frp vs poly body components
what are the pros/cons when choosing the material body components are made of?
my interest is only in those materials but maybe we should throw carbon in there too to be all encompasing?
from the bit of research i've done it sounds like FRP is more brittle and tends to crack on impact vs poly that can bend. meaning that FRP is better for front bumpers/lips that might rub things. but for bumpers..etc the material isn't as much of a concern.
i'm trying to choose between buying LHtuning's rear JDM bumper replica and an OEM JDM bumper.
thanks.
