Overview

Body Work That Suits Metairie

A Metairie truck that hauls a boat to the lake or equipment for work needs its bumper, steps and hitch to cooperate. We fit to the factory mounting points and check it with the trailer on.

Body work has to fit before it looks like anything. Steel bumpers, fender flares, power steps and full kits are mounted to the vehicle’s own points, lined up panel to panel, and finished so the join does not show. Metairie customers see the fitment dry before paint.

Every body kits job here starts the same way: we look at the vehicle, agree what it needs, and put a price and a timeline in writing before anything is touched. You get updates while it is with us and the final say on every part that goes on. Metairie customers book by phone or by sending photographs, and the shop is in New Orleans.

Tell us what the vehicle needs and we will come back with options, a timeline and a price. Contact Big Easy Custom Cars to book body kits in Metairie.

What We Fit in Metairie

Body Kits

Custom Body Kits Designed for Your Vehicle

Not all body kits are created equal. Poorly fitted kits can crack, sag, or cause long-term damage. That's why we focus on proper fitment, quality materials, and expert installation.

Our body kit services include:

  • Front and rear bumper upgrades
  • Side skirts and rocker panels
  • Spoilers and wings
  • Widebody kits
  • Lip kits and splitters
Modifications

Break Free From Factory Limits With Precision Body Modifications

Factory designs prioritize mass appeal, not individuality. Body modifications allow you to go beyond stock limitations and create something truly personal.

Our modification services include:

  • Fender flares and custom panel shaping
  • Hood vents and scoops
  • Panel smoothing and shaving
  • Custom exterior accents

Every modification is done with attention to detail to ensure durability and seamless integration. The result is a vehicle that looks intentional, not overdone.

The Area

All About Metairie, LA

Metairie is an unincorporated community located in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, on the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain between New Orleans and Kenner. As the largest community in Jefferson Parish, Metairie functions as a major suburban center in the Greater New Orleans metropolitan area. The area is known for its commercial corridors, residential neighborhoods, and proximity to both New Orleans and the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway.

The community has grown steadily since the post-World War II era when returning veterans and their families moved westward from New Orleans seeking larger homes and suburban amenities. Today, Metairie serves as a hub for retail, dining, professional services, and recreation in Southeast Louisiana.

Testimonials

What Our Customers Have To Say

I brought my Camaro in for custom paint and graphics, and I couldn't stop smiling when I saw it finished. The color depth and detail in the design came out even better than I pictured. People ask me about it everywhere I go now. The team really nailed the vision.

Tyler B. Camaro · Paint & Graphics

I decided to add a body kit and a few exterior modifications just to give my car a more aggressive look. The install was solid, and everything lines up perfectly. It looks factory, not thrown together.

Ashley M. Body Kit · Exterior Mods

I added a new audio system and custom lighting, and the setup is exactly what I was hoping for. Clean installation, no messy wires, and the sound quality is a huge upgrade. The lighting gives it that extra touch without being too flashy.
