Body Kits and Ground Effects
What is a body kit or ground effects kit?
A body kit (also called ground effects kit) create additional downforce and reduce air pressure underneath your vehicle to reduce drag, improving performance and increasing traction. Additionally, the overall appearance of your vehicle is improved, often making it look lower and more aggressive.
Can body kits improve aerodynamic performance?
Yes. Ground effects kits or body kits help reduce drag, improving performance and fuel economy. Most body kits today are developed from race car designs that create more downward force and reduce air pressure underneath the vehicle.
What is included in a body kit?
A body kit or ground effects package is a set of aftermarket body parts, typically composed of a front bumper or lower lip valance, a rear bumper or lower lip valance, and a set of side skirts. Some kits also include spoilers, scoops and/or fenders. Each manufacturer offers different packages for various vehicles.
Are body kits worth it?
Yes, if you value performance, safety, and style. Adding a body kit improves the aerodynamic flow of air over and under your vehicle. This translates to improved fuel mileage. Some body kits can also make your vehicle safer and more stable when driving at faster speeds. For example, adding a front bumper and rear spoiler will help keep the front and rear of the vehicle down on the ground.
Can you install a body kit yourself?
Some body kits and ground effects are easy to install yourself. Other kits may require the expertise of a body shop professional.
