Posted: 14 Nov 2011 09:55 AM PST

Most people want to customize their cars to make the look a little more special that most of the other machines that are on the road these days. In a world where just about everything we touch is mass produced, it's good to be able to make some changes to your car and drive something a little different from what's come off the assembly line.

Body kits offer one way to make you car a little different from the rest of the pack and allows you to add a bit of your personality to the overall appearance of the car. Body kits are available for just about all makes of cars, especially the more popular models that owners often enjoy customizing. For Honda owners, Honda Civic body kits are a popular item because the Civic is a model that sparks the imagination of many a backyard mechanic and customizing enthusiast.

With body kits, amateur customizers can make up their own minds how they will alter the appearance of their car. The kits are, in essence, a group of modifications to a particular car's exterior, and they usually include the front and rear bumpers, side skirts and spoilers, and some kits add other parts, too. The modifications usually look cool, and they make the car more aerodynamically sound for less wind resistance.

You can find Honda Civic body kits in polyurethane and fiberglass, and many Honda owners choose polyurethane because it's tough, and resists damage and cracks in the winter time. However, if it should become damaged it cannot be repaired. Fiberglass parts, however, can be repaired, and they tend to fit cars better. Once you choose which kind of material you want, buying a body kit is quite simple. You can check out the offerings in Honda Civic body kits by browsing online, or checking out the offerings at an auto parts store.

While the Civic is not known as one of the best-designed cars on the market, it's noted for fuel efficiency, durability and reliability. For those qualities, many appreciate the compact, affordable vehicle that has been a top seller over the years. It's also been popular for some with car customizers, also known as "tuners." You can buy hundreds of different customizing parts for a Civic. One part that is aimed at improving performance is the carbon fiber hood, which is used to replace the factory-installed hood. The carbon fiber model cuts 50 pounds from the car's weight.

You can find more Honda Civic body kits that will reduce your Honda's weight, and give it more aerodynamically sound shape to reduce wind resistance and make it perform better.
