Stillen kit is $475 shipped from SWA (and maybe other places). That's the cheapest (and best IMHO) kit I know of.

in my experience with body kits, stay away from fiberglass.

THe FRP and urethane kits last the longest and are hard to break. There is also flexible fiberglass which i have heard good things about. IT is relatively new.

Fiberglass is easily repaired.

Urethaneflaps in the wind, and once it cracks it's not repairable.

YEAH BOY
I see we have another maxi near atlanta.

urethane is fixable. and is more flexible than fiberglass. if you scrape say a speed bump, the fiberglass cracks and breaks, the urethane bends....hmm not sure why urethane is used more than fiberglass if fiberglass is better??

Hosntly I know very little about body kits and such, but from what I have read its all a matter of oppinion which is better, and as far as what would be easyer to repair all depends on your5 expereince and what you know how to do

If you drive a low kittd max, YOU WILL scrape real had and very likely hit a tire thread on the highway. From my experiance. An aligment guy drove my max RIGHT into the lift without blocking it first. Cracked my lip real bad, but was repaired and still looks great. Craig hit a tire thread with a stillen urethance lip and shattered it. No repair was doable... So now he doesn't have a lip anymore.

look at the price, urethane cost more. All I heard is, most of the time the things that costs the most are more realible, last longer, better quality.

You are wrong...Craig didnt "shatter" the lip and I am not sure who told you his kit was not repairable but it is and will be repaired. I am just too busy to do it right now.

Urethane is repairable depending on where the break is and how much stress is put on it...there are plenty of flexible repair kits for them.

I am not saying urethane is better just that it can be repaired...not to the extent that fiberglass can be but it can be repaired.

Also my kit didnt flop in the wind

besides the Stillen kit just looks better than the boxy hard to find WW kit lol.

The thing is urethane might be harder to fix, but it will take a whole lot more abuse than fiberglass will before breaking/cracking etc....
