Automotive Styling Transforms Your Car into a Work of Art

It is the art of transforming a car's appearance and design, whether interior or exterior. Automotive styling services include designing and modifying the vehicle's body lines, lights, tires, colors, seats, interior trim, and exterior appearance, such as the car's body or hood. At Carbonov Design, we are experts in this field, and you can visit us in Dubai to see our work in action.

What is the purpose of automotive styling?

The primary goal of automotive styling is to give a specific or customized visual identity to the vehicle. For example, if you're a car enthusiast and see a Lamborghini on the street without any logo or text identifying the manufacturer's brand, at first glance, you'll recognize it as a Lamborghini based on the sharp lines of the body, the shape of the lights, and the distinctive hood of the Lamborghini. The same applies if you see a Mercedes, Porsche, or Ferrari. Second: There are many drivers interested in adding their own touches and personality to their cars and making their identity more in line with their personal tastes through some modifications and customizations.

The most important areas that branch out from auto style design:

There are many areas that fall within this framework, but in general, any area that involves modifying or customizing a car's exterior or interior appearance is considered a branch of the art of auto style. However, we will briefly mention the most important ones here:

Body kits: These are a group of modified and customized parts that are added to the vehicle's body for the purpose of improving the car, such as introducing more air to the engine (hood vents), making the airflow movement more streamlined (wings), or making the car lighter (carbon body kits), or to improve the car's appearance (such as body kits in a shiny gold color, for example).

Custom Colors and Graphics: There are two options for changing the vehicle's color or adding Car graphics by traditional paint or colored vinyl wrapping, which is the preferred option recently due to its ease of removal and protection of the original paint. The most important categories of graphics include geometric shapes and lines, words and letters, animation and animation, company logos and advertisements (car branding), and natural forms.

Interior Modifications: Less popular compared to other fields, these include seat upholstery and customization, and cockpit modifications through the addition of stickers or minor wrapping of some interior details.

Types and Classifications of Car Styling

Car styling classifications vary depending on the purpose of this design style. The main classifications are divided into:

Factory Styling: This is the design created by car manufacturers such as Mercedes and Porsche for their car models. The design often has some similar general features to express the company's identity, while some details vary from model to model to allow for some customization. However, careful consideration is given to safety and security requirements when designing the appearance of the car, especially the stability of the car and the flow of air while driving.

Aftermarket Styling: Modifications and designs added to a vehicle by the owner after purchase. These are styles added to the manufacturer's styles to give the vehicle a personal touch or improve certain aspects, such as adding body kits or graphics to the vehicle's body.

Performance Styling: In this case, the purpose of customizing the style is to demonstrate the vehicle's power and speed through sharp lines, prominent designs, and some body kits, such as adding additional vents to the hood or spoiler. This style is most evident in sports and supercars (Porsche, Ferrari, and Lamborghini).

Luxury Styling: The goal is to showcase the sophistication of the design and luxury. Smooth lines are used with high-quality materials such as carbon and fiber. This style is evident in luxury cars such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Mercedes.

Off-Road Styling: Designed for off-road and high-performance vehicles, it focuses on increasing strength and durability, such as installing larger wheels or additional headlights. Cars that fit this style include Ford, Toyota, Chevrolet, Jeep, and Land Rover.

Basic Rules in Car Styling Design

We have some basic criteria when we begin any car styling project. Professionalism and excellent final results are our goal. Satisfying the customer, fulfilling their requirements, and balancing them is our consulting role to achieve a magical, imaginative car look. We will mention the most important of these rules below:

Do not obscure the original identity of the car: As we mentioned previously, all cars have the manufacturer's design upon purchase, which reflects the identity of that car. It's best for the company to ensure that modifications don't distort or obscure key features of this identity, in order to preserve the spirit of the car.

Don't focus on appearance at the expense of performance: When making visual modifications, such as adding body kits, ensure that these parts won't affect the smooth flow of air while driving or impact the vehicle's performance.

Choose high-quality parts and materials: Don't settle for cheap, low-quality parts, whether when purchasing vinyl wrap or body kits. Over time, you will encounter many performance and appearance problems.

Pay attention to small details: Don't ignore these simple details when starting an automotive styling project, as each detail plays an influential role in the final results, such as the grille and side mirrors.

Don't overdo it: Choosing too many modifications to the car's design makes it less attractive and backfires. Therefore, select logical modifications for a clear purpose, leading to a satisfactory final result.

An interior design that coordinates and complements the exterior: Adding some simple details to the cockpit or seat modifications that harmonize in color and design with the exterior takes your car's design to the next level. Of course, all these modifications must be permitted by local laws in your country, otherwise you will be subject to fines and possibly legal action.
