Very nice all around. I would change the color of the roll bar and the rear wing, but that's about it.

Honestly? I don't like the front end, wing, and sideskirts. They are individually ugly, put them all together and it's even uglier. I don't know what the dudes at Abflug were on when they designed that. Scoot hood does not go with that front end at all. Don't really like the red roll cage either. Love the rims though!

Oh, and under the hood looks nice. Can't go wrong with a T78!

You may have well slapped on a veilside kit, painted silver flames up the hood and been in the f+f. The kit is ugly and im not a fan of the scoot.

But nice engine never the less.

nice but over done. CE28N's looking good (I'm jealous) but the body kit is way to much for that car, especially the wing

Needs more body kit and a larger wing. Oh, it also needs some lights to plug the holes in the front bumper.

Personally i like the kit, dont get me wrong im not saying that it keeps the original lines or not, but not everyone should keep the original lines...otherwise we'd all be driving the EXACT same car in different colors. The only things that i don't much like is the spoiler, that thing looks like it can produce a couple of tons of downforce (while the car is parked ) and the color of the roll cage...i like the guages though, in the door...that looks coo

They're Volk GT-N, not CE28N

I do have to give the guy credit for originality though. I don't think I've seen an FD with the Abflug kit in the states. It's aggressive and kinda out there...but do what you like...as long as you like the looks that's all that matters.

Thumbs up

I like it, very fresh look I am getting board of tuner RX7's with C-West gear!!!! but the wing is well Out there and that is very far away from my tastes. As for the rest nice the kit matchs well to the scoot hood and until now I thought that imposible(I Hate the scoot hood) but it looks GOOD on this car??? Nice car!!!

Pretty different. As far as looks go I like it.

That car was at SS5 very briefly. Left early I guess.

I like the hood and rims. I've heard of Team SVP, did 360 video do a coverage on them? Apparently they're the fastest st. racing team in LA?

At first, I thought that was a front bumper from an MR2. Not bad at all. Too bad it's fiberglass.

It it were my car, I would get rid of the side/rear skirts and side vents: looked like aftermarket Veilside. That rear spoiler is too big.

Your car. You live with it.

*I hate the entire body kit.

*I don't like GT-Ns, I think they're the ugliest wheel Volk makes.

*That is the most intrusive roll-cage I've seen and the color's got to go.

*I think the gauge in the door panel is ridiculous.

As far as mechanicals go, the car seems very well done with no skimping on parts or unnecessary crap. Just rip the body kit off, slap some Fikse's on, paint the roll-cage black, and she'll rock.

hmm... you wouldn't happen to know where I could get a set of Fikse's at a good price would you...

Seriously Fritz, if I wasn't concentrating on some other parts of the car right now, I would buy your Fikse's in a heartbeat.

I like the color. But don't you think the body kit and the hood is too much for the car?
Well, don't take it personaly, but I don't like and part of the body kit. Especially the hood, and the rear wing.
However, the side skirt looks okay

The Abflug body kit is a bit extreme for the street but I did like it in person at SS5. The things I don't like are: Red roll cage, battery tie down, rear speaker. I do like the engine and everyone is entitled to be creatve with his/her style since taste/looks is a personal preference and everyone has their own.
