hey guys i found this site Asylum Motorsports and the kit i had in mind was the 2nd one down, its the JDM Type R kit, my questions are 1) is this a good site to order from? 2)what is the kit made from(neo-flex???) and 3) is it real or imitation crap that shouldn't be purchased?

any info is appreciated...

I have heard they are not a good place to deal with, but you can take your chances. As well I thought there was a thread in the Marketplace forum with that kit for sale.

from what i've heard, ASYLUMs is a horrible place to order from, but thats only what i heard. secondly, that TYPE R Kit is only an OEM BODY KIT... so u can order it from pretty much anywhere, including HONDA.

The Type R front bumper looks very thin.. thinner than the usual OEM.. don't ya think?

That is not the JDM Body kit. It's the OEM kit. In fact, the picture they have is the DC Sports civic and they say that is the OEM kit. The JDM kit, which I am looking for cheap, is slightly different in that the front lip goes all the way across and extends the air dam a bit. I have seen pictures of it on civics in Canada, the Phillipines and Japan, but not here. In any case, it really makes a dramatically different look.

Although it may look like the OEM there is a distinction.. the OEM wraps up more onto the bumper.. (look at the outline)
whereas teh "TYPE R" looks more like a lower lip... this was on the DC car i think that was featured in Hondatuning....

this "TYPE R" is NeoFlex... it's not fibreglass and doesn't crack.. i think its harder than urethane

This is true. They also have the OEM kit, but the JDM kit is slightly different and much less.

can someone explain why Poly Urethane is bad ans abs plastic is better? and how about fiber glass?

how soft is Poly Urethane? and what is the material of OEM bumper?

can someone classify material from best to worst?

thanks a lot!!

1-urethane- most flexable, least likely to crack, and can take the and absorb most impacts and bumps
2-ABS- Flexable, but only to a certain point, generally more brittle than urethane, but far more durable and flexable than any fiberglass, (some companies also make ABS/urethane blends which alow some part regidity, with some added flex properties)
3-fiberglass- Cheap to manufacture, often mush be preped or fitted extensively. least forgiving inm bumps or impact. also spidering can occur from rock chips and ruin paint finishes.
