Default Body kits and accessory

Hey,
Does anybody know where I can find a urathan body kit for my '98 Sc300 in the United state? It is very hard to go online and try to find it because it take me to a lot of wrong site. Post as much site or place as possible. I want to find the best kit for my car. Thank

Tought luck, dude.
All the bodykits that are readily available to us are made in Fiberglass. In fact, I don't know of a single kit that is made of urethene.

There are ways of reinforcing fiberglass stronger than poly. You can fabricate skidplates from the undercarriage or build up the fiberglass from the back. I've seen reinforced fiberglass front-ends take gnarly hits and survive visually unscathed. Granted poly kits flex more, they can still crack, I've seen it.
