hey i was wondering whats the difference between an ABS plastic front lip compared to body kits made from the other materials? Is it just cheap? what are the pros/cons? can it be painted? thanks!

 

ABS plastic is the same as your OEM front and rear bumper and side skirts. Its light and flexible.

Most lips are polyurethane. It is not as light because they are usually thicker than the OEM lip, but it is flexible as well.

I don't think I've seen a fiberglass lip for a G35 but I haven't really looked for one. Fiberglass is hard and more "fragile" (for lack of a better word) compared to Polyurethane or ABS Plastic. A lot of aftermarket body kits are made from fiberglass because 1) it is easier to make using fiberglass and 2) it holds its shape better and won't deform in the summer heat like polyurethane. The biggest con of fiberglass is that if you scrape it on the ground real hard, you can crack it.

 

ic ic , thanks for clearing everything up for me!
