Fiction: Body kits make your car more aerodynamic. You get more speed and save gas. The decrease in weight significantly improves car handling and speed. (Speed <-- theres the magic word again...)
Fact: Body kits are the worst thing for your car. The larger surface area
increases drag and slows you down, forcing you to press harder on the gas pedal and using up more fuel. Also, when they advertise light weight, it means if the bumper would be as big as your stock one, it would weight less, but since it's 2 or 3... even 4x bigger in some cases, it really comes down to the same weight.
*Note - My "analogies" are based on full kits,like the F&F ones. Lips are not included because they have been race proven.
