Body Kit Quality
Here is the three types of material bodykits are made from. They are in order from cheapest and poorest quality to the more expensive and best quality.
1. Sprayed fiberglass: Extremely inexpensive, paint adheres well to fiberglass. It is most prone to imperfections but can be modified and customized. It handles ordinary everyday driven abuse poorly. 2. Hand layed fiberglass: More expensive, paint adheres well to it. Also the fitment is better. I still has small imperfections, but can be modified and customized, can easily handle everyday driven abuse and much more. [COLOR=orange-red]3. Poly Urethane: [/color] Most expensive, paint does not adhere well to surface, good fitment with little imperfections, modification is extremely difficult. Can possible sag and droop in time. Can handle high levels of abuse. Most of the replica kits on the market today are sprayed fiberglass. Thats why they are so inexpensive and usually have fitment problems.
