i thought a carbon fiber kit would be strong and light but expensive?

CF is very strong, and pretty light, but it is usually very brittle when in bumper form...it would be alright if it was reinforced...CF is usually not very flexible either...now granted, there most likely is a process that would make the CF more suited for a body kit application...but usually, your best bet is flexible fiberglass or urethane...

someone please correct me if im wrong...

is urethane better then fiberglass?

95_240SXSE

it depends on the quality of the materials and it depends on the company...as long as u stick with a good company, either will be ok...

dope thanks for the info

no problem...

as a side note...generally urethane is more durable than fiberglass...but it is not always that way...for instance, www.jdmaero.com claims that their fiberglass kits are more flexible/durable than urethane...other ppl swear by urethane, i think that either way u are in good shape...as long as it is good quality...
