Poly Urethane Body Kits
.... I know RMM makes one... (too mild for me)
Vizage makes one... ( not very appealing...)
then there the the TTE LIP and the greddy lip.. (again .. too simple)
Fiber glass kits are a PAIN in the BUTT ..... sometimes wavy or what not... and when u hit sumthing with it... it cracks.. i think im done with fiber glass....
any other company that makes urethane kits??

How about FRP bodykits??I know a few members that have kits like this and they have hit things on the road and their kits didn't crack , only the paint chipped..And for those that don't know, FRP=Fiberglass/reinforced/plastic..

LOL, it will also weigh a ton. I saw a kit before that was made with such a thick fiberglass and I couldn't lift the front bumper and I work out A LOT.

CamRen,
you got it all wrong bro! For starters, if you buy high quality, real JDM kits, you do not have the issues that you have with the BS knock offs. I have owned real WIN kits, about 4 Veilside kits, and a Blitz kit......no issues at all with them. They fit like a glove and did not have waves in them.....matter of fact, they didnt need much prep work at all. The real kits dont crack nearly as easy as the BS kits either....can they crack, yes.....but it takes som effort to do so.
Also, if you crack a fiberglass kit, it is EASILY fixable.....at a minimal cost. If you crack a poly kit, which you can do also by the way, it is still fixable if its not too bad off.....just not as easily and not as cheap to fix. If you buy a poly kit and it does not fit perfect.........what do you do to make it fit????? Try heating it up, stretching it into place, etc, etc,etc.....all of which might not work. If you buy a fiberglass kit adn it doesnt fit, which should not be the case with a good kit, it is easy to add and take away glass to make it fit perfect....
Just my opinion

i agree with jeff, repairing fg kits aren' hard, and it's always doable at a reasonable cost. however, repairing or fixing the urethene kit, that's always a pita, it's never easy and for the same amount of damage, it's almost always that the urethene kit will cost more

Real JDM FRP kits are excellent fitment.
