Yes sir.... U are absolutely correct. I should have specified haha. Urethane is worth the money. But I know a buddy of mine that just got the kit, and it's definately fiberglass! Better make sure that I'm looking for urethane!

Remember as well that there is a huge difference in quality of fiberglass depending on the methods and materials it made of. Unfortunately the best way to know what kind of quality a product is, is by finding someone that has bought it already. I've seen lots of cheap fiberglass hoods that look like Tacos after one summer in the sun and quality ones that last for years without issue.

I am surprised that Cervini would use fiberglass in one of their lower body kit pieces- High quality, durable, urethane parts have always been part of their appeal and thus why they sometimes cost 50% more than a competitors part. I haven't dealt with the late model world for a few years now but I can't say I've ever heard someone say they regretted buying a Cervini part. With the amount of crap that is out there on the market I'd spend the extra money to make sure I had a quality part rather than spend that money again later replacing the cheaper part or paying to make the cheaper part fit properly.

A few years back one of my younger brothers bought a "Buddy Club" kit for his ZX2 Escort. The fiberglass body kit wasn't all that expensive but every single piece had to be sectioned and stretched to fit the vehicle otherwise there was no way it would have even bolted up. He spent more money in labor getting the body kit to fit than he did on the body kit itself. The final product turned out really nice due to the fact that I sent the car to a quality shop I did work with but if he had just taken it "anywhere" it would have been slapped on and probably cracked out in the first 6 months.
