QUESTIONS
BODYKITS |
|
What exactly is a body kit? Why
buy a body kit?
A body kit is essentially a collection
of parts that, when installed on your car, modify its
appearance. Most body kits modify the look of the front
and rear bumpers and of the rocker panels on a car. Many
body kits consist of custom bumpers that go over your
factory bumpers, while others replace your factory
bumpers. Almost all body kits come with sideskirts that
are installed on top of your factory rocker panels. Body
kits often create the look of a lowered vehicle and can
give your car an aggressive look, a super-clean flowing
look, or a race look, to name a few types of styles. Out
of all available modifications, body kits probably make
the biggest impact on the appearance of a car. Installing
a body kit on your car will completely change your cars
look, and will certainly turn peoples heads as you drive
down the street!

|
Are body kits and ground
effects the same thing?
Yes. Ground effects, body kits, spoiler
kits, bumper kits and aerodynamics are all terms that mean
the exact same thing.
-------------------
|
|
What all do body kits come
with?
Full kits generally include the front
bumper, the side skirts, and the rear bumper. Look at the
body kit description to see exactly what is included. Some
kits come with fender flares, hoods, or other styling
accessories.

|
Do you put a body kit on over
your factory bumpers, or do you replace your factory
bumpers with a body kit? Some body kits come with bumpers that
replace your entire factory bumpers while others are meant
to go over your factory bumpers. It all depends on the
brand and style of the body kit.

What's the difference between
fiberglass and poly-urethane body kits? The difference between fiberglass and
poly-urethane body kits is that they are made from
different composite materials. Both types of materials
have positive qualities. Urethane is a rubber-type
material that is very flexible and will hold up well in
the case of an accident. Urethane is therefore popular for
its durability. Fiberglass body kits in general are less
flexible than urethane body kits (although this definitely
depends on the manufacturer), but are more resistant to
extreme weather conditions. Additionally, paint adheres
very well to fiberglass, so there likely will not be paint
problems with a fiberglass. Finally, fiberglass kits are
relatively inexpensive. Both composites are used widely
throughout the world for body kit manufacturing, and each
has proven to be very popular.

How do you install a body kit?
This depends entirely on the brand and
style of body kit your purchase. For some you replace
factory bumpers, for others you attach to them. Some body
kits come with pre-drilled holes, others do not. Some body
kits come with hardware, others require use of your
factory hardware. Contact us with questions about
installation for a specific body kit.
