Fiberglass sides are just fine assuming you know how to drive a lowered car.

^^^+1

If you know how to drive a lowered car...fiberglass sides are fine

Just be careful with driving it up onto a rack or something...already cracked mine trying to get an alignment. Oh well, time for some new Poly sideskirts

Fiber is perfectly fine for sides, and in reality most people aren't low enough to really have to worry about it. Also, this is just my opinion, but painted fiber overall looks better to me than painted poly when it comes to aftermarket.

^It just seems to me that for some reason the overall quality of paint/finish/color match tends to look better. That's all. Like i said it's a matter of opinion and just something i've noticed, maybe my eyes are playing tricks though!!!
