When you are looking at a car, the most apparent modifications you can see are the exterior modifications, such as body kits, lip kits, wings, hoods, hood scoops, wheels, tires and everything else car tuners use to modify their car to perform to their maximum ability. When you are dealing with trying to find the best body kits or lip kits for your car, there are a couple tips you can use to help choose which types of body kits or lip kits to buy.

The first thing you must know is modifying the exterior results in altering the down force of your car. The best body kits and lip kits are the ones which help flow air over key parts of the kit, resulting in greater down force on the car, ultimately giving you better traction under your tires. Any person into racing or tuning cars should customize their down force levels in order to make faster turns, stay straight on the drag strip, and stay on the road going 100-150 mph+.

On that note, the first part of any body kit or lip kit you should look are the wings and formations along the bottom and sides of the bumpers, in order to see how well it will force air to flow over and apply down force. Also, if you have a turbo car, you will definitely need to find out if your intercooler, if you have one set up or will set one up in the future, will fit in with the bumper mounted on the front, along with if it will get enough air passing through it with the body kit or lip kit on the car.
