Acura Integra Body Kits, Hoods, Bumpers, Fenders, Spoilers
Aftermarket Body Kits and their components offer the Acura Integra owner a number of advantages and feature beyond making your Integra look like a fast and furious ten second car. It will reduce the over all weight of you vehicle. It will also improve the way you integra handles. This is accomplish by altering the Acura Integra aerodynamics and ground effects, by causing more air to travel over the Acura Integra causing downward pressure on the Acura Integra Hood and reducing air traveling under the car. This markedly increases the Acura Integra aerodynamic and ground effects.
The selection of the material that is used to make a Acura components is as important as the style of Acura Kit you choose. There are three common materials used in the manufacture of most of the Acura Integra Kits available on the market: Fiberglass, Polyurethane, and Carbon Fiber.
- · Fiberglass
- · Fiberglass is the most common material used in manufacturing of Acura Integra hoods, bumpers, fenders, and spoilers. It is by far the least expensive. Fiberglass is a relatively strong material under normal circumstances. It is made from plastic resin and synthetic fiber. You can guard your fiberglass products against cracks and tears by minimizing its direct exposure to undue stress. The strength of this material depends on the methods employed by the manufacturers to mold it.Polyurethane
Polyurethane is the most resilient material for Acura Integra products . Polyurethane tend to be thicker than most fiberglass kits, and weigh about the same in comparable thickness of kits. Urethane has a much more pliable consistency which is an important factor in the installation of the kit. The rigidity of fiberglass almost certainly requires adjustments and alterations to the material when fitting the kit, while urethane tends to be able to flex into place. Urethane can also withstand much more of an impact than fiberglass. The downside to urethane body kits is the cost.
Carbon Fiber is basically very thin fibers that are made up of carbon atoms. What makes this fiber so strong is the particular way the atoms are in alignment. Each fiber is twisted and weaved into another fiber strand to form a yarn like material. With this carbon yarn, just about any shape can be formed such as Acura Integra hoods, bumpers, fenders, side skirts, spoilers and more. During the manufacture process, resin is applied to the material giving it a high strength to weight ratio. Carbon Fiber has one of the highest strength to weight ratio which means it's lighter and stronger than other materials. This is good for the automotive industry in that it helps bring down weight of vehicles this translates to better fuel efficiency and faster speeds for your Acura Integra.
