Here is some information to help you understand the difference between each type of body kit.

Fiberglass Body kits: Probably 90% of body kits are made of fiberglass. These days,  some manufacturers are finding great ways to improve the quality of fiberglass body kits mainly by using high grade viscous vinylester resins. If you see a Duraflex or Vfiber body kit on our site then you know it's one of the high-quality fiberglass body kits.

Urethane body kits: Urethane is another word for rubber, and it's highly sought when it comes to body kits because it's so resistant to impact. The downside is that relative to fiberglass body kits, they cost more, they weigh more, and paint doesn't adhere to them as well.

ABS Plastic body kits: ABS plastic, so this is a high-grade material. the upside is excellent fit and finish, while the downside is that it costs more than, say, fiberglass body kits.

Carbon Fiber body kits: Probably the most rare, carbon fiber body kits are lightweight and strong, and incorporate the new-age carbon look into your vehicle's appearance. Also, you don't have to paint carbon fiber body kits, since they already have the desired carbon appearance right out of the box. The downside is that they are more expensive, and also if you as much as scrape the curb it scuffs the gelcoat finish.

Aerodynamic car parts are just as important as any other modification one would put on their car for a performance gain. Just like any other performance modification, aerodynamic components require fine tuning to enable the driver to get the most out of it. Let’s take a look at some common vehicle layouts to see the benefit of each type of aero component.

Front Aerodynamic Components
Lip spoilers, diffusers, splitters, and canards are all components that can be utilized to product downforce in front of the vehicle. These components are especially useful to the following vehicles.

Front-Engine/Front-Wheel Drive (FF):
Power output from FF cars obviously comes from the front of the vehicle. At high speeds, vehicles tend to rise. This lifting effect reduces traction. To prevent the loss of traction, FF cars can utilize components such as front splitters and front canards to give more downforce to the front of the vehicle allowing more power delivery to the ground from the engine.

Mid-Engine/Rear-Wheel Drive (MR):
Since the center of gravity of MR cars is near the center of the car, MR cars tend to be lighter in the front of the vehicle. This gives MR cars a tendency to over steer or snap (quickly kicking the back out) easily. To balance this effect, the use of front aerodynamic components can provide more traction in the front of the car.

Rear Aerodynamic Components
Rear wings, spoilers and diffusers are all components that can be utilized to product downforce in rear of the vehicle. These components are especially useful to the following vehicles.

Front-Engine/Front-Wheel Drive (FF):
Because FF vehicles are lighter in the rear, it is important to add more downforce in the rear to achieve more balance. Rear wings and spoilers can do both of these effects.

Front-Engine/Rear-Wheel Drive (FR):
The engine output from FR cars comes from the rear wheels. To help delivery the output from the two rear wheels, aerodynamic components such as rear wings can really help create downforce giving the rear wheels traction.
