Quick Answer
Question: What must be checked before buying a body kit?
Answer: Body kit fitment depends on exact generation, sensor/radar/camera layout, paint plan and package contents; a kit that mounts may still hide sensors or need calibration.
Compatibility depends on:
- Generation and LCI phase
- Sensor, radar and camera layout
- Material and finish (PP / carbon)
- Painting and shipping plan
