Default LNR vs. C-Series?

What really distinguishes the Blow-By-Racing LNR bodykit against the Cervinis C-Series bodykit? I know Cervinis is poly-urethane, is LNR's fiberglass? Which one is better?

The LNR has much lower build quality. I think they also make a kit for the Smart Car (Eleanor kit). Cervinis has a track record for being extremely respectable by comparison. In fact they are one of the most respectable companies.

Cervinis is up there with Roush Saleen and Steeda, BBR is not.

I cannot speak to the quality of the Blow-By-Racing kit, the only real difference I know of is the design. Blow-By's kit is a bit more rounded and to me dose not fit the body lines of the car as well.

I always thought the look of Cervinis was smoother and more to my tastes.....and the polyurethane is a major advantage. The hood is fiberglass with the Cervinis parts, but everything else is made of polyurethane. This gives you a little more peace-of-mind as it is much more forgiving and able to withstand small bumps and scrapes much more so than the fiberglass.

Don't be afraid of Cervini parts...they really are very good quality.

I have no experience with the BBR kit, but I will say that the Cervini's kit is good quality and they've given me good customer service. It also flows with the S197 lines better. The BBR/Ronaele kit, while looks more like the GT-500E, doesn't flow with the sharp lines of the S197. It's too rounded.

I can't speak for the BBR kit, but owning a C-Series kit I can say that the fit is what makes the difference! People are always commenting on my Stang saying that the body kit looks stock, and where could they purchase it...making me smile all the way home!

I have the full Cervini C on my car, bought it that way used but I have the original sticker ($52,000) from the Ford Dealer where it was a Dealer purchased Eleanor add-on conversion. Don't know who did the actual work. The nose has hit the pavement more times than I can count even being as carefull as I am but turning down roads with a slight dip will bump it everytime. Knock on wood, just scratches on the bottom of my side skirts and nose but it has never cracked or broken. I live rural and caught a bump in the road under my side skirt on a slow turn that pulled the bracket loose, but again, never broke the skirt. My vote is that Cervini is tough and well built, 14,000 miles of rural roads and highway. Scratched and chips... all holding up well.
