Body Kit construction

Automotive body kits are usually constructed of either fiberglass or polyurethane or with the latest material: PU Fibre (Which is softer and more resistant to knocks than fibreglass). Most car modification enthusiasts 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.
