RE: Next Stop Body Kit, Your thoughts...
 
^ nah... I thought poly kits came in black? I know the lips do...

and the Bomex kit's a little too aggressive for my tastes... I love the Buddy Club 2 kits (and the R34 front bumper... but then again, I used to have an R34 kit, so I might be a little biased). And fiberglass does just fine as long as you're decently careful with it. I scraped my sideskirts all the time (actually, they're the same ones on my car now), and there's only one crack in them (and I did that last night on a pothole lol). If you get a fiberglass kit, I'd recommend doing what I did: go to Wal-Mart/Home Depot/Lowe's and buy some spray-on expanding foam insulation (it's meant for around doors and windows in homes) and fill up the inside of your bumpers/side skirts with it (be careful, since it expands... if you spray too much on, it can crack the fiberglass). Because of the foam, my front bumper survived meeting a snowbank sideways at 25 mph with only a few small cracks to show for it lol

I checked with Buddy Club and they do not make a kit that will fit my 05. :(

just throwing me opinion in here (even if its been stated before) but that fiberglass kit is crap (I had one and the fitment was okay, but it was SO fragile), so for less than $400, the kit i imagine isnt gonna fit well. If youre gonna do it, do it once and do it right, meaning a nice Poly kit. I like the look of the kit though, just the quality wont be good.

Thanks for all the honest opinions guys. As I said I have never had a car where I have considered looking into a body kit so I had no idea what I should be looking for. Now I pretty much know thanks to you guys. Does anyone have any site links for poly kits? I have found a million sites but they all seem to be fiberglass. Also are there any good sites for lip kits?

Thanks again fellas!
