Car heads: Are body kits worth it?

[Luke Cage]

Rice boys unit

Fyi to those who aren't aware. Ricer is term cacs used to describe the heavily modded japanese cars or other east asian vehicles.
It is now often used by cacs to describe any kind of cosmetic modification that doesn't actually increase the performance of the vehicle.
technically it is a derogatory word. i'll leave the outrage to asian people but i like black folks to at least know meaning behind shyt they say in case they are unaware. when white people say ricer they are

Just make sure its practical. I see too many bodykits where the owner can barely drive the car cuz they're scared of scrapping the bumper and side skirts.

That's more often than not because they lower it too much. The M4 I drove before I bought mine was lowered with a lip. I felt up under it and it had massive gouges taken out of it. On top of that, I scraped that bytch getting back into the lot after the test drive. I said hell no this ain't for me.

What do you mean "worth it"?

You mean for resale value? absolutley not

You mean cuz you like it and want to do it? Do you and dont worry about what everyone else thinks


Also always consider ground clearance unless you plan to track and nothing else

That charger wide body kit though..

Title.

Dude I work with has a 370Z with the LibertyWalk bodykit

This in white pretty much.

Down the road (2-3 years, stacking up rn) was prolly gonna pick up a nice little 2 door (A Lexus RC 350/RCF or a 350Z), and was wondering outside of aesthetics, if a bodykit was worth it or not.

That shyt dont like much different then the srt

Waste money brehs

 

[ultraflexed]

I had a kitted out 98 maxima back in the day. Different engine dropped in.

I got a few compliments, but no one really cares. If you like it, do it. Other than that, there's no value in that shyt. AND if you live in the city, I guarantee that you will fukk the car up with a year.

Some people like tastefully done body kits..

A car pushing over 700hp will create so much wind turbulence that it'll tear off that spaceship looking body kit in the OP..

 

[Hoodoo Child]

Unless you willing to put hundreds of man hours on bodywork, I doubt it's gonna look good. Plus, most body kits are ill fitting

Reminds me of my old goofy ass Mexican coworkers who lowered and put a body kit on his Infiniti G35.

Chicago Potholes and speed bumps tore that shyt up in under a year
