Im trying to figure out what I want to do about a bodykit, but im not sure if I want to get Urethane (only a few available), get Fiberglass (cracks easier, but have a bigger selection), or mix it up. I like almost every body kit available to us, so if YOU think one material is better than the other, let me know.

Before I put my fiberglass Blitz front bumper on, I got a gallon jug of the Bondo Fiberglass stuff and poured it all over the back side. Where the two points that come down by the ground are, I have probably four inches of fiberglass. I've nailed trashcans, snow banks, all types of shit and not a crack yet. But I hope that I dont jinx myself. Eclipse RS-T...The -T Stand for Non-Turbo!

Any car store, I got mine at Advance Auto Parts. Its in a blue metal jug. Just spread it over the backside of the bumper. In corners or sharp edges, like those crazy ass things on the bottom of the Blitz, put a lot in there. I think its called fiberglass resin or something. You can use any Bondo you want, reuglar bondo, lightweight, fiberglass, whatever.

Right now I have Blitz, but I want to switch over to a Black Widow front and keep the rest Blitz. I also want to custom make my own hood from a Black Widow for a Civic or Prelude or something. I know someone who did it with a Cougar and it look great, I would just have to find the right size.

I hate fiberglass. Its so weak. If I only had the money, I'd get a urethane front, like a Stillen. Just cracked my Sensei front recently really bad. O well, I guess I'll have to wait to have it fixed then.

i'm lucky (thanks to bambie) to have a second chance. yeah i voted for the urethane front, but i just don't like the look with my sides. only the rudora looked good with them and it's 600+ dollars. so i'm going with the stock front with lip. later

Why urathane? If you hit something you going to crack the paint and not the bumber. Fiberglass is a ton times easier to fix and to mold. Your going to have to paint the bumber both ways anyhows.
