I really love the Bomex body kit for the Integra!! But, from what i hear, it is made from Fiberglass. And i heard never to get fiberglass because it can crack easily?? is this true?? are the bomex kits built well??? Does anybody know where i can get one cheap, the best ive sceen is like $1100!!! Thanks

 

for the price of bomex, i think its made of real good fiberglass.

 

I have a Bomex kit on my civic and it DOES crack very easily! I've cracked my side skirt and my front bumper cover in two spots!!!!

It's even worse when it's cold! Plus some girl backed into it and spidered the paint and the fiberglass in front of the head light.

I do love the way it looks though!

 

IMO....i think that thing sucks...keep it stock, keep it real

 

Stock or with a little lip is the way to go!

 

there are some SWEEET looking body kits out there. the urithane (SP) ones are going to be fine, and the fiberglass ones are fine also. Just get what YOU WANT....not what people in here say what you should do

 

I'd rather not have my car looking like EVERYONE elses car. It's called style, I got my own.... which just happens not to be the over played CF jdm front lip with 16 or 15 inch gunmetal rims.

to each his own.

 

I second that.... Why be like everyone else....

 

be different.

 

I had a A FULL Bomex DC, one if first in states. I love Bomex, best aero kit, thick hand laid fiberglass, of course fiberglass will crack, treat it with respect, without a doubt Bomex makes the best kits, Most aggressive, the only bad thing. When a pizza guy hits you at like 50 and throws you into another car, then the kit will become destroyed. I have the sideskirts, mirrors and wing for sale, all still perfect, let me know if your interested.

 

You sure your kit is real Bomex? I doubt it because with a kit costing that much i would think there wouldn't be such a big gap between the headlights and bumper.

 

I would hope it's real... considering I bought it directly from bomex. It was shipped to a local shop here and I picked it up in the box that had bomex on it, I paid bomex for it. The inside of the bumper has bomex stickers in the fiberglass too.

The bumper isn't screwed down in that pic either... it's just resting there. I just finished the new suspension and wanted to see what the lowest setting looked like with the bumper.

 

Bottom line is Fiberglass cracks. Get the kit if you like the way it looks, just don't be surprised if you accidently touch a curb and break the bottom of the front bumper.

 

But, I believe that Fiberglass is also the easyest to fix if it does crack or something goes wrong. Where as urathane your screwed if something goes wrong.

Correct me if im wrong, but i think i read this somewhere.

 

they both can be fixed using more fiberglass. However urethane can withstand a lot more pressure before parts start snapping. I can't count the time's my Type R lip has hit a curb, and yet the only thing ever damaged is the paint, even if it's a solid hit.

 

I think the BOMEX kits look FUGLY!

 

Yeah dogg, there are some much nicer kits out there for tegs.. I'd go with C-West kit for USDM front end... It looks a lot better.
