that kit would definitely help with cooling and would also be a great place for a FMIC....

With the price being as low as it is, a was just worried it may not be real durable. I'm thinking of getting either this or a mopar lip kit and srt hood

well im guessing u have never even messed with bodykits or anything.

there lets see fiberglass and then urethane fiberglass well that what my front is not and everytime i hit something hard it either cracks or brakes off. now for urthethane its suppose to be like plastic more durable bendable and reliable. but theres only like 2 fronts out there made out of urethane and one is well the evo front and then another one i cant think of rite now.

urethane cost way more than fiberglass.

also the price for that kit u see on the link isnt with shipping im sure they will charge u an extra $150 to $200 for shipping because a freight truck has to deliver it.

so before everyone else tells you, ill let u know they are probably going to advise you to go with a lip kit since whats what most people on here have.

Do You drink before posting? lol

I do Know a little bit about body kits, I was just looking for some feedback on this one. I've seen urethane kits for other cars that are extremely thin and fall apart easily, I would never get a fiberglass kit because of how easily they break. I do have a question tho, the site says it's made of FRP Composite, i've read this is a pretty high quality material but haven't had any personal experience with it.

More than likely I will probably get the mopar kit, but I saw this and it just got me thinkin.

If you think that you are going to pay 300 for a full body kit and expect it to fit correctly and look good you are far from correct.

It is a knock off. And AAS is a known shitty dealer. Go somehwere else. Do a search on AAS. You will see all the bad dealings they do.

If its made of something other than a urethane, you need to be VERY careful with it and how you drive with it. It will crack easily.

I looked around a bit though, and found it on another site available in what this company is calling "V-Fiber". They are claiming it is better than urethane. I don't know...no experience with it, but if you really want it, its worth a try:

l
Not true at all. You should see some of the shit I hit. My whole kit is fiberglass.

I made a vid once. As long as you get quality then it will hold up good.

Found it. That piece is from my official legit buddyclub II side skirts. I had to cut mine down so I could have my car go lower. That is why I have a piece. That piece has been painted and had been on the car for about 2 months before I shot this vid.

So all in all. Buy quality legit kits. NOT knockoffs. My front bumper has held up to alot of abuse.

I'm leaning a lot more toward the mopar kit, I may be able to get it for 10% over deal cost through my work.

I just saw that body kit and hadn't seen it on a neon before.
I thought it might be cheaply made, that's why I posted the originaly post guys ; )

Wrong. it is a a knock off of another kit. AAS is a terrible dealer. I am no telling him to like a different kit. I am saving him the hassel of getting shit or not getting it at all.

i like it but looking at the pic of the rear bumper .... the gap is huge, it looks like you could put your pinky through it. if i was selling the kit i wouldnt show it misaligned like that. maybe im picky.
