There is a famous ad for a liquor brand which some people would find expensive. The ad went something like this. It is true choosing this liquor brand will raise your cost of living, but just think how much it will raise your standard of living. When you get great value for a product the cost of living considerations have to be seen from a different perspective. Pure money and need based considerations can easily lead you to an erroneous decision.

Though body kits can enhance the aerodynamics of your car the refinement is not that much unless you are using components such as spoilers which have a significant impact at high speeds.

People prefer better safety features, more comfortable seats and fixtures, and controls that are easier to operate. Many changes are geared to meet these requirements. Technological innovations and new inventions help to achieve these objectives and sometimes they even lead to changes not contemplated or sought for earlier. Changes are also brought in because perceptions change. A car is no longer viewed as a mere means of transportation or locomotion. It is also something to be displayed as a show piece. Owners take pride in this display.

Moreover it reduces weight over the front wheels that results in better control of the vehicle.
