Ok, let's say Rieger is ABS plastics...ABS is still better than fiberglass.

I watched a mechanic put a Rieger Body kit on an Audi...no fitment issues, no BS that comes with Fiberglass, it just popped right on. According to the last thread even the bulletproof stuff does have some "fitment issues" and requires it to be played around with.

The conclusion I am coming to, we throw around the word rice so much on the forum...that the reality and the realization I'm coming to is all this *** Stuff is rice.
Even the "High end stuff", ffiberglass?? Can't they do better than that, especially at those prices?

urethane sagging over time? I don't see my 11 year old accord with the OEM urethane bumpers sag.

I've had aftermarket urethane bumpers before and i've hit a lot of things including curbs that completely bent the lip. It just bounced back in place.. The paint was obviously scratched but was not chipping off because FLEX AGENTS were added prior to painting. Therefore the paint flexed very well with Urethane.

If you were to perform a durability test and have both bumpers materials hit a wall at 5mph i'm sure urethane will not crack like fiberglass. It'll just mar the paint.

Weight? my g35 oem front bumper weights a LOT less than my authentic greddy bumper.

i just wanted to let you guys in on few little secrets.

-german cars are better
-all high end german tuner's kits are NOT urethane (some are fibreglass)
-you should shouldnt confuse FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) with fibreglass
-there are diff level quality of fibreglass
-the issues with fitment have NOTHING to do with the material - rather the amount of engineering that went into designing and *producing* the piece

most FRP kits are rice.

i'll never buy a german car again...i've owned both mercedes and vw's...japanese cars are more reliable and the parts are much cheaper.

The Kenstyle kit is exellent quality.I pre fitted the kit myself before paint, and not a single problem.It fit perfect.No modifications were needed at all,every oem hole was there in perfect placement.The material quality is great,it is very thick,not cheaply made.If you want something good, sometimes you just have to wait for it.

That will work but the reciept can only be in one person's name. If you can organize it, I will work with you on it.

Yes, shoot me a pic of your car and a scan of your reciept and you can order the exhaust at this price.
