44199, poly vs fiberglass bodykits
Posted by Diceman19, Apr-03-03 06:08 AM
what does everybody have? i am looking at a figerglass kit by vis racing but i have been told by numerous people to only get polyurethane. the only problem with that is that the selection is not very good and i have yet to see a urethane bodykit that i would put on my car. TIA!

Urethane is an awesome material for a kit. It is flexable and witholds well from cracking. Only problem really is that if the piece you got is of poor fitment, then its a pain in the ass to fix it, if it doesn't bend to where you need it, you can't jus throw on some extra plastic like you can fiberglass. Fibler glass is good because it can be repaired fairly easily, and everyone and their mother makes glass kits. Bad part, they can break easily. I know that importfan.com boasts a fiberglass hybrid that can bend and twist n whatnot. It gives you the best of both worlds.

it depends what kind of weather you have too. urethane contracts and expands in extreme temps, so if it snows or whatnot where you live you can get expansion/contraction lines in the paint.

1998 Eclipse RS. Nothing great here.
Added the turbo wing and lowered it
down. More to come.
