ATH Kit Experiences? (Ordering, Fitting, Prices, etc.)

So first off I'd like to just say I've done several searches and found very little on this, so I figured it warranted making a thread.

Anyways, that being said, I'm really interested in the "X-treme" front bumper and side skirts from ATH - Hinsberger

http://www.ath-hinsberger.de/tuning_...be119.36200749

and I was wondering what experiences any of you have had with this kit. How did you order it and who did you order it through? How much was it? Did everything fit well? How much was labor and paint? Simple questions like this.

If anyone could recommend a reliable vendor with shipping info it'd be appreciated.

Finally, I don't want this to turn into a love/hate discussion about the ATH kit. I personally love the look, and to be honest that's what I think is most important when I'm considering the kit.

Just realized I posted the german link. Here's the link in English:

http://www.ath-hinsberger.de/tuning_...9/tpl/-/lang/1

Still says they don't deliver to the US at the moment but I know that Onderground Design does:

Has anyone had any experience with them?

Onderground is French Canadian.. Looks like you might have to smuggle it across the border.

I love the ATH kit! BHR has a line on importing it to the USA. I must delve a little further into it. Because I want this nose!!!

Sorry, forgive my nub-ishness ahead of time, but why does Onderground have specific instructions for US customers if they don't deliver to the US?

"For USA CUSTOMERS please contact us by email to get the shipping cost to your own state."

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding your post, but at the moment I'm fortunate enough that the shipping cost isn't my primary concern; I just want to get the kit here.

Yeah I emailed onderground a few weeks ago. The cost of getting the front bumper and sideskirts to my front door is $2995 (includes the price of the pieces and the outrageously far shipping + customs).

My question is if anyone has had any experience with the fitting and/or quality of ATH. I'm more than willing to shell out the 3 g's for them, but I'm just trying to do research enough to make the purchase worthwhile.

Appreciate the advice though

You might try contacting Nightracer13. He has a friend that has the kit. At least he has pictures of a blue with the nose and Veilside side skirts.
Nightracer13 is in Germany.

Experiences with Hinsberger

Hi everybody,

I am really astonished to see pictures of my car in the US forum.
All I can say is that they are perfect done! They fit like the ginue parts from mazda!
Except the carbon fiber hood! But this isn't produced by Hinsberger himself.
Attached some links to pictures of my car:
