Straight from the tag line "Zoom Zoom" you will find the Mazda Protégé and its ability to be a performance car. You can enhance that performance and style with body kits. Being unique is vital when you own a style of car that can be seen all over our roads. There are a couple variations of this popular car. There is the original and the Protege5 as well, which is the hatchback model. The hatchback can be a hot car to modify as they look great with ground effects.
Body kits will make your car look impressive, but that's not all it will do. You can also make your car handle better and give it better control as well. Body kits more the air as you travel around the car more appropriately to avoid drag and lift. With the redirection of the air from the body kits you will create a down force that will enable you to get better traction at higher speeds.
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 body 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 body 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.
