RE: Stress Cracks on bodykit
You're going ot need to be a little more specific.. What body kit? What material? Is it fiberglass or urethane? Pascal might be able to help you, but I think your best bet is going to be to find a shop near you and speak with them about it.

You are going to have to be wayyyy more specific. Where are they located? are we talking 1 or 2 hair line problems or multiple major issues? Are they visible because you hunt for them or are they right in your face? Pictures would really help. The material of your kir will play a big part in the options for you. I have owned cars with kits ( more than no kits) over the last 20 years and I have yet to see one get "stress cracks" so I am interested in seeing your problem. Now if you are hitting curbs, speed bumps, parking blocks and dips in the roads and shopping centers then yes i would call that stressful.
We really need more info from you.......

RE: Stress Cracks on bodykit
On each side corner of the valance, there is a crack starting at the top going about 1 - 2 inches downward. The kit is a razzi kit, and is urethane. I don't really have much money to spend on taking it to a shop and getting it fixed, so I want to do it myself. I will post pictures later.

Razzi is already a joke by itself. It's bound to keep cracking at the stress points no matter what.
But yeah, pix would help.
