I would not mind paying like 300 dollars more even 500 dollars more for the front and back. Now side skirt spoiler and the smaller things I think fiber will be fine parts that won't get hit as easily or at all.

Every one thinks they won't get hit by that cone or what ever comes there way but believe me I have. Fiber did not last one bit. The whole side flew off. Iv had a cone hit my stock body before and no damage. Is it worth replaceing each time and taking it to the shop. Those are the quesions one must ask.

Snow has never damaged my fiberglass side skirts.

To be fair you also have to say that the fiberglass proposed is all hand laid uniform thickness with dead on fit made in the USA work and not chopped glass sprayed into a mold with no uniform thickness and questionable fit, That makes a huge difference.

Will be watching this.


Also the way your poll read it is poly kit or fiber kit?
yes
no

Anyone who wants the kit will vote yes to the question.

People who said no need to give a logical reason why they do not want a poly kit. Im not even talking about price. Im talking about the logic behind poly vs fiber.

IMO.. i only like poly kits due to its durability and im sure others would agree. But as to the Ganster kit. its cool but not my taste. I recently bought the Five Axis kit because it's poly and it looks pretty good IMO. I also like the AIT kit, but it's only in fiber, otherwise i would have picked it up when it comes out.

That is the main reason why we would choose poly. Durability plus the long term savings from it not getting cracked. Ovisously if fiber was almost as good as poly this issue would not arrise but the fact of the matter is poly is better than fiber. Now if there is someting intween or the cost of poly can come down thats a different story.

People who voted no should give a logical reason why they voted no so we get a better feel for the situation.

If I did ask the people who voted yes why they picked yes would you consider it then?
