Components designed to modify the external appearance of a specific model year of a compact sports car are considered aftermarket enhancements. These typically include front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and sometimes spoilers, intended to alter the vehicle’s aesthetics and aerodynamics. An example would be a set of custom-designed panels installed on a 1992 Acura Integra to give it a more aggressive or personalized look.
The appeal of these aesthetic upgrades lies in their ability to individualize a vehicle and reflect the owner’s personal style. Historically, the availability of such custom parts has been driven by trends in motorsports and car customization, often influencing the design and materials used. Such modifications can enhance a vehicle’s perceived value and generate interest within car enthusiast communities.
