wassup peepz!
1st off id just like to say "wassup" to all ya'll protege owners out there. i research the net everyday looking for every lil tid bit of info on my p5 and this sites always the place to be.
Anywayz bak to the thread. Rite now i have a stock exterior p5 and im lookin to do some changes. Im lookin for a GOOD body kit and not a lip but it needs to be something that'll last and wont break or crack easily cuz its gonna be my daily driver Im lookin at Wings West cuz their kits are made of urethane(something OEM bumpers are made frum) so i know its gonna be durable and will last. But i like JDM kits better cuz of their looks. The only thing bad bout, say a Mint blue kit, is that its made of fiberglass. Though JDM kits are FRP( "F"iberglass "R"einforced "P"lastic) and its a little more durable than American fiberglass kits, fiberglass is still fiberglass nonetheless.
So whut should i do?? Go urethane or FRP(fiberglass reinforced plastic)???
**Another question on the subject: How strong is FRP really?? Will it crack if i hit a dip or break even easier? Is there a difference between American fiberglass kits and FRP kits? Is it stonger than urathene maybe??(speak up Autoexe or Mint blue kit owners please)
Thanks everyone~!!!
