    Well read some of the car mags and you will see what i meen. They make the body kit white and kinda blend it in with the rest of the car does that make more sense?

    :D Oh i get you know, (i think). It's like the body kit is white and like when u blend it in with the car, the blended part resemble flames or some kinda design of that matter. that would be cool.

    Maybe i should do that. Paint my body kit black and blend the black with my blue. i can just imagine how cute that would look.

    :( sadly No. i don't think i am gonna get this fiberglass kit. i want the kit, but i am gonna wait a while. People say fiberglass is not good and some say yes it is good. so i am gonna wait for a kit that's made with the same material as the rest of the car. i want the kit though, it'll my car look so sweet. it'll make the stock S look like nothing. the kit on my car would make people think differently of the Corolla. Maybe it will make people realize that the Corolla can be like the Civics and not just a "girly" car.

    Does anybody know what type of plastic is the orginial bumpers made of??? Like my friend said that they were fiberglass, but i told him it wasn't. i don't think the original bumper is fiberglass (is it???) :?

    most body kits now use a plsticy fiberglass resin stuff. It allows it to bend without cracking to peices. Take a look around at those Preludes por civics with kits on them. most of them are all stringy on the bottom or have duct tape patching the cracks. They dont take much abuse at all. Especially if your car is lowered.

    I was looking at my front bumper when I was clearing my corners out. I noticed a few scratches on the bottom side of the body kit. Now with my 10" of stock clearance I didnt think I could possibly get that. But I guess you can. SO I will have to be much more carefull when I lower the car I guess.

    Lets just put it this way.

    I had fiberglass and urathane bodykits before this car on my old car. I had urathane first, than fiberglass.

    urathane, I can tell you that its good, not bendable, but if you are going to crash, and hit it, it'll smash like fiberglass. As for urathane, my bodyshop said its harder to repair. But urathane will fit the car much better, and a LITTLE bit more durability during stuff like going up a curb while parking.

    But if you are going to hit something at like 10km/h+, than its over.

    fiberglass, is cheaper, and to my experience its better. Easier to replace and you can layer and layer it in the back when you first get the kit to ensure its stronger. Like paper-mache? i dotn know how to spell it but the point is, you can buy fiberglass and just take time and layer the back of the fiberglass body kit to make it even stronger. If you hit a curb while parking, you'll crack it, but cracking it is easy to mold back together. Melt and Mold. While urathane, if you crack it, its pretty much over, although its harder to crack urathane cause its built stronger.
