A great way to drastically rework your ride into something new is to add a car body kit. While a bit more involved to add to your ride, body kits can truly elevate your look to something new.

Clermont Toyota car body kit tips.

Getting the Right Look Requires a Little Know How


Adding a car body kit to your ride can change things up in huge ways. In some cases it's a permanent change. This means you need to be very deliberate and careful with your choice of accessories. To help you along, here are a few tips:


What Look are You Going for?


Slapping random body components on your ride will have it looking like a tricked out version of Frankenstein's monster in no time. Before you dive in, stop to consider what you want your ride to look like when all is said and done. You can hone in on a theme, motif, or a goal you want the body kit to help you achieve. Extreme Clermont car body kit designs are often meant for eye-catching and conversation potential. Performance based looks are to enhance your speed/handling while looking different.


Think About the Potential Resale Value


If you plan on adding a body kit to your ride, it's likely you'll be stuck with it till it stops running. But, what if you want to re-sell and trade up at some point? Well, you might have a hard time getting your money back. The market for highly modified rides is small. More often than not these cars are sold privately to appeal to a specific driver out there. Our advice? Adding a body kit will kill your chances of an easy resale. So, plan on keeping it for a while.


What Do You Want the Paint to do?


When adding Clermont car body kit parts to your ride you have a few options to consider. Do you paint the parts to match your current paint? Do you leave them unpainted from the factory? Or do you paint them an accent color? Whichever way you choose can drastically change the vibe you're going for so consider this one before making your choice.


What Material Would You Like the Kit to be Made of?


Typically, Clermont car body kits come in 2 material choices, polyurethane and carbon fiber. Thinking back to the purpose and aesthetic you're looking for, carbon fiber is a much lighter material that can enhance performance with a slick look. Poly-based kits are typically used for looks alone. Material can make all the difference. So, choose carefully.
