A body kit is one of the premium upgrades that can take your vehicle to the next level, visually and performance-wise. It’s for the car owner with taste who’s serious about their style and has specific preferences.
You want to make your car your own, but you want to do it right. Below is what you need to know.
Consider Material Type
Research the specific material type before you select the body kit to use. They come in several types, such as fiberglass, polyurethane and carbon. If you’re doing the work on your own, polyurethane is the easiest material to manipulate. Fiberglass is more popular, and carbon is the most high-end, although not the typical choice.
Consider the Manufacturer
One of the most critical points in your research process is learning about the warranty coverage that comes with each kit. Can you trust the longevity of the manufacturer? Look at reviews and see what other car owners have to say before you invest in a company’s products.
Which Components of Your Car Would You Like to Change?
Not all body kits are created equal. This is true in terms of quality, but it’s also true in terms of parts distribution. The components in one body kit may not be identical to another manufacturer’s, so it’s important to establish from the beginning what you’d like to change and make sure the kit you purchase has the parts you want.
What’s Your Goal?
Some kits optimize aerodynamics or handling as well as looks. You’re definitely in it for the aesthetics, but why else do you want to update your car’s exterior? Clearly define your goal and that will help you narrow down the potential options.
Double-Check Your Insurance Policy
If you’re making a modification to your vehicle according to the terms of your policy, it could affect your rate, or your insurance company may terminate coverage altogether. To avoid any ugly situation regarding essential insurance coverage, make sure you double-check that your mods are in line with your policy allowances before you spend the money.
