It's fiberglass, prepare for "Shatter-on-impact" qualities. The slightest thing hitting it will crack and destroy it. If you do buy something get Urethane, and not that fiber-flex or whatever it is.

+1, aftermarket fiberglass body parts are not a good idea. not only do they shatter like ryan said but most aftermarket companies, especially cheap ones like the one above dont do that great of a job of the fiberglass work and the parts are very very hard to prep...and make them actually look good that is.

Thanks, I didn't think about the shatter and breakage, was concerned about the quality it being that cheap.

Then why did you get a 2nd one? lol

Every kit that I've seen take a hit, even a little rubbing the curb, seems to spiderweb really bad, and it's not just the paint. I'm sure there are exceptions, but for the vast majority of the kits I've seen in person, they tend to be more trouble than they're worth.

Because I had a fun time with a deer one night, and I just changed it then. Its not the kit, its the owner of the vehicle. If the kit is cracked, scraped, etc, It just shows the owner doens't take very good care of his vehicle.
