Exclamation ings n spec body kit (replica)

i know a few people on this site have the kit installed on their car....do you guys have any problem on how thin the fiberglass is? does it chip/crack easily while driving? i just bought the kit and im kinda worried about the quality of the fiberglass, but i guess thats what you get when you buy a replica

i have the rear and it's ok.. had a small crack on the passenger side cause the kit was too tight. have some gaps from the both sides also and you need to do some trimming as well. as far sa the fiberglass is concerned I don't think that it's too thin..

i bought the kit from glenn...its new and i took it of of the wrapping and it needs some tlc...there are a few cracks but not too serious, im goin to repair them myself and then prolly prep it for paint next weekend, then have it painted that week then ill do the install myself...as far as bracing, Glenn said to brace it, especially the front bumper, is that really needed?

thanks

dont know about the front since I just have the rear on mine.. I did mine myself also. didn't brace it i just use 3 self tapping screws on each side. you might need to prefit the kit first before doing any prep..
