Is PFRP good quality? paint looks good on it etc? flexible?

draxcaliber

do you have any links to their website so we can look at pictures and such.

i haven't heard of this brand.

webekyle

thats the material. sorry i didn't explain: Poly-Fiber Reinforced Plastic

draxcaliber

anyway, general rules are "you get what you paid for" and "stuff on ebay is not always what it seems."

draxcaliber

oh, well if it is material, it is my understanding that urethane is the best stuff to get.

imo: unless your car is a show car or otherwise fully modded street car, not daily driven.... you shouldn't get a body kit. A lip kit maybe, body kit is pure rice for a stock or semi-modded car.

my front bumper is cracked from an iceburg on the highway... it will actually be cheaper to replace it with an after market bumper... and i may as well do a full body kit since they are so cheap... i was told not to get fiberglass and something else but i cant remember the other material

no-tec

haha iceburg.

draxcaliber

like i said earlier, you get what you paid for. body kits very rarely fit as well as OEM factory bumpers.

you might save some money on an aftermarket bumper, but it can be very cheaply made from crappy paper thin materials, or not line up or fit right and cost you more money in labor just getting it to fit right.

the best kit you can get for the tc that will go on almost perfectly is the kaminari kit. and by that i mean a REAL kaminari kit, not some k-type rip off of a kaminari kit.

anyway, an new OEM bumper is only like $230 bucks, plus another 200 to paint or so.

thats what they call them here: hardened snow build up from under vehicles = iceburg... they fall off and the one i happened to get introduced to had to have been from a semi truck or something.

no-tec

Gonna side with this guy 10 fold.

its a daily driver but I'm modding without restriction... the only thing I'm not gonna do is turbo it... turbo[ing] a front wheel drive car makes no sense to me after driving an Evolution MR

so far I've lowered it 2 inches, Short ram air intake, Exhaust, and now it will have a body kit. next thing is rims and tires. ill have my Audiobahn system installed eventually but thats a TON of weight.
Most of the guys i work with and hangout with drive tuner or rice... or ride a crotch rocket... My XB12R is all stock and always will be.

driving a scion tc after driving (did u own, or just drive?) an Evo makes no sense to pretty much everyone on this forum.

webekyle

My dad owns one and when i visit him, i usually drive it.
