How to make a body kit with your own hands?

To create downforce acting on the car should make a kit. With your hands, of course. Besides a considerable optimization of the air flow, your car will gain a unique exterior. And in some cases external tuning of the car is changed beyond recognition. Relative cheapness and effectiveness of the use of the kits makes them quite a popular way of transforming the appearance of the machines. 

To increase downforce front of the car is the body kit front bumper. Side twists, which are capable of pressing the car from the road while driving should be eradicated by making the body kit of the rapids. Pretty dangerous air turbulence behind the car, because they instantly can lead to loss of control. Thus, without production body kit rear bumper to do is difficult. Especially if you plan to travel on a high (120 km/h and above) speeds.

Spoiler could be considered part of the body kit and being designed to compress the rear of the vehicle to the road surface. Sometimes skirts with their hands make for decorating duct, performs the function of cooling the individual parts of the car. For example, brakes, radiator, or intake manifold.

Before carrying out such work you will need to mark the locations of cutouts, pre-attaching the ductwork to the future him. You can use the ones that are used in construction. Besides, it is necessary to make special cut outs in the bumper, which will contribute to better cooling of the radiator or air entering into the intake system. These holes are usually closed mesh. And it is attached to the bumper from the inner side or just pasted into it.
