I was recently in Japan and unexpectedly got to visit Zero Sports' shop in Gifu. They gave me a whole bunch of stuff and took me for a ride in their 400 HP Impreza. It was sooo great. Anyway, enough gloating. I think this is the best looking body kit for the new WRX

Sorry but when I look at it all I can think of is those dumbass looking Combat bodykits that I used to see on Eclipse's at car shows. If their going to go to all that trouble they might as well give it a headlight kit.

I'm not crazy about the body kit but I like the wing.

Sorry but it does look a little Civic like to me. Nothing wrong with that, but puts the WRX uniqueness off the scale. The wing is the best though!! That might even fit the RS which might be awesome! any ideas if they are going to sell it separately??

Sorry guys, maybe I just grew about around the Honda/DSM/Nissan crowd, but that kit looks awesome. I really like the combat styling on it, I don't think you could have gotten away with that on the RS. Very clean. I actually like the Zero Sports RS bumper, except for the slats in it. Looks good!

edit: found a pic of the Zero Wing kit for the RS:

Actually, I also hate how the bumper comes down below the exhaust, what's up with that?

Ugh, not really to my taste. Seen too many of those on Civics and stuff. Boring.

You need to tell Turbo aka. DLC where to go to see those guys. He is going to Japan soon.

Like the wing everything else is overkill. I'll take the 400hp though.

I like the wing but I think it costs like over a thousand bucks probably because it's made out of fiberglass. I like the wing but I like the front bumper section more. Makes our WRX look more agressive. The thing is will that front bumper conversion fit our US spec WRX's? Not sure it will due to the US cars having bigger bumpers inside. If it does fit I'm thinking Zerosports front bumper stock painted sideskirts and maybe C west rear bumper section. The zerosports one is too crazy startrek for me.

I'd like to rally my car out rather than put a bunch of aero things all over it. There's no substitute for a rally car.

Sorry guys, but I think that the CUSCO Rex has that one beat by a mile (in looks anyways). I like the power number of 400 ponies. What are they running to produce those numbers. That is my goal with my Rex, to hit 400. I know that it is going to take thousands and thousands though.

Looks too much like the "combat" kits. The headlights are still there too.

They have that wing here in the US?

I think the Zerosports kit is by far one of the best looking on the new age impreza.

Well, we have been fed some incorrect information after reviewing my latest issue of carboy, I have discovered that the Zero Sports Impreza WRX has only 350 HP. The JUN WRX has 370. The numbers were incorrect that were previously posted, but I still love that car and I commend them for building up the HP and making our sweet little Sube's so fast.

Zero Sports wing is 68000 yen (~560 american, + around 300 for paint matching)

good quality stuff. i also like wing, but the rest i dont. (prefer jun front and cwest sides and rear... call me crazy, but i want to go wingless)

i'm talkin gto some people to see about that zero sports stuff though, keep you guys posted

I'm a fan of subtlety, so it's the rare body kit that does it for me, I'm afraid.

I'll be looking into the Subaru bumper kit they showed at the Europe auto shows for my WRX wagon, but that's about it.

The JUN WRX is fat. It does not look so ricey. I am going to try to get a scan of it and post it as soon as I can. The Aero parts are much more digestable, when compared to the zero sports aero kit. I like the JUN car.

Sactown, the car I got to ride in wasn't the one in the first picture I posted, it was a previous generation impreza. It was owned by one of the guys who worked there. They had over 10 cars there and they said many of their cars were in tokyo at the time for an auto show. The car in this picture was quoted as having 560 HP

and here is the Jun Impreza, I like the front end on it alot too.
