Ugh how gay is that?!?! I REALLY wanted to get this kit and I even considered dishin out $3000+ for it. I've done numerous searches here on CL but I still havent been able to find NON fiberglass kits. Can anyone help me and tell me which kits are NON fiberglass. If I spend $3000+ for a kit I want a kit that wont crack and is similar to OEM quality. BTW I dont want to spend more than $3500 for a kit. So no JP kit for me Any clean looking NON fiberglass kit will suffice. Thanks.

Tsunami and Xenon are both urethane kits. If you brake urethane chances are that you will not be able to fix it, fiberglass can be fixed.

Hey Lord, since you know more about body kits than I do... do you think I should just take the risk and go with the Evolution fiberglass one? How much would the average repair cost on it?

The fiberglass you get from Japan is much more thicker and sturdier than anything you will find in the states made from fiberglass. Dont know how much it will cost since I have never cracked a bumper before.

Hmm thanks. Now I am confused about getting the Vizage or the Evolution yet again. I'm just going to have to do a poll in the car chat area to find out what other CL members think. My main concern is I dont want ppl callin my car UGLY if I get the Vizage.

Its because of the poly urethane that Im considering Vizage once again. Theyre both great kits. So hard to pick just one..

I love Utherane. I have had my kit for a few years on a daily driven car and if it was fiberglass I would be constantly missing my front end. Fiberglass is good for cars that are not daily driven or that are not lowered much.
