plus you got to paint the urethane kits right or they peel... i had a type w kit and it started to peel so I got a BW kit... harder to drive with but the paint does not peel.. when i had the urethane kit i had the painter make sure to follow all the directions on using a water based primer and flexor but it still peeled.

somehow, my cousin did a really really good Job, I've been having it on my ride for 1.5 yr. It never peels, only cracks where the mounting of the lip + the Bumper is. We never hade any instruction when bought the kit
