    body kit materials

    Ok, so I'm taking way too long to decide on a body kit for my CE thanks to all the talk of new kits/parts that are in developlment/production. Until I figure out what I want I'm going to go ahead and get the factory style spoiler but I have one final question about material before I get one.

    What is the factory S body kit/spoiler made from? I know our bumpers are made from poly-urethane but I dunno about the kit. I have heard the negatives of fiberglass so I want to stay away from it if I can. How is ABS compared to both fiberglass and the stock material? I found a spoiler w/light and all hardware for $115 at www.spoilerdepot.com. Here is a blurb about their material process:

    "We start with DCPD resins at the core of the part, coupled with Alpha Owens Corning â„¢ fiberglass to consistently produce strong, lightweight, flawless parts. We then incorporate easy-sanding gelcoat, followed by Dupontâ„¢ 2K urethane primer for a seamless velvety part that begs to be painted."

    ...coupled with fiberglass? ...urethane primer? What the heck is this stuff? I am gonna call/e-mail them to find out but I thought I would see what the stock spoiler was made from 1st. 8)
