Body Kits & Modifications

Body kits and modifications are popular in panel shops for individuals looking to enhance the appearance and performance of their vehicles.

Body Kits: These are collections of exterior modifications designed to alter the appearance of a vehicle. They typically include front and rear bumpers, side skirts, spoilers, and sometimes hood scoops or vents. Body kits come in various styles, ranging from subtle to aggressive, and can be made from materials like fiberglass, polyurethane, or carbon fiber.

Suspension Modifications: Lowering kits or adjustable coilovers can improve the vehicle’s handling and appearance by lowering the ride height. Lowering the center of gravity can enhance cornering performance but may sacrifice ride comfort and ground clearance.

Performance Upgrades: Some modifications focus on improving the engine’s performance, such as cold air intakes, exhaust systems, turbochargers, or engine tuning. These modifications can increase horsepower, torque, and overall driving dynamics.

Interior Modifications: While not directly related to bodywork, many panel shops also offer interior customization services. This can include upholstery upgrades, custom dashboard and trim pieces, aftermarket steering wheels, and audio system installations.

Custom Paint and Vinyl Wraps: Panel shops often provide custom paint jobs or vinyl wrapping services for customers who want a unique look for their vehicles. This can involve custom color choices, graphics, or even full vehicle wraps to completely change the appearance of the car.

Wheel and Tire Upgrades: Upgrading wheels and tires can not only enhance the appearance of the vehicle but also improve performance and handling. Wide wheels, low-profile tires, and lightweight alloy rims are popular choices for enthusiasts.

Body Repairs and Restorations: In addition to modifications, panel shops also offer services for repairing body damage, rust removal, and restoring classic vehicles to their original condition.

Body kits are collections of aftermarket parts designed to modify the appearance of a vehicle's exterior. These kits typically include components like bumpers, side skirts, spoilers, and fenders.

Body kits come in various styles, ranging from subtle enhancements to aggressive designs. Common types include OEM-style kits, which mimic the original manufacturer's aesthetics, and custom kits, which offer unique and personalized looks.

Body kits are typically constructed from materials such as fiberglass, polyurethane, carbon fiber, or ABS plastic. Each material has its own advantages in terms of durability, weight, and cost.
