Bomex or Wings West????

I really like the Bomex kit, it looks awesome to me. But its maid from fiberglass. I was told never to get fiberglass body kits cuz they will crack, is this true??? Would i be better off just goin with a Wings West avenger kit???? Thanks for your help

fiberglass is more sussecptable to cracking and breaking then urathane is, but as long as you dont bang it around to hard it'll stay intact and save alot of money over urathane, but you get what you pay for.

You'll be surprised how strong some fiberglass is ...

A friend of mine has a finberglass kit on his car. He's had it on for about 1.5 years now and there is no problem with it. Just take care of it and don't bang it around and it should be fine. but if I was in the market for a body kit and I had the money, I would probably get a urethane kit.

My friends bumper does have a small crack at the bottom because of a speedbump. Watch out for those!

bomex is really expensive. just like veilside.
both have to be shipped from japan so its really expensive. another is because its fiberglass.
there is advantages and disadvantage for both wingswest and bomex, also fiberglass and non-fiberglass
its really your choice

How about just a general rule of thumb: just be careful (I should have taken that advice several times)
