Default what's the difference???

going back a couple of threads i posted that i wanted to get the ings lx sport body kit for my z. i found the kit at 350zmotorsports for $3000 then i saw it at 2visionracing for $2000 and finally i saw a replica for $1000.

my concern is the quality versus price...you get what you pay for. what is the difference between fiber glass, urethane, poly-urethane? then i found ingsusa and on the product page they say that the kit comes in fiber glass and hybrid aero material?

thanks ahead for the clarification.

Try this http://www.intensepower.com/inhanbokit35.html

Fiberglass is not very flexible and will definitely crack or chip if you hit something. Urethane is basicly just like your stock bumpers.

"You get what you pay for" is a good rule of thumb.

I LOVE the Ings+1 kit,; I bought a replica and had to return it because it was a piece of $hit!!!! Wound up getting a real Greddy kit. Lesson learned don't spend your hard earned cash on junk. Get the real thing baby!!!!
Just my 2c

Original kits = better fitting and better quality but costs more

Replica's = Cheaper price but Lots of work for the bodyshop to get it to fit right (the price you save on the replica is eaten up by labor costs in order to get it to fit right)...

Unless you own a bodyshop or have a friend who owns one the end cost will usally end up being the same....
