Rep Power: 559 kit looks ok. get rid of the pinstripes and the chrome washer nozzles. and dont put that front on until you have some side skirts and a rear lip/bumper. having that on the front and nothing on the rest of the body is gonna look dumb, plus gonna cost more to install and paint it all separately.

Rep Power: 349 the bomex kit looks good on the 01-03s - not sure about the 04+. its prolly warped and is going to require lots and lots of fiberglass to get it to mold...good luck.

Rep Power: 326 If its urethane (which I doubt) than you wouldnt really have to worry about flex since it would flex back. But if its fiberglass, good luck with that.

Rep Power: 289 urethane owns, i have a urethane tsunami and i do lots of highway driving, 5 days a week to be exact there and back, like an hour on the highway and man do bugs and debris suck ***. they will mess that front bumper up real quick. i got it painted a few monthes ago and its startign to not be perfect. i had dead buggies. oh well. its fine now tho. if it was fiberglass, i dunno if it would be ok now. i hate bug who hit it and just stick in the urethane haha.
