Zerosports expected to release 2006 Impreza WRX STi Body Kit at the Tokyo Auto Salon

Zerosports has yet to officially announce the release of a new body kit for the 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi (GDB-F Type), but Zerosports released this image of what its new kit would most likely look like when made available commercially. Ings+1 was the first company to offer a body kit for this Impreza body style since it merely adapted its previous generation body kit for the new body style. Zerosports, on the other hand, has been developing a kit to significantly increase downforce on the front end while allowing for a large front mount intercooler.

We asked about MSRP pricing on the Zerosports kit, but those details have yet to be released nor a date when this will be available for actual purchase. The HSPN.com staff in Japan expects Zerosports to release the new kit at the upcoming Tokyo Auto Salon on January 13th, 2006. Enthusiasts can also watch for the Tommykaira M20b exterior goodies expected to be available after the Auto Salon.

Some hardcore enthusiasts forwarded us this spy photo of the Zerosports car during final testing on a local track in Japan:

All Zero Sports kits have huge openings for FMIC. Maximum Airflow, baby. And also, all Zero Sports aerokit parts are designed and tested with the help of the wind tunnel. So, the crazy look is not just to be "combat ninja spiderman" style bumpers. They are 100% functional.

Here is my GDA-A with Zero Sports front end...

Widebody...?

I'm a little torn... I like the Idea, but I can't justify that kind of kit on my DD. Especially if it'll change me from D Stock to Street Modified at the Autocross Events...

Guess I'll just have to start the modifications...

Elegant Aggression?

When I first saw the pics of this kit, I thought it was very aggressive. I prefer the TommyKaira kit. But yesterday
I went to the LA Auto Show & saw a Brabus kit for the CLS...

I'm not sure how I feel about the Zerosports kit anymore.
