I need some opinions and advices. Help.

I am about to purchase Blitz front fiber glass. I heard that the fiber glass isn't all that great for daily driving. On the other hand, I heard that urethane is reliable for daily driving. Now, I am gonna pay $550 for front Blitz and Buddy club rear and they are both painted in silver already to match my car, prepped and fitted. Do you think it is a good deal? I need some help quick.

Thanks, Eugene.

Tell you the truth, i would jus try to find a poly urethane kit. Because its hard to fix a fiber glass kit if you crack it. Urethane is the same material as your stock bumpers... as i was told

eugene stay away from fiberglass...well the sides and rear really don't matter but make sure u don't get a fiber glass front...u will f*ck it up really quick. My buddy club didn't do so well after i got it and i learned my lesson from it.

Hay you might want to contact Isaac I think he is going to sell his Blitz Urethane front bumper... It is already painted red so if you have a red car its perfect. He just picked up the bumper from the shop took a few photos and took them off, he want to sell it because his work parking space is impossible to get in and out of with this bumper.

550 is a good price for prepped/painted/fitted... are you guys crazy???

the kit alone will run you 500+ then it's painted already... that's a good deal...

FYI... fiber glass is EASY to repair, compared to urethane... ask any body shop and REAL body shop <---F&F:wiggle:

550 is a good deal, it's a steal

Jotan,

I agree with you on price. It is not a full kit tho. Only front and rear. I dont know how easy it is to keep your fiberglass bodykit from cracking in Florida, but I know it is quite hard to keep that shiet in good shape in Kalifornia.

After talking to Jdm-style over the phone and hearing his experience, I am gonna stick to my original plan.... and yeah Redline made it clear... Wait for my urethane kit as my car is a daily driver and I really do not feel like having a fiberglass kit and have em get repaire every freakin month for cracks and rock chips.....

Thanks guys for your help.
