It's too bad that people(mostly kids) can't think for themselves. The watched The Fast and The Furious and the aftermarket industry flooded the market with all these products. Honestly, like Tancred said, Locally(everywhere), everyone is doing this.

Now, I've seen a few cars that actually looked good when done properly, but the physics won't help back up any potential reasoning for body kits and wings.

First, a huge front bumper/lip/fascia doesn't really help aerodynamics at all. It just causes more drag, thus slowing the overall speed.

Second, a wing on the trunk of a FWD car makes the car more loose than not having it at all. A simple front bumper lip is way more functional.

Finally, I did see some one who had it all backwards. They had painted their body kit the final color and had the car sanded down to the metal. That one I think beats them all. Pretty funny.
