Urethane Body kit

Wassup Guys,
I just bought a complete octane body kit for my 02 and i just got it. I just have a question for the peeps that know a lot about urethane. Is it suppose to be really flimsy? I lifted it up its almost like rubber....

thx

You'll notice it feels alot like the stock front bumper when you take it off, its light and flimsy.

Urethane is flexible, and very easy to work with when it comes to painting and detailing. It can be wet sanded and painted very easily and efficiently. And compared to fiberglass, you can hit curbs, animals, whatever is out there without cracking your kit. Urethane is guaranteed to last a lifetime, with no cracks or dents. Nothing.

You will be glad you invested in a quality kit.

How deep? Does it go all the way through? It can be fixed really without a problem depending on the size.
