SPIRIT, SKILL, INNOVATION IN EVERY MAKE

The origin of aero designAll of KUHL's aero parts are designed by Kataoka, the company's president and general manager.Kataoka is an avid car enthusiast and customization enthusiast, and he has fed back the joy of driving cars and his unique know-how gained from his numerous race and drift experiences on the circuit into the development of aero parts.KUHL's aero parts incorporate a variety of innovative technologies, such as the pursuit of high-strength materials for all motorsport situations and the active adoption of aerodynamic design methods that reduce air resistance.The styling, backed by functionality full of confidence and conviction, instantly catches people's attention and burns it into their memories. At the annual motor show, many fans and media come to enjoy KUHL's new aero parts and complete cars.Cars must be cool and exciting. The founder's pure DNA lives on in each and every product.

DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM THAT RESPONDS PROMPTLY TO RAPIDLY CHANGING MARKET NEEDS

Development system that responds promptly to rapidly changing market needs

KUHL has established various development systems to promptly respond to the model change cycle of cars and the diversifying needs of customers. We achieve both high quality and speed by carefully examining the location, shape, size, characteristics, etc. of the parts and adopting a manufacturing process that is suitable for each part without unnecessary mistakes.In recent years, as the number of car models we handle has increased, we have newly adopted advanced modeling technology that makes full use of NC processing machines (machining centers) and 3D printers.High-precision infrared scanning technology and CAD design processes by skilled craftsmen enable the production of parts with unparalleled accuracy, and we have realized a wide lineup by dividing large parts such as full bumper aero and wide body kits and small parts such as front grilles and garnishes that are difficult to mold with FRP into appropriate manufacturing processes for each part. We continue to make corporate efforts to deliver KUHL products to customers as soon as possible and at the lowest possible price.

MASTER CRAFTSMANSHIP AND UNIQUE QUALITY STANDARDS
Master craftsmanship and unique quality standards. To realize aero design at a high level, human sensitivity, which cannot be measured by numbers or data, is essential. The design perspective, which is a blueprint drawn on a flat surface, is carved out of clay or urethane by skilled craftsmen and put into the real world. Each character line and surface that makes up the aero parts makes use of the master's skill in meticulously calculating the emotion created by the shadows and the air resistance. This human sensitivity is fully demonstrated not only in the design but also in the fitting. KUHL aero parts fit perfectly as if they were designed based on the manufacturer's blueprint, with no deviation to the millimeter. Another major strength is that we limit production to domestic production where people can easily see, in order to control and guarantee the quality so that there are no unevenness in the production process. This allows anyone to get their hands on KUHL products with confidence and try customizing. We want to increase the number of car lovers and make customization a culture.This wish is embodied in every detail of the parts that KUHL produces.
