fiberglass vs urethane
I live in NY near the Bronx and I was checking out the octane fiberglass kit kuz it was like $300 cheaper than the urethane kit. I was jsut wondering if the urethane kit is better to get for the weather and road conditions around this city area where sht changes quickly.

I have a kaminari front lip for sale. I live In queens.. You'll be sorry if you get fiberglass. I drove into chinatown
I was thankful to have urethane. Fiberglass would been shot.

Rep Power: 0 i second the urethane. you pay extra, but your not in the repair shop crying because you pulled in or out of a driveway the wrong way, and cracked the kit. its costly to repair. fiberglass usually costs some extra to "fit" to your car since most of them never fix exact.

not like anyone is seriously racing in here. lol. j\k man, i'm a biased, urethane freak since i'm a city guy.
i'll be underdawg and say Fiberglass. I'm getting it and just DRIVE carefully. I mean, don't need to be driving fast when the car isn't fast right? Reenforce the fiberglass, and just know a good hookup that will help you fix it up if it happens to get cracked. Keep thee kit on for like a week or so and let the Fiberglass get the shape of the car. Then paint it. Fiberglass!!!!

Rep Power: 375 Fg isnt worth it youll end up painting again soon and its not only about how you drive unless your the only one on the road at all times rocks flying will cause that thing to chip like ****. Urethane and as far as the wieght problem its not that significant. When the fiberglass thing comes into play is when your talking about an entire chasis made up of it for wieght loss on massive Hp cars URETHANE
