Nismo Kit Material?

Is it Fiberglass or Poly-urethane? I tried looking around but most of the places that sell it don't mention it anywhere on their site.

The real nismo kit is poly, the knock off that you can find on ebay is fiberglass.

I think the correct terminology is FPR Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic, so it should be betterthan the knockoff's in durability.

Hm... anyone know for sure?

I'm debating whether or not to order the replica or spring for the real deal. I'm sure as hell not paying 1500 more if the only difference is the "Nismo" brand name...

their "reinforced plastic" is resin.

same as fiberglass as far as "hitting the same curb" as the replica kit

the nismo kit is NOT poly.
