FAQ´s
Q: What are Bodykits?
A: Bodykits are a collection of exterior modifications designed to enhance the look and performance of a car. Typically, these kits include components such as front and rear bumpers, side skirts, spoilers, and sometimes even wing mirrors. For automobile enthusiasts and car owners alike, bodykits serve not only an aesthetic purpose but also enable vehicles to perform at their optimal level. These modifications are frequently installed to create a unique and tailored appearance for a car, setting it apart from standard models on the market.
BodyKit types:
Over the past few decades, four primary types of bodykits have emerged as popular choices for car customization:
1. Lip Kits
Lip kits offer a beginner-friendly option for car enthusiasts. Their relative affordability makes them an attractive starting point. The installation process is straightforward, often requiring nothing more than bolting them onto your vehicle. Despite their simplicity, lip kits can dramatically elevate a car's aesthetics by giving it a sportier, more aggressive look.
2. Bumper Kits
Upgrading to bumper kits can result in significant visual enhancement for your vehicle. By replacing factory bumpers with more stylized options, you can inject character and depth into an otherwise mundane design. These kits often feature unique shapes and materials that further differentiate your car from the competition.
3. Wide-body Kits
Wide-body kits are for those looking to make a bolder statement. These kits extend a car's fenders and use wider bumpers, effectively broadening the vehicle's profile. A staple among seasoned car enthusiasts, wide-body kits also serve as an excellent opportunity to replace damaged bumpers, transforming an average-looking car into a standout.
4. Full Body Kits
Full body kits represent the most comprehensive investment, as they involve a complete redesign of a car's exterior from front to back. While this option can be costly, experienced enthusiasts often recommend breaking the project into phases, allowing for staggered costs and better budgeting.
In addition to these standard kits, some automotive shops offer custom bodykits tailored to the specific tastes and preferences of the car owner, enabling a truly unique expression of personality.
Kit material types:
The choice of materials for bodykits significantly influences both cost and overall quality. Each type of material comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages, impacting everything from durability to appearance:
1. Fiberglass body kit
Fiberglass is a widely used material due to its availability and lower price point. It withstands various environmental conditions, making it suitable for outdoor exposure. However, if not produced correctly, fiberglass can be prone to buckling under compression.
2. Carbon fiber kit
Carbon fiber represents a more premium option, known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. While the carbon fiber strands themselves resist moisture, the binding polymers that hold them together may be susceptible. This variance can affect durability and cost but is sought after for high-performance applications.
Q: Why do I need a body kit?
A: The primary motivation for most car owners to invest in a body kit is the desire to enhance their vehicle's appearance. A body kit can make a car look wider, lower, or longer, ultimately creating a custom aesthetic. This transformation can lead to a more stylish, sporty, or aggressive stance compared to other vehicles of the same make and model.
Q: Do Bodykits affect performance?
A: While body kits primarily focus on aesthetics and aerodynamics, they do not inherently improve a vehicle's performance. If performance enhancement is a goal, consider adding components like spoilers or diffusers, which can enhance traction and handling. Ultimately, the choice between aesthetics and performance is subjective, and body kits provide a great avenue for personal expression.
Q: What are the pros and cons between "dry carbon" and "wet carbon"?
The distinction between dry and wet carbon involves different manufacturing processes. Here’s a breakdown of their respective pros and cons:
A: DRY Carbon: Ideal for racing, this method maximizes strength and minimizes weight. The weave and quality are generally more consistent; however, dry carbon can be 3 to 4 times more expensive than wet carbon.
A: WET Carbon: Wet carbon products are created through hand-laying or vacuum infusion. They may exhibit minor defects like uneven weaves and bubbles but are often more visually appealing and cost-effective making them a preferred choice among consumers.
Q: What do I do if I have a problem with my order once I receive it?
A: If you encounter issues with your order, such as damages or incorrect parts, promptly contact us with documentation of the problem. For damaged items, it’s imperative to file a claim with the carrier (FedEx, UPS, or USPS) within 48 hours of delivery. Once the claim is evaluated, we can proceed with sending replacement parts.
Q: Are the parts insured ?
A: Yes, all parts dispatched are fully insured. We recommend inspecting the products thoroughly before signing for delivery. If any damage is detected, do not sign and contact us immediately.
Q: How long will it take to receive my order after payment ?
A: Typically, our production process takes between 1 to 2 weeks to complete. However, please note that larger dry carbon fiber kits may require up to 3 weeks for production if they are not available in stock. In contrast, our PP body kits are always kept in stock, and we can dispatch them within approximately 3 days of receiving your order.
Once the production is complete, shipping time varies depending on the destination. For express or air shipping to airport locations, you can expect delivery to take around one week. If you are in Europe, we usually ship by train, which allows for delivery directly to your door. This process takes roughly 4 to 6 weeks. However, if you are located in countries where Russian is the primary language, the shipping time is generally shorter, averaging about 3 weeks.
When shipping to the USA and Canada, we typically use sea freight services, which can take approximately 6 to 8 weeks for delivery to your door.
If we encounter any challenges in reproducing the parts to our high standards, it may take an additional 2 weeks for us to ensure that everything meets our quality requirements. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to provide you with the best products possible.
Q: What is injection PP mean ?
A: Injection PP refers to parts produced using polypropylene plastic material through injection molding. These parts utilize the same molds and materials as original bumpers, ensuring high-quality construction and a proper fit often referred to as "plug and play."
Q: Can I order parts that are painted ?
A: We do not offer painted options due to the high risk of scratches during shipping. We suggest having the parts painted locally after receipt.
Q: How can I confirm compatibility with my vehicle ?
A: If you're uncertain about whether a product will fit your car, please reach out to us directly and send pictures of your vehicle (front, back, and overall view) for confirmation.
Q: What should I do if l receive a product which l can not fit on my car ?
A: If the product does not fit your vehicle, please contact us immediately. We are committed to assisting with installation challenges.
Q:What are FRP, GLOSSY CF, MATTE CF, FORGED CF, RED CF, YELLOW CF DRY CF & SEMI-CF mean ?
A:
- FRP: Fiber Reinforced Polymer (Fiberglass)
- GLOSSY CF: Wet glossy carbon fiber (made via vacuum)
- MATTE CF: Wet carbon fiber without a glossy finish
- FORGED CF: A unique marble-like design associated with forged carbon fiber
- RED CF: Carbon fiber dyed red
- YELLOW CF: Carbon fiber dyed yellow
- DRY CF: Pre-impregnated carbon fiber manufactured under high pressure (autoclave)
- SEMI-CF: A blend of carbon fiber and fiberglass that is unpainted.
Q: Do you have real products pictures, not just the stock photos (white) ?
A: Yes, we do have actual product images. While they may not be uploaded online, feel free to contact us for more authentic pictures.
Q: What are the TÜV Regulations in different countries ?
A: TÜV registration and professional installation can be accommodated across various locations. However, buyers should familiarize themselves with the legal requirements in their respective countries, as individual inspections might be mandated. Ensuring your vehicle adheres to local regulations related to safety and approval is the buyer's responsibility.
Legal regulations may vary by region, and it is important that you take the necessary steps to ensure that your vehicle complies with the relevant regulations.
