    Question Fiberglass or poly-urethane body kit?

    i was told not to get a fiberglass body kit because they get stress cracks very easily during everyday driving. instead i was told to get a poly-urethane body kit, because they are more durable. Is that true, and if so, anyone know where to get a ploy-urethane kit.

    Yes, Fiberglass is like......lets say a cracker, you cannot bend it....Poly-Urethane is like cheeze, you can bend it to a sertain degree without damaging it. Its a hell of alot more durable, and a place for poly urethane kits, you will have to look around, go to the links area of www.TunningConcept.com and look around.

    Yes to my knowledge that is correct. I wanted a erebuni front bumper but its not worth it and the front is the most prone to be damaged. I have seen a bunch of cars missing good size chunks of their fiberglass bumpers...Xenon is urethane and possibly the Kamanari?
