FRP(Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) is the worst material to work with. It does NOTHING you want it to do. Looks good, but I would HATE to try to install it. Its almost as bad as CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic).

Yes horrible stuff to work with. When they make the kits the manufacturer tends to stack the boxes and not let them cool so they warp. If it doesn't fit then you'll be doing alot of cutting, bondo and molding. I've seen kits come out 5 inches too wide and people have to cut them in half and rejoin the stupid things back together. If you do plan on getting it though I hope you get a good one that fits well because body work is very difficult if you don't have the experience. I know, I learned the hard way.-Alex
