Function
-
A ground effect kit can change the look of your Toyota. Your car or truck may be transformed with a lower body appearance, an aerodynamic line, or a commanding or racing style. Also, a well-suited body kit is the most dramatic impact you can actually give to your car. It changes its personality and may even become a nice attraction driving down the road.
Types
-
The term "ground effects" can sometimes be referred to as "auto body kits." But if your vehicle is a Toyota pickup, you may also find a truck ground effects package. Depending on the actual changes you want to give to your car or truck, you can find spoiler kits and bumper kits, but basically they all mean the same thing. Take this into account when shopping around for the best body kit for your car, and consult the list of parts included with each kit.

Identification
-
A typical body kit may include both rear and front bumper extensions like lips or bumper replacements, and fascias or side skirts to enclose the rocker panels. Still other packages come with fender flares and hood modifications.
Considerations
-
Some Toyota ground effects are so popular that more than one company carries the same body kit. Price might not be the only difference, though. If you are looking for a high-quality product, read about the manufacturing process and materials used (the information will be on the kit's label) so you know exactly what you are getting for your money (see Resources below).
Significance
-
"Ground effects" in an automobile refers to the aerodynamic line that allows the tires on a vehicle to keep as much contact as possible with the ground at high speeds. Bumper and side skirts redirect the air around the vehicle, allowing the flow of air on top to press down on the car. Air going through the gap between the road and the underside of a car without surrounding skirts can actually have a lift effect and diminish driver control at high speeds (see Resources below).
