Subaru BRZ Body Kits
A body kit is typically a four piece kit comprising of a bumper or front bumper lip, a rear apron or rear bumper replacement and right and left side skirts. Body kits also sometimes include or offer as an option additional parts such as wider fenders, front or rear bumper diffusers, rear spoilers or splitters. The traditional purpose of a body kit is to help direct oncoming air around, over or underneath the vehicle more efficiently than the stock set up. Many body kits include a front lip which actually pushes the front of the vehicle slightly downward at high speeds to give it more down force and cornering traction. Front lips also help to direct air outside of the wheel wells to reduce drag.
Body kits are also developed for street use as a means of giving the vehicle an enhanced styling. Often manufacturers such as Subaru will offer an in house body kit or ground effects kit as a dealer upgrade. Now there are several after market body kit manufacturers that offer styling packages for vehicles. Some of our premium brands include Seibon Carbon, Wings West, VIS Racing, 3D Carbon and more.
Subaru BRZ Wide Body Kits
The artist rendering above by Dangeruss at Deviantart shows a Subaru BRZ wide body kit. A wide body kit is designed to widen the stance of the vehicle's body by adding fender 'flares' or by removing and replacing the fenders and quarter panels with wider ones. Typically wide body kits are used for track, drift or street racing because they allow the vehicle to house wider wheels within the aerodynamic protection of the fenders or flares. Most wide body kits are designed with special wide bumpers and side skirts that connect to the fenders or flares.
