An aftermarket automotive enhancement comprising components designed to modify the exterior aesthetics of a specific vehicle model is considered a body kit. Specifically, for the model year 2016 of a mid-size sedan manufactured by a South Korean automotive company, a body kit typically includes front and rear bumper extensions, side skirts, and potentially a rear spoiler or decklid. These components are designed to integrate with the existing vehicle structure, altering its visual profile.
The integration of such components can provide a more aggressive or sporty appearance to the vehicle. The benefits can extend beyond aesthetics. Aerodynamic properties may be subtly altered, although this is typically more pronounced with professionally engineered and wind-tunnel-tested kits. Historically, the modification of vehicle exteriors has been a popular form of personalization, reflecting individual preferences and stylistic trends. The availability of kits for specific models allows owners to customize their vehicles without extensive fabrication work.
