Yes, that's right. And if you hit anything with a fiberglass kit on, it will crack. One of the negative aspects of having a fiberglass kit.

Not 100% sure, but I think it's a fiberglass kit as well. In fact, most bodykits from Japan are made of fiberglass, except for the OEM (factory) bodykits which are made of polyurethane.

You're kidding right? They don't paint the kit on the car. Think how much masking they'd have to do to paint it.

Take the pieces to the body shop and have them paint them. Install it yourself, it's easy.
