Default Replacement body panels

So I have been looking around the last few days, and I am looking to change my bumper, skirts, and rear bumper to something different. Right now it is stock.

I have been holding off because I have been looking into the whole fiberglass/poly/frp choices. I drive my car every day in the summer, rain or shine, so it sees a lot of road abuse. I want to go with atleast a poly front bumper and side skirts, but I am having trouble finding choices.

So far I have found some at the Z store, and the aerosync from Grupp-s. It appears from his site that they only offer 1 style in poly. What other brands are out there that I can peruse to see if I like them better? Seems every thread leads to aerosync products.

Thanks

well, there are alot of genuine (real deal) bodykit parts that are made of poly. but will cost u loads more.

on the other hand, i've seen aftermarket kits made outta poly as well, and they're well worth it.

i'd suggest that u go with any look u like the most (even if it's FG), just try to take care of it, and repaint them once every year.

I daily my car and My kits FRP and I haven't had a problem.
Even when I do have problems I can fix them with some fiberglass etc.

With poly you can't really fix it, just buy a replacement. And we have seen fitment issues with poly due to its ability to warp quickly when not mounted or in storage.

JP Makes some lips from poly, I know Extreme dimensions makes Duraflex, which we get but we don't recommend. And a couple other companies as well.

I am looking for a bumper that can take a hit by a cone in an autocross, or deal with other road hazards around this area, vs having to repair the fiberglass and repaint. I just really like the idea of something as durable as the stock piece. I am also looking for a whole bumper, and not just a lip.
