Well not a fan on the kit, because its to boxy for the curvy lines, but thats not your question.

IF I was you I would of gone with a good urethane front for the front. I have heard some bad stories of Ebay kits. Poor quality, thin fiberglass, a lot of work to fit. Stay away from curbs[sm=sigh.gif]

we just started putting the body kit on my cousins acura tonite and i gotta say, its hard to flex. His was kinda inexpensive...like 350, but its still hard as hell. I think fiberglass is the way to go. This past winter we did my other cousin's s-10 in fiberglass and it holds up very well and doesn't fall out of its spot. The only problem is if u hit something it cracks....but its easy to patch fiberglass, i always do it on my snowmobile.

fiberglass is a pain in the @ss to keep up. You have to watch out when you park to make sure you don't get too close to the kurb. When your on the highway you get tons of chips and knicks. When your pulling out of a steep downgrade it helps if you leave at an angle if you don't want to scrape. I would definitely put the side skirts on I couldn't imagine paying for them and not using them
