Hey, the kit is Urethane, and very reliable as it is not manaufactured by apc. And not subject to the low standards of their tailights for instance. As you can see at theyre website most of the apc kits are not manufactured by APC, most are made by kaminari, razzi, and others, and reboxed and sold by apc. As is the case with mY APC kit. Its of great quality, and needed very little work to be fitted to a car. However this kit was never painted or installed, just fitted and primed. Email me if you have any more questions. Thanks!
