Body Kit Material - what's good and what's bad?

Hey guys,

So I'm looking to get a body kit soon - Stillen (or MT lips) seems to be the popular amongst everyone...are their material any good? What are the pros and cons of urethane vs. fiber glass vs. others?? I heard that some material cracks/chips easily, while others are not as bendable so it makes it a hassle to "bake" and install.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

well...i hear fiberglass sucks becaust it cracks easily....urathane is the way to go, its alot stronger...some people get their lips bent all wierd...but leave it in the sun for an hr or 2 then install it on your car and it will straighten itself out...then take off and paint

Fiberglass = terrible
ABS = good
Urethane = better
STOCK = BEST
