What Happened To Body Kits

i really miss bodykits, when i go to carshows these days most everything is the same, stretched tires, slammed cars with wheels that are way to big for them and a bunch of cars that are barely driveable.

RIP to my 2002 Honda civic with a wings west body kit. So much money spent on that car but it was worth every penny 😬

I have a 04 impala. Its clear coat is starting to peel, its body design is very hohum, but the engine they put in those things is immortal. I’ve been toying with the idea of playing around with her looks but I’m not a big car guy so i have no idea what’s out there. Anyone have any ideas?

body kit the lotus elise and gti in NFSMW

The thing about body kits is that most of them look good from far but most are far from good.

i love bodykits it's just that nowadays everything wanted to be a rocket bunny copy cat every manufacturer only produce bolt in bodykit with bolts all over the body in sucks i miss those seamless bodykit panels but they're dead

Legit widebodies were THE talk of 2023, like every person had or wanted a car with a bodykit, and the second 2024 hit they disappeared, I havent seen a slammed or bodykit car at a car show since 2023

you left out the 1989SEMA explosion/implosion of the MINI TRUCK GROUND EFFECTS !! in less than 2 years ,3 friends, RATICAL/MILD TO WILD and colorado customs , went from making millions and a giant SEMA spectical to sueing eachother out of business😂! all i did was design[@30]/ make the molds and run production. something was wrong with them, they ran more ADDS in minitrucking magazine than articles or pics and i think went to court over it! i came this way because i have a job on a ford 150 to do ground effects and they are garbage. so i googled what happened to car body kits and put out there if anyone want the techniques i use i'm sure you'll have happier customers , perhaps paid more !! i'm getting ready to retire and the least i can do is help the industry i love 🤣

haven't watched yet but ill say this before. Most people aren't going to be paying 30k+ to get a body kit and do it right. Its difficult to do you need some serious time. A whole slew of tools and a lot of cash. All to then be the biggest cop and thief magnet on the road. This coming from a 13 STI widebody hatch owner

The body kits and kits that make your car look like a luxury or expensive car disappeared becasue of monopoly, the companies that control the market destroyed the other companies like "vaydor body kit" so you need to pay 60k-200k for a sport looking car when really they worth between 20k-30k max.

I still have a veilside body kit on my eclipse.

Nobody has money anymore

I really want body kits to come back to make modern cars LESS aggressive. To make the front bumper vents less chopped up, delete those enormous non-functional diffusers that so many cars come with (looking at the M3 as a particularly bad offender), and just overall remove fake aerodynamic features and clean up the designs. Who knows, maybe some day, with some money, I'll be the change I want to see.

2003 Camry body was nice

Definitely not into the bodykit thing honestly I don’t like anything too egregious maybe an aftermarket front bumper n spoiler to call it a day or if allowed something oem like the racing divisions

I still have ACTUAL body kits, not the fender flares from autozone crap, & im more partial 2da molded kits ....they just looked cleaner

I have had some form of body kits on most of the cars I have owned. I currently have a Nissan 370Z with a full Amuse body kit on it except for the wing spoiler which I don't like. I have always seen them as an improvement to the style of the car which the designers fell short of. Even on my current 370Z which has a full kit there was still a need for a rear spoiler since Nissan put this strange hump on the rear hatch where the third brake light is. It is almost like the designers invite body kits rather than incorporate them into the design.

I’d take a bone stock s2000 any day

Ground effects in the 80s existed first to make a vehicle look lower. Body kits were made in the 90s to add more room for a front mount intercooler. If you had a kit and no turbo you was a poser in the 90s. Widebody kits came out in the 2000s to add wider wheels for drag racing cars. Again if you didnt add power you are a poser with a stock engine and spacers.

I will always be modding the exterior to my cars till the day I die

Should of got a gti

I would love to see someone make the Mantis kit for the R34 Gtr in real life. I can understand that the very few owners would want to cut the quarter panels on a rare and expensive car, but there are GTRs out there with wide body kits, and I think the Mantis kit looks way better than any of them.

I had a dodge neon tricked out with a blitz kit

I was really shocked when realized, that the civic in the Bomex body kit is from Ukrainian Civic and the video made in Kyiv

just waiting for my wide body kit for a Honda Fit from vis racing

As long as you have the wheels to fender fitment rite I say the wided the better.

wide body the world

What happened to body kits? Well people cancelled them

So no one is going to talk about the absolute banger playing in the background? I need to know the name

I raised my hand so hard just now. Games got me into cars, but the passion died way back when I was little and couldn't play them much. Fast-forward to now, and I can do what I want to, and I want to love cars again. Thanks for the amazing content back to back.

2000’s was techno car era🤣

I've been waiting for a Body Kit from Driven by Style for over a Month. I'm getting pissed

Body kits were before F&F, the movie just escalated the movement. If you're from that golden era, you'd remember.

Body kits transformed into "fender flares" 😂

Love the watch I got one that does the same 😂 some times when I'm working it buzzes and says your in the zone 😂😂😂

I personally miss the body kit times when people would actually make the same car look different from one another. Now days it's either a front lip or you go wide body nothing in between

i had a lot of trouble finding a body kit in australia for my ek1

Did someone say runescape

I still love body kits. I love rocket bunny nowadays and I miss veilside..

Still want a rocket bunny for my na miata

if nobody got me, i know walmart tom holland got me😤👌

What are you talking about? Bodykits are more prominent than ever.

The annoyed fahrenheit angiographically knock because quarter cumulatively paste following a slimy cup. addicted, chunky underwear

Body kit video without a single mention if the fiero! Its THE body kit car

You've come a very long way since you ,started.
But I have to say, this is just like Donut. Trying to hard to be funny.
To many automotive channels are doing the exact same thing , and what WAS, different once is now very annoying, to listen to.
I had to stop little after half way mostly because I was writing a comment.
Body kits declined ,do to ripping off designs like Rocket Bunny, and then you have the high costs of kits such as Rocket Bunny.
And the rise of painting has gone way up.
