#68099, "body kits"


          

I've been looking at body kits to use instead of stock with the insurance money from the accident that squished my eclipse. But I want to know if fiberglass kits are strong enough for daily driving, or if urethane is the only one to really consider for minimal upkeep? Also what are some good urethane kits that arent over-the-top?
Thanks
brent

the only urethane full kit is the blitz kit. the stillen and wings west front bumpers are also urethane. hope this helps.

Go with the Urethane Stillen front, and Urethane Blitz Sides and Rear. That setup looks pretty nice and should be able to handle a daily driver.

i wouldn't worry too much about the fiberglass kits....i drove around with my evo front and never had a problem. I'd hit it on my driveway all the time and it never cracked emoji
I say go for the buddy club 2 kit...it's the best looking kit out there for our cars!

Yeah I was juggling between the Buddy Club 2 front with either that kits sides or the aero dora sides or stockers and then get the stock rear bumper since I dont like any other one really. Stillen nose is in the pciture too. Is the buddy club 2 front much lower then stock, my area of Virginia has roads like you wouldnt believe. I have to rally out of my neighborhood because they cant finish 3 miles of road they are doing, been a good year and only got sidewalks completed so far lol!!! Thanks

The guy got the car fixed, but he's rolling around with different rims on the right side of the car. Also, the guy that fixed it for him couldn't match the paint, so the right side of the car has a bright yellow tint to it. Next time I see it, I'll try and get pics.
