Urethane body kits are made out of heavy-duty molds and are machine-made, so the precision of finish is normally solid. The cost to develop a proto-type and mold for a complete urethane body kit is about 12 times that of a fiberglass body kit. Urethane body kits are more expensive than fiberglass ones because they cost a whole lot more to make.

Poly-urethane body kits - Poly-urethane (also referred to as simply "urethane") is a techinical word that basically means "rubber". An example of this is the Duraflex brand of body kits, which is probably the most popular-selling line of body kits we offer. Extra note: some companies have introduced high-end fiberglass body kits that use a specialty flex resin that gives bodykit-buyers the best of both worlds: durabilty and affordabilty. Besides that, they're the most affordable type of body kit available.

That being said, paint adheres really well to fiberglass, and fiberglass won't warp even in the most extreme of weather conditions. Also, most fiberglass body kits won't withstand a fender-bender as well as, for example, poly-urethane body kits. Fiberglass body kits are almost all made by hand, and because of that they don't have the same precision of fitment and finish as, say, your machine-made CAD-designed factory bumpers do. The main reason is because they're the most cost-effective to manufacture. Take a look:įiberglass body kits - These are the most prevalent body kits by far.
