Choosing a Body Kit
Choosing a body kit is probably the most fun part of the entire process, short of seeing the actual finished product. There are so many kits to choose from, and you can mix and match to your heart's content. What's the secret to choosing the right body kit?
Well, there isn't really a secret. But here are some steps that should make the process smooth and lots of fun.
If you have no idea what type of kit you want, start off by looking at some major manufacturer's websites. Try WingsWest and Erebuni.
The most important part is getting a picture of the kit already on a car. To do this, do searches at Google. For example, try "Civic Avenger Kit Pictures" Almost every time you will find detailed pictures of someone's personal car on their web page. Now you will know how it will look.
Keep repeating the step above until you find exactly what you want. If you are trying to mix and match then this will be harder, you will probably have to use a little imagination by looking at each piece on different cars.

Painting a Body Kit
Painting A Body Kit
The first thing you will need to do with your body kit once you have it is to paint it. This is actually a moderately complicated process that you are most likely not going to be able to do yourself. If you have received a kit unprimed and unprepped, you will need to get both of those done before painting it. The tools that are required to paint the car are only going to be available in a professional paint shop.
Some benefits to having a shop do the prep work and painting for you include:
Better job done - no blotchy or uneven looking paint
Use of good materials to create a finished look
Matching of the proper paint color to your car color to get it right the first time
Trying to paint a kit yourself requires the right tools and most people don't have them, let alone the experience to do a proper job. This is one of those things best left to professionals unless you have experience painting cars already of course.
If you are dead set on doing this process by yourself, check out WingsWest's videos here. Watching these just might change your mind and have you heading to a shop.
What if I don't want to have to take it to a shop to get it painted?
There is one other option that is really the best one and that is ordering a kit with it already prepped, primed, and painted. You can order kits that come pre-painted with the factory color options.

Installing a Body Kit
Installing a Body Kit
You've got your body kit in your hands and it is painted and ready to go! Now all you have to do is get it on the car. As with painting, there are two ways to get it on: doing it yourself or having it professionally installed. The difference here is putting the kit on by yourself is much easier than painting it yourself.
Installing a Body Kit Yourself
If you order your body kit from a large company they will provide step by step documentation of how to install it yourself. Installing the body kit yourself consists of attaching the pieces to the car with double sided tape (comes with the kit usually) and using screws to make sure the kit is on tight.
The actual install is not too bad as long as you take your time, make sure each piece is going to fit properly, and follow the instructions. Some manufacturers provide documentation online of how to install your kit, and if that is something you think you would find useful then take that into consideration when buying your kit.
When in doubt, get your body kit installed professionally
Nothing substitutes for a professional install if you are unsure of doing the install yourself. If you get it done professionally you will know that the kit is on right and the fit is correct.

Body Kit
A bodykit or body kit is a collection of exterior modifications to a car, typically comprising front and rear bumpers (fenders), side skirts, and spoilers. There are many companies that sell these replacements as alternatives to the traditional look of the vehicle from the factory. Body kits will be designed to complement each other, and work together as a complete design. Despite this, the 'mix and match' approach is often seen on cars, where the front of one body kit will be matched with the rear of another.
Automotive body kits are usually constructed of either fiberglass or polyurethane. Most car modification enthusiasts prefer polyurethane[citation needed] because it is more resistant to damage and does not crack in cold weather. In some cases, body kits may also be constructed of carbon fiber, which is a popular, lightweight material. This type of modification is not as highly regarded among speed enthusiasts, though, because it is very costly, and the difference in weight is minimal, versus changing other parts such as the hood or trunk.
Factory fitted body kits are now becoming more common, perhaps in response to the growth of the aftermarket tuning industry in the late nineties and onwards. Many manufacturers now work in-house with their own tuning division to develop styling upgrades.
