This is a car with a stealth look and killer style, but your Honda Prelude could look even better with the installation of body kits or ground effects. One of these cars lowered, with tinted windows, rims, and kits will create a custom ride that will blow all others off the road.
The style of your car is important but not the only thing that will be improved with body kits. Performance is also enhanced by creating a more aerodynamic shape and moving the air more effectively around and over the car. Lift is something that happens when too much air flows under the car. This will give it some lift, and can reduce traction and even cause you to lose control at high speeds. You can reduce or even eliminate such lift with body kits. When body kits are installed on vehicles, it causes air to moves over the top presses down on the car creating down force. This is vital if you race or even drive at high speeds. These body kits can also give your car the effect that it has been lowered without altering your suspension.
Fiberglass and Urethane are the two major materials used when making body kits. Some Brands will actually develop their own blends of these materials including some others to create the ultimate quality in body kits. Extreme dimensions kits are an example of this with their Duraflex materials combining fiberglass, plastic, and flex resins to retain the body kits unique features.
Fiberglass body kits are going to be a cheaper material but the durability directly reflects the price. It is inexpensive but cannot hold up to the elements or any sort of impacts. These kits will crack easy and show small little spider cracks as it begins to age. Urethane kits on the other hand are more expensive but its ability to respond to impact is much greater. The fact that urethane is more flexible means that it can take more abuse, and can withstand harsh weather conditions.
