Which kind of body kit is better for Seattle? Urathane or Fiberglass? I like the ninja but I live in a kind of hilly area and want to lower my car probably 1.5 so I dunno what to do.

Hmmmmm..... I would go urethane just to be on the safe side, but I don't know how hilly your area is.

Downtown seattle in certain areas reminds me of some sort of mini San Francisco.

Then I'd definitely go with urethane... the ninja kit is almost like a 4th gen with a Stillen lip, so you'll be scratching and scraping left and right. How do I know? Because Jane had Eibach's/Tokico's plus the Stillen lip.

and... Is there a more stylish urathane design? I THINK THE STILLEN KIT IS WAY TOO BORING. I want a "purty" kit.

From my current experiences with the fiberglass ninja kit, I would definitely go for urethane for the material. Urethane being elastic helps absorb impact while fiberglass will crack under strong impact. In my opinion the ninja kit stands out from the crowd than others, but if I had to do it all over again, I'd probably go with the Stillen urethane. I rather not stress over minimal impacts cracking the bottom of my bumper more than it already has.
