The Best Toyota Body Parts

Your vehicle's body has as many parts as they have jobs. Most are panels made of metal, plastic, or fiberglass. They add protection during accidents, seal your interior against weather and debris, safeguard mechanical and electrical components (and help prevent their corrosion), and sometimes even improve aerodynamics.

Types of Car Body Parts

Hoods and hood panels, for example, are basically engine covers with hinges. Bumpers, however, attach to your front and rear ends and absorb impact force. Cowl screens, on the other hand, cover the air intake on your hood; cowl panels, though, cover your windshield wipers and protect the cowl from rainwater and debris. Decklids are simply the hinged panels that cover trunks.

Fascia is a term that indicates everything from your grille and headlights (themselves usually held by header panels) to your front bumper and other surface treatments. Quarter panels are the welded surfaces between your trunk and rear doors. Rear panels, you can find between quarter panels and your rear bumper.

Fenders frame wheel wells, helping keep your tires from kicking up excessive muck. Pillars are vertical or nearly vertical supports for car window areas. Spoilers reduce air resistance to smooth out the drive and can be one of two types: an air dam or deflector up front, or a wing in back.

Finally, trim consists of the decorative parts that give your ride a stylish look. There are as many internal body parts as there are external, too. Take stamped metal rockers, for instance. They run along the side of a vehicle between its wheel wells, and they're crucial parts of an automotive structure, helping to keep its front and back from separating.
