Sorry but FG molds and Polyurethane molds are totally different. One is for manual or chop strand lamination, polyurethane are reaction injection molds, and are two sided. Just felt this needed to be clarified.

I never understood why some manufacturers do that. I agree that it's a very bad idea. that's why we only make parts in black or grey.

It will depend on the quality of the part.

Here's some very old pics of the FG sides when we test fitted them on my G, and a couple of more of the CF side skirts.

I really don't have any more FG pics, but the parts were flush, just not color matched.

Thanks I won't make that mistake again....^....! Members post go with F/G it's easier to fix....but if you buy poly you won't need to fix it! Something to think about....Gary

thanks for the info guys I'm leaning towards fg. I'm thinking the rear bumper doesnt take as much damage as the front or sides. Silencer_0 do you have fg sides or poly? if fg how do those hold up?
