Looks nice. can't decide if it's "betteR" than the stillen bodykit...

I don't really wanna get rid of my fogs...

[theoctopussi]

its been out for a while... hasn't it?

[adidas2go]

This has been out, and been discussed on this forum, for many many months now. I would suggest first searching for the parts you pronounce as new on NICO, to make sure they really are new

[chow]

Wtf.. They look exactly like the stillen one... except for the fact that the bumper is round and fat.

Why didnt they take the time to paint the thing before posting it?

[LongBeachCoupe]

this is not new... by any means... and its made out of crappy materials... not "better" by ANY means.. it is merely an alternitive...

[GryStrm]

um...still dosnt address the sore thumb on here...the grille...and imho..stillen kicks its butt! its nose heavy...like the idea of rear skirts tho...

[TheBourneAltimatum]

its not new and its made from fibre glass....the fact that its made of fibre glass alone means it ****tier than other bodykits

I like the sideskirts on the finished product... but I will NEVER put another fiberglass body kit on my car ever again... no matter what a manufacturer says, fiberglass bodykits are NEVER perfect, and when you stress them to make them fit, they form spiderweb cracks.. and when these are painted, they show up horribly!!!

[johnny_d]

most of them don't take pictures of the painted kit because they want u to see which pieces you're getting

Urethane isn't a gift from god either. Although it's a better fit, painting that bastard is an ordeal on its own.

Many paint shops seem to be retarded when it comes to urethane. They either don't properly prep it, don't use primer, or use terrible paint. Then end result is a crappy, chipping piece. AND they charge a sh*tload for it...

So I guess both fiberglass and urethane have their strengths and weaknesses...

However, were not talking about how hard it is to paint them. We are talking about the actual product build itself. BTW- Just because some paint shops are "retarded", doesn't mean urethane is hard to paint. My paint shop took 2 days and its held up immaculately. Many paint shops turned me down before I found mine, because they have had so many problems with painting fiberglass kits also.

I think he mentioned painting becuase I talked about painting over spider cracks in the fiberglass..

But as Blake said, finding a good paint shop is one thing, but no matter how good the paint shop is, chipped or spider cracked fiberglass is a b.i.t.c.h. Again, many of the problems come from the imperfect build of the fiberglass kit in the first place...and then the stress added when trying to get it to fit properly... not to mention the cracking and braking that occurs when you accidentally scrape a curb. In regards to nicks and scrapes, it's much easier to sand down and re paint urethane than it is to re-fiberglass a chipped fiberglass bumper...

No matter how bad urethane could be, it will never be as problematic as fiberglass!
