The complete body kit includes at least the following: front and rear bumpers, spoilers, side skirts and side guards. The bumper is a product with impact buffering effect, which plays a protective role in the event of a collision. The spoiler is mainly used to reduce air resistance. Side skirts refer to the panels above the front and rear wheels of the vehicle, but their main function is aesthetics.
Materials that make up the kit
Most kits are constructed using glass fiber, carbon fiber or polyurethane. Compared with other available materials, glass fiber is cheaper and lighter in weight. However, glass fiber is very fragile and easy to break. Carbon fiber is also very light weight and more durable than glass fiber, so it is more expensive. Polyurethane is flexible and durable, and it is a popular new material to replace the above-mentioned materials.
