Ground effects (or "Ground EFX") body kits are creating a sensation in custom automotive styling. With a custom body-kit, you can alter the look and lines of your car. And in many cases you can do it yourself. In this episode,
Weekend Mechanic host Bruce Bonebrake and aftermarket specialist Rusty Fox install custom body components on a 2001 Acura 3.2 CLS. And while the add-on parts out being professionally painted, they boost the engine's horsepower, and enhance fuel economy, by installing a cold-air intake kit. For a finishing touch, they install a lightweight carbon-fiber sport hood.
