How are your driving habits?
I find alot of the "American" kits lower then the euro kits. If you plan on lowering and such that could cause a problem. Some ppl run into probs some ppl dont.
I would stick with a urethane kit (stock euro, wings west, xenon to i think) or an ABS Plastic (Reiger) becuase the quality is a lot better where as a fiberglass is not.
I find the urethane and abs kits much easier to fit to. I have yet to see a glass kit to fit 100% the first time and always require some modification. Im assuming your not driving your car in the winter if you have a kit BUT if you are (many ppl do for some reason) the fiberglass can become very delocate when in freezing tempatures. I seen a guy just nugg up a tad to close to a curb and the kit seriously just snapped like a twig. Maybe he got alemon lol but ya. Either way you go body kits and winter dont mix LOL
There are some companies out there like BuddyClub2, VIS that do make a better qaulity fiberglass kit. I dunno this is just on experience and freinds experience. Its becuase the one is hand laid where as the other is not. Correct me if im wrong on that.
Ppl also say urtehane is harder to paint LOL Take it to the dealor to get it painted and you will be fine. They paint stock urethane bumpers all the time.
A good experice I had was with my kit. Leaving my dads work going down the exit ramp. Was not paying attn and I seriusly dove nose first into the ground. All i got was a tiny scratch. Im sure if that was a fiberglass kit it would of ben worse.
