im not a fan of them but recently ive been looking into them and theres only one i really like GP Sports G four the only other option for a body mod is 180sx type X rear valences and side skirts and a front lip. Anyone know where to get and what material is the best? i can get a whole GP sports kit for 800 (1200 reg price) through a friend in NYC, but i’d rather spend 800 on something else. body kits i dont know much about because i always found them ricer-ish. But these two pics have been what ive been going for with my car, even the wing. ![http://www.jdm-per4mance.com/images/GP%20Sports%20G%20FOUR%20AERO%20S13%20%20180SX%20FRONT%20BUMPER%20SMOOTHING.JPG](http://www.jdm-per4mance.com/images/GP%20Sports%20G%20FOUR%20AERO%20S13%20%20180SX%20FRONT%20BUMPER%20SMOOTHING.JPG) ![http://www.jdm-per4mance.com/images/GP%20Sports%20G%20FOUR%20AERO%20S13%20180SX%20REAR%20BUMPER.JPG](http://www.jdm-per4mance.com/images/GP%20Sports%20G%20FOUR%20AERO%20S13%20180SX%20REAR%20BUMPER.JPG) And BTW that just happens to be the GP sports kit i want. ---

Urethane is universally considered a better material to fiberglass, although generally more expensive. Also consider brand names and fitment. Almost no body kit fits perfectly and it’s very frustrating. That body kit in particular flows with the car (that car) and isn’t ridiculous. :thumb ---

> [@Vovchandr](#): > > Urethane is universally considered a better material to fiberglass, although generally more expensive. What he said. The body kit I got for my car was only offered in fiberglass, and I’ve got some pretty significant spider webbing at the corners. It’s pretty fragile. The one in the pics you posted looks _very_ nice. ---

I go through 3+ heavy duty ABS plastic splitters a year, I cant imagine putting anything fiberglass on the front of a car, daily driver or not. Fiberglass will explode if you hit it on something while urethane and ABS will flex and at most crack, not disintegrate. ---

ABS is the way to go, OEM quality, but usually quite expensive. as far as paint goes, do a proper mix with the flexing agent and it should hold up to oem standards aslong as prep work, and the painters abilities are up to par. ---

Nothing beats OEM panels however, in terms of quality and fitment. Stock + Lips = the way to go 99% of the time. ---

GP Sports is great quality from what I’ve heard. You’re gonna need some low offset to pull it off though. ---
