How much does a custom body kit cost?
Mid-range body kits, usually made from higher-quality fiberglass or polyurethane materials and designed to fit specific vehicle makes and models, can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) body kits are typically the most expensive option, as they’re designed and manufactured by the vehicle’s original manufacturer. However, they offer a guaranteed perfect fit and high-quality craftsmanship.A body kit does more than just make your vehicle look cool; it serves various purposes, from enhancing aerodynamics to personalizing your ride appearance. Whether you are a professional car enthusiast or a daily driver looking to upgrade your vehicle, choosing the right body kit materials is crucial.
Do body kits affect insurance?
In general, if you have a standard policy, bodywork changes can increase your premium by 10-15%. However, if you already have a modified insurance policy, a body kit is unlikely to affect your premium unless it dramatically increases the value of your car. A car fitted with a body kit will cost more when it comes to insurance for a number of reasons. Firstly, the often substantial cost of the body kit itself increases the value of the car, and so the cost of an insurance pay-out in the event of a claim.
