Default Need some suggestions on a urathane (plastic) only body kit

I am sick of breaking fiberglass and FRP body kits, wheath it bo on the track or on the street (very low street car)

I need a suggestion (with pics if you got them) of some non-fiberglass body kits, or at the very least front bumpers. I also swear I had seen a generic copy of the C-West front end that was made of urathane.

Anyways, thanks for any help............

The new NISMO Z front facia and side skirts are urethane and perfect fitment is assured.

If the rear didnt look like a shelf you could sit on then it'd be nice. Prolly a bit pricey too. Get the one from nissan, the 30k dollar kit lol.

and some like strawberries.......

Ings makes there LX kit in Hybrid.

I can't think of too many authentic kits that are in a hybrid or urethane form.

Veilside lip comes in Urethane.

Most of the flexible bodykits are replicas so....

goodluck with your searches!

aerosync N1

its the urethane version of the NISMO V1 with a shaved emblem. Very nice bumper and excellent fitment. It can be purchased from gruppe-s

just so people know, the OEM pieces are not urethane. They are polypropylene. There is a fairly big difference. I would choose quality FRP over urethane any day of the week, but FRP can't match OEM PP

Stock bumper, w/grill cut out for IC + Stillen front splitter. This is my new look



You can mount it without the turnbuckles if you dont care for them. After 3 body kits, I am done with anything not OEM/made of plastic

edit: i think the urethane Cwest N1 is from Extreme Dimensions.. but its not really urethane. its that flexible FRP.
