Question Body kit questions

Hey guys, I'm now thinking of working on my car somemore and am thinking of getting a body kit for my car.

I kinda like the blaze kit, the Value kit, skipper, oem, and west wing kits in that order.

My question is I here a lot of people get the west wings kit due to it being urethane and holds up the best to abuse. My question is for the other kits to thier make up and durability. I kinda like the value kit as the inspire fogs fit perfect and would be a nice upgrade.

I am lowered with comptech springs and truely don't want to spend loads of cash for something that gets smashed the first time I mistakenly pull forward to much when parking.


thanks for the help guys

Remember, both Blaze & skipper is add-on spoiler. Those are not full size bumper. Only Value Sports & JDM INSPIRE/SABER!

Dont worry, those kits are built with quality. Everything will be ok as long as you dont abuse the kit.

Also I haven't seen anyone with the blaze or Skipper kit installed anyone have a close up pic?

I have the WW kit and it has taken alot of abuse I have scraped it and bottomed it out twice so bad that it had to be repainted and my dad parked it front first once as if it was stock height and messed it up pretty bad and it still didn't crack I hit a 30 lbs. racoon (the biggest racoon I have ever seen) which knocked it off and still fine I hit another racoon that took off the kit and resulted in me running over the front lip and the only damage is some scratches on the sides and a 2inch crack on the driver side which is fixable all i need to find out is what is cheaper a new front lip or fixing this one
