Automative body kits are usually constructed of either fiberglass or polyurethane. Most car modification entusiasts prefer polyurethane because it is more resistant to damage, and does not crack in cold weather. In some cases, body kits may also be constructed of carbon fiber, which is a popular, lightweight material. This type of modification is not as highly regarded among speed enthusiasts, though, because it is very costly, and the difference in weight is minimal, versus changing other parts such as the hood or trunk. Factory fitted bodykits are now becoming more common, perhaps in response to the growth of the aftermarket tuning industry in the late nineties and onwards. Peugeot were perhaps the first to bring the factory bodykit back to the fore in 1997, with the introduction of their SP kit on the 306 model. The complete SP model also had other parts of the tuning scene included, including a Janspeed exhaust. Many manufacturers now work in-house with their own tuning division, such as General Motors and Irmscher , in creating the factory kit. Some famous aftermarket kit manufacturers include Irmscher , Lester , MS Design , Reiger , RGM , Steinmetz , Bomex and Veilside . |
