dude...you pay for what you get...if you go cheap...it'll be cheap...fiber glass is the cheapest...but easiest to break...if someone hits you...hehehe...its done for...you cant really fix it...urethane is more durable...but cost more...from what ive heard...since they are something like a plastic...they contract and expand during different seasons...and can make your paint crack...or something...i just heard about it though...they mightve just had a cheap paint job...i dont know...just letting you know in case its true...hehehe...carbon fiber...is pretty expensive...especially a full body kit...HEHEHEHE...but well worth the investment...if your car is making money for you...if not...think twice...carbon fiber is lightweight and very durable...they use it on planes...

carbon fiber won't flex though, so when fitting it had better be perfect because if it isn't you can't bend it to fit

oh yeah dude...if you do get a carbon fiber kit...always ask them if it is hand layed...or if its just done with machines...the hand layed cf kits and parts are better...the machine layed ones can have some warping...hehehe...and like what Elchicoloco86 said...you cant bend it to fit...
