Understanding the Basics of Car Body Kits

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of costs, let's make sure we're on the same page about what a car body kit is. Essentially, a body kit is a collection of exterior modifications designed to enhance a car's appearance. It typically includes front and rear bumpers, side skirts, fender flares, and spoiler. 

These kits can give your car a sportier, more aggressive look, while also adding to your overall aerodynamics, resulting in extra BHP, handling and performance, and they are available in various styles and materials. We have some great examples right here on our site, with the owner's stories like this one, 2020 Widebody Toyota GR Supra 3.0 Premium

Different Types of Body Kits

When it comes to body kits, you have choices. The type of body kit you choose can significantly impact the overall cost. Here are the main categories:

1. Car Lip Kits

   These are the most affordable options. Lip kits focus on enhancing the front and rear bumpers, providing a subtle sporty touch. Have a look at this car HERE for a great example.

2. Full Car Body Kits

   As the name suggests, these kits include a complete set of modifications. They are often more expensive, but they offer a comprehensive transformation of your car's appearance. Here is a great example of a full car body kit with some extras 1994 TCPMagic x RocketBunny Mazda RX7 FD3S - Christian Cruz

3. Car Widebody Kits

   If you want your car to have a wider and more aggressive stance, widebody kits are the way to go. They come with extended fenders and a unique, bold look.

Factors Affecting Car Body Kit Costs

Now, let's talk about the most crucial aspect: how much you'll need to invest in a body kit. The cost can vary significantly based on several factors:

1. Car Make and Model

The type of car you drive plays a big role in determining the cost. Popular cars often have more affordable body kits due to higher demand. For exotic or rare models, you might need to dig deeper into your pockets. Here is an example of a Porsche with a gorgeous kit that really suits the car 1991 RWB Porsche 964: Behind the Wheel of an RWB Porsche

2. Car Body Kit Material

Body kits are made from various materials, with fibreglass and polyurethane being the most common. Fibreglass kits are generally cheaper, but polyurethane kits tend to be more durable. Costs can also vary depending on the quality of materials used. Here is a car made from Carbon Fibre, 1 of 1 Carbon Fiber Pandem v1.5 2021 MKV Supra - Hunter Ensley 

3. Brand and Style

Just like with any product, different brands offer varying quality and design options. High-end brands may come with a higher price tag, but they often provide superior fit and finish. Read our article on What is a widebody kit. In which we list some of the most popular Car Body Kits on the market.

4. Professional Installation

While some experienced DIY enthusiasts might opt for self-installation, it's usually recommended to have a professional handle the installation of a car body kit. Labor costs can be a significant part of the overall expense, and should be factored into your overall costs.

5. Painting and Finishing

Don't forget to budget for painting and finishing your body kit to match your car's colour. This can add to the overall cost, but it's essential for a seamless look.

The Price Range

To give you a ballpark estimate, here's an approximate price range for body kits:

Lip Kits: $100 - $700

Full Body Kits: $500 - $2,000

Widebody Kits: $1,500 - $5,000 and up

Keep in mind that these are general price ranges, and actual costs can vary based on the factors mentioned earlier. To get an accurate quote, it's a good idea to contact a local body shop or check with reputable online retailers.
