Removed comment
I removed the comment about "Peugeot were perhaps the first to bring the factory bodykit back to the fore in 1997". I briefly worked at Ford in 1995/1996, and we had reams of promotional material on our (hideous) RS bodykits for the then-new Ford Mondeo. Not that I'm giving Ford the credit, mind you... -- DeLarge 15:04, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Advantages?
"Many advantages to body kits include better aerodynamics as well as having a high degree of aesthetic value" Huh? Many body kits give more drag and are ugly as my knob. I've removed my knob. // Liftarn

A lot of tuning companies also add body kits to help with aerodynamics. Examples being Ruf, Gemballa, Brabus, Novitec and Overfinch. Redstoneprime (talk) 08:48, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

just for looks?
is there any benefit to these or do they just make the car look sportier? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.224.66.237 (talk) 22:53, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Some bodykits (not all, mind you) actually help to improve a cars aerodynamics. It's the reason why upgraded cars from the likes of Brabus, Ruf or Novitec often look sportier than your standard Mercedes, Porsche, Ferrari, McLaren or Lamborghini (for example).
