Body kit to make dat Proton (?) go faster:


Somehow, I doubt there is actually anything other than the stock 4-pot in this car:


And,


It's an Epic fail, without a doubt, in the looks department, but look further:


Possible good power(?) but a stupid stupid setup.

doubt it does good power with no intercooler, most likely stock internals, might be able to run 2 or 3 psi...

Only a burnout car...FMIC would have little effect when the car is not moving fast.

Was about to say the same think Nikked.

With that Proton abortion thing, I love the DUB sticker on the rear glass when the car is running like 14" rims

Just noticed the Proton and Subaru are both from WA *oh the shame* lol

Spotted this... thing.. in East Gosford.

I think the car has potential to not look like crap but it's a little over cooked with the headlight covers/silver foglights.

I was going to say the same, lol
I don't mind the look of it, that picture does it no justice.

He's been to a few events I've been to, I just can't place the car to the face.

Yep, I know the owner... Hulk EF on here...


Matt's a good bloke (having met him a few times).. The headlight covers make a common appearance on his BF XR6T, but the other stuff on the dash/across the bonnet/guards is just in the christmas spirit....


If you think that's a fail, then quite a fair few other cars on here are too... oh, the picture does it no justice whatsoever...

The only thing I don't like about it is the headlight covers.

The rest is alright.
