Body Kit can be installed on cars of different brands and models, and is one of the most popular ways to give your car a more stylish and sporty look. And its components are designed to complement each other and combine as a single design. The main purpose of such tuning is to give the car a personalized look. However, body kits are designed with aerodynamic characteristics and can improve the stability of the car at high speeds, as well as protect it from light mechanical damage.

The history of body kits

The origins of their appearance go back to the beginning of the first half of the 20th century. A good example is a typical Australian tuning, where drivers installed a special protective structure on the front part of the bumper to protect the radiator from damage when colliding with animals. Often kangaroos, which have a large muscle mass, jumped out on the road and crashed into the hood, therefore the name of the dodger – kangurin. Then such a body kit was used to add brutality to the car. Later, it was banned because in case of an accident, it causes additional damage to the pedestrians.
