Default Body Kitz

So I was looking for some feedback on any good suppliers in the gound effect world. I want something durable and with the newiest look. Im alittle concerned about the fiberglass kits, I see cars everywhere with cracks and chips however the urethane kits are difficult to paint ant impossible to mold. Im just trying to get the best look with the best preformance

Performance? Forget it.

Looks-wise? I think youd regret it. Thats kinda old bro.

Performance is not a factor here. 99% of the body kits (notice the spelling) are designed for looks, not drag reduction nor downforce.

If you're worried about chip and crack resistance, that's an issue of durability.
Which, if the car is a daily driver, obviously means urethane is the smart choice.

If you're adamant about molding in your kit, it sounds like you're building a carpet queen rather than a daily driver.

I agree with ToD above. Stick with urethane body parts for a daily driver, fiberglass if you're building a show car. What car is this for anyways? CRX, Civic hatch, Civic sedan?

By best performance he might have meant performance of the part itself. Meaning durability,fit,finish,ease of install. Just a thought.
