Fiberglass or Urethane [Merged 7-9] polyurethane poly

[mocfive]

Urethane kits might cost more but they are definately worth the extra cost. If anything, I would deffinately suggest the polyurethane front bumper and side skirts. Rear bump material Isn't important since I shouldn't scrape.

Fiber is not really a good thing for body kits, youl break it and you won evne know it, You think youll be drviing around cautiously not gonna break it then boom an chick ran a shopping cart into your bumper and cracked it, its ruined, Urathane will not do that it is worth it alot more to get urathane body kits IMHO

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

Urethane all the way.

has anyone ever had a problem putting a urethane kit on thier like it didnt fit right, becuz i know ta least with fibre glass you can mold it a bit! Just curios, thanks!

2boosted: you have it 'round the wrong way. Urethane/polyurethane parts are flexible while fiberglass is rigid.

I have seen several kids around here that have shattered body kits. The cold weather and crap body kits give them short lifespans... in terms of being bumped and such.

Urethane the only way to fly

keep the stock, you won't have a problem

if you can get urathane do it. but some kits you just don't have a choice which sucks

 

[eclipserst]

Urethane is the way to go

That is actually one of the only concerns I would have with urethane, that and the fact that if you happen to tear it, you need a whole new bumper...unlike fiberglass. Most any kit (urethane or fiberglass) is not going to fit EXACTLY. Fiberglass is very easy to heat up and bend into shape, while urethane is much less "shapeable" (sp?). Side skirts, especially, usually do not fit too well. I helped put a urethane Xenon kit on a friend's Probe and we ended having to mold it to the car just because it fit so badly. If you decide to go urethane, defintley question the quality of the kit. Otherwise I would say stick with the OEM look....MUCH less headaches, trust me.

one word, URETHANE!

 

[2boosted]

I always though it was easier to mold fibreglass if it didn't fit right, oh well, thanks for the help everyone. One more quick question, has anyone ever had any urethane kit not fit right on their dsm?

 

[DSMTurbos]

it is much easier to mold and shape fiberglass

URATHANE

I love it.

It was a little tricky to shape but I will not change it for anything/

[2boosted]

[jokerman]

Hey everyone! I was wanting to get some info from everyone on what type of body kit you would recommend, Urethane or Fiberglass? If any? Thanks!

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

Urethane.

 

[dave99gst]

if you can afford it Urethane - tis basicly what your stock stuff is -- it dont crack NEARLY as easy as fiberglass-- easyer to make a shi*y kit fit because it will give some

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

Well with the cost of having buy multiple fiberglass bumpers or the cost to keep repairing the cracked fiberglass bumper you may as well get the urethane.

I would defiantely recommend urethane!! urethane has much more flex to it and that fiberglass crap just cracks and busts on you all the time.. my friend had a fiberglass kit and he was pulling slowly into a parking spot with a curb and he barely tapped it and it snapped right in the middle.. then the 2 peices fell on the ground.. he just ripped it off and put it in his trunk he was so mad.. ..actually he didnt rip it.. he kinda bent it then it snapped off for him but it was sick.. hope this helps
