Nothing wrong with quality fiberglass. Why are you so set on polyurethane?

I am set on polyurethane because I have had fiberglass before, and it cracked. Then I got polyurethane, and I have never had a problem. I would also like to know if there are any urethane lip kits too.

if you don't have to get fibergalss...don't! I've had fiberglass kits on my civic for years, then finally got abs pastic...plastic holds up much stronger then fiberglass and it doesn't warp or wave as bad as fiberglass...if you look on onetongarage.com, van sells the full noblesse kit, which is fiberglass, but the quality is great and it is one of the only fiberglass kits i would get....look at his example of a chaep fiberglass kit, and how its wavy...not to mention, i've noticed the fitment of abs kits is much greater then that of fiberglass kits...the only abs kits I know of are DAMD kit, Kenstyle Lip Kit, and I believe thats it off the top of my head...good luck ;-)

I know that urethane kits are USUALLY better than fiberglass, but there is nothing wrong with a HIGH quality fiberglass kit. When you spend that extra money on a high quality fiberglass kit you get a thicker, more durable kit. I come from VW's and NOBODY makes urethane kits for them. I have had great luck with fiberglass kits as long as I didn't skimp and buy something cheap.

exactly, if your spending under 1000 dollars for fiberglass kit, its probably not going to be good quliaty...also, something to look out with urethane, its very flexible, and you will have to make mounts, i've seen a lot of paint crack on urethane kits b/c it shifts, and the paint can only handle mild shifts in position

Run the stock sides. I have a full ABS Dynamics lip kit on mine and am not very happy with the fittment of the sides. I'll be switching back to stockers sometime soon. They look pretty cool, but fittment is sketchy:
