- Veilside Company Limited (officially stylized as VeilSide) is an aftermarket automotive company which used to sell suspension and engine tuning, and still sells 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. 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 a range of 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), 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003), The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), Fast & Furious (2009). VeilSide produces a bodykit called, "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, Toyota MRS, and the Nissan Skyline R34. The Fortune kit ranges from $4,500 USD for the MRS to $11,000 for the RX-7. 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.

- ヴェイルサイド(Veilside)は、茨城県つくば市にある自動車チューニングショップ。 名前の由来は代表である横幕宏尚の苗字を逆にし英訳したもの(Veil=幕、Side=横)。主にその外装フルエアロキットのメーカーとして知られている。 車両改造全般を得意とし、国内スポーツカーの他、近年はランボルギーニやベントレーなどの海外高級スポーツカーのチューニングにも手を広げている。代表的な例としてスカイラインGT-Rに搭載されるRB26DETTをチューニングして1300馬力を記録した実績がある。なお関東のドラッグレースのメッカ、龍ヶ崎飛行場が近隣にあり、ドラッグレースでも記録を残している。また、特徴的な自社ブランドのフルエアロキットを装着した車両が幾つかプラモデルとしてキット化されている。 そして、映画ワイルドスピードシリーズに同社のエアロパーツを装着した車両が多数用いられ、海外でも知名度が高まった。なお以前は東京オートサロンでは毎年出展し何らかの賞を受賞していたものの、近年は参加をしていない。以前「チューニングは外注で行っている」などの噂に対しては、自社ファクトリーを近隣に持ち、塗装からエンジンパーツ組み立てまでをそこで作業していると横幕は回答している。
