AN INTERNATIONAL ARS

Truly an International Brand, ARS Bodykits are fabricated from Imported Materials and Matrices from All Corners of the World, including Japan, the United Kingdom, Korea, and the United States of America. Our products are in turn exported to the Farthest Reaches of the Globe.

THE WIDEST SELECTIONS

We take Great Pride in providing you with a Vast Product range of Bodykits. From the JDM Enthusiast, to the DTM Lover, ARS' Bodykit Offering continues to Grow with each Passing day to cater to their Needs.

QUALITY, OUR FIRST, MIDDLE AND LAST NAME

More than a Decade of Experience, coupled with Superior Composite Expertise, ensures your Total Satisfaction. Delighting consumers with Unsurpassed Quality, ARS represents an Unprecedented Standard in Aftermarket Aerodynamics. Every single piece, bearing the ARS label, is Painstakingly Finished for your Enjoyment. In terms of Gloss, Durability and Resistance to Natural Forces, ARS brings you Sheer Bodykit Perfection. We have Made it Our Business to ensure that Quality is, and will always remain, Our Prime Forte.

We are the only manufacturer to fabricate Bodykits in our Proprietary EFR Racing Composite. Our Competitors have tried to mimic our Innovative Composite Concoction to no avail. As it stands, EFR is the Only Composite in the market that delivers just the Right Amount of Flex, while Maintaining the Highest Possible Durability Levels.


The Big Question: Why should I Choose FRP or EFR Bodykits over ABS or PU Bodykits?

FRP and EFR composite parts are fabricated using thermosetting resins. On the contrary, PU and ABS parts are manufactured utilizing thermoplastic resins. The properties of thermoplastics are greatly affected by temperature. Shoddy manufacturing processes utilizng thermoplastics can create parts that are highly susceptible to warping, even under normal environmental conditions.
FRP and EFR composite parts are readily repaired. PU and ABS parts are almost impossible to repair using conventional methods.
FRP and EFR parts, as a result of the glass reinforcement, have a higher strength to weight ratio. The end result is significantly stronger (even FRP matches all but the most advanced and expensive metals in specific strength, and comfortably puts any conventional metal to shame), lighter (approximately equalling the weight of magnesium) and more durable parts.
FRP and EFR parts, as a result of the resins utilized, are extremely resilient. They exhibit excellent moisture and temperature resistance. At the same time, they possess excellent anti-corrosion characteristics customarily found in exclusive, pricey plastics.
