Application of a body kit to a car is a sound investment; it improves the car?s appearance and adds a personal touch to the machine. It can also register improvement in performance.

Application of a body kit to a car is a sound investment; it improves the car’s appearance and adds a personal touch to the machine. It can also register improvement in performance.

A wide variety of car body kit manufacturers exist currently, along with countless distribution channels. Some OEMs have set shop for this niche category of products, cashing in on this latest trend. Both individual and full body kits are available to suit a customer’s need and budget. The list includes a rear wing (spoiler) or fender, front bumper, rear bumper and side skirt.

A glance into auto history reveals the apparent inspiration for this modern trend — auto racing, where innovative designs were implemented in order to maximize aerodynamic efficiencies by reduction of weight and modification of car geometry. This was instrumental in improving mileage. These benefits of racing technology have made great products available to the non-racing civilization at inexpensive prices.

Bumpers are usually the first parts to be modified by most car owners and choosing the right bumper model can be instrumental in improving a car’s performance. Bumpers with low-lying designs for aerodynamic lift are common. Side skirts are also used to compliment bumper modifications.

Side skirts provide an aggressive tone to the car without lowering suspension. These modifications give a facelift to the car without actually making any interfering changes to the design. Nowadays, customized bumper manufacturers can be found who exclusively deal with this particular category.

Spoilers are aerodynamically engineered parts that streamline air flow and decrease fluid friction due to vehicular motion. This leads to reduction in drag and improvement in mileage. Spoilers placed on the front side of the vehicle are called air dams, reducing turbulence by diverting incoming air to the sides.

Front-hood designs containing perforation increase air flow around the engine. This helps maintain a cooler engine, which in turn means efficient fuel consumption. The front grill can also be modified along with the hood. These small modifications go a long way in making the engine run better.

With the car “modding” craze increasing, sales of specialty body kits should continue unabated. The list of styling products is endless and one can choose from a lean-and-mean to overtly aggressive look.

The styling can consist of low-ground clearance with a slender appearance, to extremely outlandish, depending on the taste of the owner. With the kind of public interest being generated, today’s aftermarket for specialty kits shall become a thriving business in the years to come.
