Hi guys, I am thinking of getting a urethane kit for my car, but not sure which one is good. I am thinking of between R33 or Black Widow, what do u guys think?
I thought about T2001, but too many ppl has them
TIA

hold on, did you just say too many people have the t2001 kit? that's like, a joke, right? If you meant many people have the front bumper, I'll agree with you. However, hardly anyone has the full kit. As for the urethane kits you mentioned, I give you my two cents: the r33 kit, imho, is played out to all hell! the BW kit isn't as much. I don't like how the BW kit looks on any color car but red. Anyway, it's my understanding that there are more kits out there that you should look through. Look around more.

yea, too many ppl have the t2001 front, that's what i meant.
do you have any suggestion on any other good urethane kit?

Edit: i looked around the web, but couldn't find many urethane kit, mostly just fg. and I am not intersted in getting a lip kit.

thanks

urethane is the way I went just for the flexability of the kit. Make sure extra flex is used in painting the urethane. Its biggest problem is the paint separating from the urethane and when you wash it (high pressure) it will peal off right before your eyes.

what u mean by "extra flex is used in painting"?

Body shops apply a flex agent to paint to allow it to bend under pressure. This decreases the chance of it separating from its base structure (ie. urethane body kit). Without adequate amount your paint would separate and bubbles would appear and look like crap

flex additive... its whats used when ur bumpers are painted... it allows the paint to bend.. on sufaces like ura and abs plastic so that it wont Crack off like on fiberglass... this helps for when rocks hit the bumper and minor fender benders and when washing .. the paint will actually flex alil instead of crackin and peeling..

I have Kaminari front lip and rear bump with Xenon sides (see pics)
They are both perfect fits and the Kaminari kit is extremely tight fitting

the octane front is pretty nice although a lot of people have that also. pretty much at this stage of the game whatever you decide on will have been "played" out by a number of people. like i'm sure there are other people out there with a tsunami front octane side kaminari rear set up like i do. can't always be the first or the only to have something. especially if it looks nice cuz sooner or later someone else will think of it.

well, do you guys think the r33 or the blackwidow front looks better?

black widow is more aggressive looking. so if you're going for aggressive then go bw but if you want a clean look then r33 is good.
