ABOUT US AND OUR PRODUCTS
  • Who is Air Design?

    Air Design is a highly sustainable design and engineering company that has been manufacturing interior and exterior accessory components for the automotive and aftermarket industry for nearly three decades.

    Air Design utilizes a integrated manufacturing process called Product Life Cycle Management Strategy. Ensuring the entire supply chain is housed under one single roof guarantees constant collaboration at every stage, from conceptual design, CAD, and 3D modeling to engineering, prototyping, tooling, testing, vehicle integration, manufacturing, paint, assembly, and distribution.

    Capabilities exceed the boundaries of an individual market to include custom projects in the areas of medical, technological, green, transport, pet, private label, and more. Air Design’s inhouse tooling capabilities allows customers to choose from a wide range of injection and thermoforming technologies to execute small, medium, or long-range production runs.

  • What are Air Design products made of?

    Accessories are manufactured primarily from thermoplastics (Polyurethane RIM, ABS, and TPR), but aluminum or steel are used for specific applications. All raw materials are of the highest quality and backed by major automakers worldwide. Proprietary injection and thermoforming technologies ensure products are durable, maintain necessary flexibility under extreme conditions, and showcase an OEM-quality finish.

  • Can you manufacture a custom part?

    All Air Design parts are manufactured in series and require the construction of special tooling and a mold so custom parts are not available.

  • Are these products certified/licensed?

    From raw materials and manufacturing technology to the product development cycle, Air Design carries appropriate patents and products are licensed by major automakers. Decades of collaboration, engagement, and testing at the OE level have resulted in best practice industry standards on an international level.

  • Who are Air Design Global Partners?

    Air Design’s commitment to quality assurance has fostered enduring partnerships with esteemed OE brands such as Nissan, Renault, Ford, General Motors, Volkswagen, Seat, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Peugeot, Honda, Suzuki, Toyota, Chrysler, Kia, Siemens Flextronics, Subaru, Vuhl, MG, Hyundai, and many more. Furthermore, Air Design's expansion into the aftermarket, facilitated by wholesale distribution partnerships with industry leaders like Turn5 and Parts ID in the US, Grandwest in Canadá and several importers around the world, enables Air Design to leverage its extensive OE experience, enhancing consumer access to its premium styling products.

ABOUT APPLICATIONS
  • What part number do I use to purchase a Front Bumper Guard for my truck if my bumper has the fog lights?

    If your vehicle model is not mentioned under "Application" in the Product Overview, the part will not fit.

    All Air Design parts are manufactured in series and require the construction of special tooling and a mold so custom parts are not available.

  • Will the Front Bumper Guard fit my truck with a grille guard or bull bar?

    Air Design Front Bumper Guards can only be properly installed on factory bumpers. While there are some grille guards, bull bars, and other front bumper accessories that can be adapted to fit, it’s strongly recommended not to do so since this could affect part performance and/or void consumer warranty.

  • Will the Tailgate Spoiler fit my truck with a bed cover?

    There are some folding or retractable tonneau covers that fit or can be adapted to Air Design’s Tailgate Spoiler. There won’t be issues with installation, as long as the tailgate top surface is free. It’s strongly recommended not to force the installation of this part since doing so would affect part performance and/or void a consumer warranty.

  • Will the Tailgate Spoiler fit my truck with factory step?

    It’s not recommended to install Air Design’s Tailgate Spoiler alongside a factory step because use would be disabled.

ABOUT INSTALLATION
  • How are Air Design parts installed?

    Air Design parts are designed for a quick, easy, no-drill installation. Commercial-grade adhesives act as a bonding agent and nearly eliminate the need for an installer to cut into a vehicle’s sheet metal. All Air Design parts come with an installation manual and hardware. The use of any other tools or hardware aside from what was supplied voids the product warranty.

  • Is there something I need to know before and after installation?

    Clean the vehicle’s sheet metal with isopropyl alcohol (91%) and keep it free from any kind of dust, oil, and chemicals before installing Air Design parts.

    Air Design parts can’t be installed over wrap or vinyl decals.

    Both the vehicle sheet metal and part(s) to be installed must be at a temperature above 16°C or 60°F. If the surface is too cold, then warm the vehicle sheet metal with a heat gun.

    Don’t wash the vehicle for 24 hours after Air Design parts are installed. It’s also recommended to drive slowly.

    For full instructions, review the installation manuals.

  • How long do Air Design parts take for install?

    Installation is dependent upon how acquainted an installer is with Air Design parts but on average three hours is necessary for a full body kit with 17 pieces. It’s recommended for two installers to complete the installation.

  • Are the parts ready to be installed?

    All Air Design products arrive ready to install straight from the package, and feature either an OE satin black or silver factory finish. All parts can be painted to match a vehicle’s factory finish as well.

  • Is there a manual that shows how to install the parts?

    All Air Design parts come with an installation manual and appropriate hardware. Additional products materials and/or video tutorials are also available via Air Design’s YouTube Installation Sessions .

ABOUT SUPER BOLT® FENDER FLARES
  • Do you use an adhesive or bolts on the fender flares?

    A patented Super Bolt® System for the fender flares adheres to any smooth surface allowing the part to be mechanically fastened without having to drill into your vehicle’s sheet metal.

    Fender flares are molded using high-tech multilayer black ABS brought from Austria and then top coated with OEM-approved 2K satin black paint. They are the only fender flares within the accessories aftermarket that feature a mechanical fixation to the body line, which eliminates all vibration and paint damage, and they are the only flares that incorporate a mud flap to widen the bottom of the flare, protecting a vehicle from road debris.

  • What is the cost for body color on fender flares?

    Painted parts are handled as a special order and might take extra time to be shipped. In order for the request to be processed, please contact shop@airdesignusa.com with the desired paint code (mandatory). Additional shipping fees may apply.

  • I need to paint my flares but rubber seal is pre-installed, can I get an extra rubber seal?

    Uninstalling the rubber seal from Air Design Fender Flares isn’t necessary. It’s just enough with retracting and mask it. Please review the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjZfC7P7dos

    If your order is being delivered to a business address, please be advised that our carrier will deliver to a mailroom or reception area and will request a signature from the receptionist/mailroom contact. Our carrier does not require a signature specific to the order details.

  • How do you handle refunds in case I want to cancel my order?

    If you have paid for your order with a credit card and then cancelled before it ships, no refund is necessary as your credit card has not been debited. Air Design only takes payment once the order is dispatched, but your bank may have reserved these funds as a preauthorization. The money will be visible on your account within a few days, subject to your credit card provider’s policy. If you have paid for your order with PayPal, a refund will be credited to the account after the cancellation is processed. The funds should appear back into your bank account within 5 business days subject to standard banking practice.
