Default Body Kit from Mr. Body Kit, opinions?

I was looking at buying one of those Cobra R front bumpers for my car and was wondering if this was a good price and which is better: urethane or fiberglass?

Thanks

please go with urethane if your going to do something like that.. fiberglass will break so easily.. and it will cost more in the long run because of all the cracks you will end up having to fix..

and you know there is a place called Ford Mustang and Trucks Auto Parts Manufacturer Expert: Hoods, Wings, Ground Effect Kits, Lights, Styling Bars and Much More that is in our area right? just sayin so you wont have to do the whole shipping thing

Urethane FTW.

Fiberglass isn't AS bad as people make it out to be, but you can throw a urethane bumper off your 2story balcony and it'll survive.

Some of my ricer friends have fiberglass panels. They look just as good but don't last as long. If you bottom out on a speedbump or hit a curb with the urathane it will bend and you might scratch your paint. If you do the same with fiberglass you could break the part or at least have a huge crack in it. Save up the money and get the urathane. I have been looking at body kits also, if I get one I will deffinately get the urathane.

i would be careful with mr. bodykit, there quality is either hit or miss

and you do realize the cobra r front end sits very very low, i advise stying away from speedbumps, or looking at the 99-02 bobra bumper(looks like cobra r, but no spliter) or the 03-04 termi bumper


but thats just me
