An aftermarket modification designed to alter the aesthetic and potentially the performance of a specific vehicle model. This modification typically involves replacing or adding to the vehicle’s existing body panels to create a broader, more aggressive stance. For instance, components might include widened fender flares, side skirts, and bumper extensions, all crafted to integrate with the vehicle’s original design.
The appeal of such alterations lies in their ability to significantly transform a vehicle’s visual presence. Beyond aesthetics, a wider track can improve handling and stability, particularly in performance driving scenarios. Historically, these modifications have roots in motorsports, where wider bodies accommodated larger tires for enhanced grip and cornering ability. The desire for personalized vehicle aesthetics fuels their continued popularity.
