Body kits and tuning accessories: prices and rules in the United States

A universal front lip or splitter for a car in the United States costs about $24–$70, while a full body kit for a specific model runs about $870–$4,230, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. Painting and fitting are extra. To get a price for your car, create a request on BlaBlaPrice with the make, model and year.

Warranty and aftermarket parts

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act means that an aftermarket part alone is not grounds to deny a warranty claim. Ask the seller in writing what the kit's own warranty covers, and whether it is a warranty on materials, on workmanship or on both. Keep the installer's invoice with the car's service records, so you can show the work was done properly if a question comes up later.

Safety, legal use and local checks

Many aftermarket parts are regulated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration based on safety needs. Ask the seller whether the part is approved for street use in your state, and whether it changes the lights, bumper height or wheel clearance. A part that is fine for a track day may not be legal on public roads, so state the use when you ask.

Season and paint

Painting and fitting are easier in warm, dry weather. In winter, December–February, cold and damp conditions slow paint curing in an unheated garage, so a painted kit should be booked before the cold sets in. A kit fitted in November or early in the season is ready for the next summer, June–August, when the car is driven more and seen more.

Shipping and what to write

Kits are bulky and often ship by freight, so ask for the total delivered price to New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston or Phoenix. Dimensions are given in inches, and paint can be ordered to a color code. Name the car make, model and year, the material you want, whether it should be painted or unpainted, the condition of the car and your budget.

Buying is free. Describe the kit in your own words in a chat, add a photo if it helps, and BlaBlaPrice's AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the United States, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide with whom to share them, and you can also invite a local seller yourself by sending the request link by text, email or WhatsApp. Start with create a request, or read how BlaBlaPrice works.
