TurboGS300 Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Fiberglass cracks very easy, is not very flexible(hence cracks). Urethane is what the OEM is and it's by far the best material out there. Although, there is a new fiberglass mix that is very flexible. Almost no one uses it yet. <_< Also you need to be really careful on the body kits as sometimes they are not usually perfectly symmetrical( hence may require a bit of sanding or grinding to fit properly.

Neo Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 From the description, it says Wise style. I assume this is a Wise knock-off? Is the bumper fiberglass or FRP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
