Car body kits are special complete elements that are installed on the outside of the car to change its appearance, improve aerodynamic performance or protect the body. Dodger can include — bumpers, spoilers, sills, other decorative or functional components. It not only helps to highlight the car against the background of others, but can also increase its performance characteristics — improving stability on the road, reducing lift. Dodgers are popular among car owners seeking to make their car unique and expressive. With its help it is possible both easy modification and creation of a completely new look of the car.

Varieties of body kits

Dodgers for cars can be made of different materials:

• Plastic — the most common material due to its lightness, availability, relative ease of processing. It lends itself well to molding, which allows you to create a variety of shapes and designs. Plastic dodgers are usually cheaper than all other options, which makes them attractive to a wide range of car owners.
• Fiberglass is a composite material consisting of glass fiber mixed with polymer resins. Dodges made of fiberglass are characterized by high strength and rigidity, which allows them to better withstand mechanical loads, shocks. However, fiberglass can be more fragile than other materials, which requires caution during installation, operation.
• Carbon fiber is one of the highest performing materials used in the production of dodgers. It provides high strength with minimal weight, which is especially important for sports cars where weight reduction has a significant impact on performance. Carbon fiber dodgers often have good aerodynamic, water repellent properties. However, they are much more expensive compared to plastic and fiberglass options, which limits their use among average car enthusiasts.
• Metal — metal dodgers are characterized by high resistance to mechanical damage, corrosion. They can effectively protect the body, providing reliable protection from shocks, the impact of external factors. However, metal can significantly increase the total weight of the car, which can adversely affect its dynamic characteristics.
