NEW ATH Body Kit **Installed**

Hey Guys, Here are some pics of my new body kit, This kit is by the German ATH-hinsberge. There website is Here .

I was looking for something different and found it right were im stationed!! so here are some pics. I still need to get the back plate for the rear bumper, as well as the rear rotor finisher, and im thinking of the MS Wing in the future. Please tell me what you think.

And yes I have removed the crappy strakes in favor of New ones

Cheers

Da Freehk

I find the rear bumper to be a little odd....almost looks like it is trying to give the illusion of 'covering' the existing bumper, especially at the bottom where the rear rotary accent normally goes.

the rest of the kit is OK.

it looks like the car needs to go on a diet.. or it's the offspring of an RX-8 and a Dodge stratus.. either way, I don't like it. To each their own I guess.

it's diff. so i'll give you props for that..i like the rear much better than the front... being a form over function guy....you probably increased your front drag plate area by a significant percentage....thus lowering your top speed.. but i'm sure you're going for looks.. it looks better on the black one i think..

btw..keep up the good work in germany..maybe i'll get stationed there sometime..wouldn't mind that at all..

I'd be a little worried about the rear melting/scorching around the exhaust tips. My tips can get extremely hot.

I like it... all of it... FINALLY someone has done something a little bit unusual! I especially find the back end interesting, using the existing but w/real screen on either side of the rotary accent, and full surrounds on the exhaust openings.

Not bad, not bad at all. Wonder what the parts are made out of?

Yep it's different.

What's the whole in the front grill for?

A lazar radar detector/jammer?

On the yellow, the car doesnt do the kit justice. Now, on the black, that looked sharp!!!! Very nice find... might want to consider painting your car

depends on the material, fibreglass is fine, plastic will probably melt/deform
