im looking to get a Type R body kit for my type S but most of the kits i'v found are fiberglass, i'v found one thats carbon fiber but thats like 900 bux
is urethan really worth the money over the fiberglass, especially when its only the front and rear lips and side skirts?

 

Urathane will flex, where fiberglass won't. Thats where the tradeoff is.

If your cars not subjected to harsh road conditions, fiberglass should be adequate.

Hope that helps

Paint shouldn't be a problem at all for both if you use good materials.

Urethane will give you better fitment, and flexibility...

Yeah, the paint sticking either surfaces won't matter.

But say your going 60mph and rock hits your bumper, fiberglass will more than likely crack or show a spider-web like crack where urethane, the worst is a paint chip down to bare.
