Modifying your world with a Lexus body kit

One of the greatest things about living in our current age is our ability to modify and customize almost everything that we purchase. This is true whether or not we are buying a pair of shoes, or a vehicle, and the Lexus body kit is a perfect example.

A Lexus body kit is a collection of vehicle modifications made from a selection of parts designed to be mounted to the outside of your car. It will give you a desired stylish appearance that is to your own personal specifications, and can include items such as new front and back end side guards, side skirts and spoilers, new roof scoops, front and back bumpers, as well as a brand new paint job.


This past decade has seen an increase in interest regarding vehicle modification and the Lexus body kit is certainly no exception. As interest has grown, so has industry involvement and you are now seeing manufacturers who are offering alternatives to the standard factory option to appeal to their customers.
Even though there are basic components that are included in the traditional body kit that all complement each other, there are some owners who will seek out select parts, choosing to create their own personal body kit.

When selecting a Lexus body kit they will typically come crafted from one of three types of materials: fiberglass, polyurethane, or carbon fiber.

The Fiberglass style, a type that is often used due to its inexpensive cost, even though it is not designed to withstand any kind of impact and is often just used for show. The polyurethane however is both relatively inexpensive and capable of being able to withstand impact. It should be noted that this is a heavier material and as such is not useable in all projects.

One the higher end of the scale is carbon fiber, which is often not used on basic street legal cars because of its high expense, however it is often utilized in show and racing.

The community support and interest in body kits is believed to have been sparked by the aftermarket tuning industry expanding in the late 1990s, and after this occurred body kit enthusiasts increased. The interest that owners have had in Lexus body kits is on going and as it grows there will continue to be exciting advancements.
