSide kit back when the word “JDM” had barely been coined was a feat in itself. Like how did they even get in contact with a Japanese company and import a whole body kit back in the late 90s? It must have been a fortune…
