VIS Racing Techno R 3 Body Kit - Full Kit

Q: Are body kits and ground effects the same thing?
A: Yes. Ground effects, body kits, spoiler kits, bumper kits and aero kits are all terms that mean the exact same thing.

Q: Do you put a body kit on over your factory bumpers, or do you replace your factory bumpers with a body kit?
A: Some body kits come with bumpers that replace your entire factory bumpers while others come with add-on lips that attach to your existing bumpers. It all depends on the brand and style of the body kit.

Q: What's the difference between fiberglass and poly-urethane body kits?
A: The difference between fiberglass and poly-urethane body kits is that they are made from different composite materials. Both types of materials have positive qualities. Urethane is a rubber-type material that is very flexible and will hold up well in the case of an accident. Urethane is therefore popular for its durability. Fiberglass body kits in general are less flexible than urethane body kits (although this definitely depends on the manufacturer), but are more resistant to extreme weather conditions. Additionally, paint adheres very well to fiberglass, so there likely will not be paint problems with a fiberglass. Finally, fiberglass kits are relatively inexpensive. Both composites are used widely throughout the world for body kit manufacturing, and each has proven to be very popular.

Q: What all do body kits come with?
A: Full kits generally include the front bumper, the side skirts, and the rear bumper. Look at the body kit description to see exactly what is included. Some kits come with fender flares, wings (spoilers), hoods, or other styling accessories.

Q: Are body kits strong enough for a daily driver, or are they just for show cars?
A: Body kits are very strong when installed correctly. Of course, fiberglass can indeed crack if in a fender-bender or if you hit a curb too hard, but in general they will last you a long time. For an added level of strength, consider going with a urethane body kit if available for your vehicle.

Q: I see the same style of body kit listed under different brand names. What's the difference?
A: Indeed, you will sometimes see the same exact style of body kit listed under two or more different brands on our website. In this case, it means that the exact same style is just made by more than one manufacturer. Each of the body kit manufacturers whose product line we carry is an elite body kit brand, yet each has its own unique manufacturing process. Read about this manufacturer section under the detail product listing for each brand to learn more about each. Also feel free to contact us to ask any other questions you might have.

Q: Do body kits fit over the existing bumpers or replace them?
A: Most body kits bumpers will require you to remove your original factory bumper covers and replace them with the ones you've purchased (normally you use the same hardware from your factory bumpers to install the new body kit bumpers). If your body kit includes front and/or rear "lips" or "fascias" the front and/or rear pieces will attach underneath your existing bumpers.

Q: What exactly is a body kit? Why buy a body kit?
A: A body kit is essentially a collection of parts that, when installed on your car, modify its appearance. Most body kits modify the look of the front and rear bumpers and of the rocker panels on a car. Many body kits consist of custom bumpers that replace your factory bumpers, while others include lips or fascias that you add to your factory bumpers. Almost all body kits come with sideskirts that are installed on top of your factory rocker panels. Body kits often create the look of a lowered vehicle and can give your car an aggressive look, a super-clean flowing look, or a race car look, to name a few types of styles. Out of all available modifications, body kits probably make the biggest impact on the appearance of a car. Installing a body kit on your car will completely change your car's look, and will certainly turn peoples' heads as you drive down the street!

Q: Can I mix and match body kit components if I don't like a particular part?
A: Yes, absolutely! Keep in mind that it's best to try to stick with one brand, however, as additional shipping charges may be incurred if the parts come from different warehouses. If you have any questions or concerns, just contact us!
