Question on the kaminari kit

I know the kaminari kit comes in polyurethane..but is there anway that i can get them to make it in fiberglass for me? and will it be cheaper or more expensive to change the material?

maybe he was curious if they could do fiberglass because he was trying to get it cheaper and wasnt sure if it would be a "yea sure we could do that for you" or a "sorry man, we arent set up for that"

Nope...the painter would add a "flex agent" to the paint so that it wouldn't crack.

On a side note, the Kami kit is the only one I'd consider because it is made of pu.

sounds like a good way to go. IMO, either orange w/ darker wheels (gunmetal or flat black) or blue w/ bronze wheels would be sweet. also, if you get the evo wing w/ carbon fibre, a cf evo hood would be nice.

kami kit, orange, carbon fibre and dark wheels =

I grew up in a bodyshop (well, not in it technically...that would just be sad) , but that was a long time ago. Thanks for the correction...didn't know that it wasn't necessary anymore.

Are you sure? When I repainted my bumper, I still had to add the "flex" additive to the paint before using it. I could have been scammed, but I thought you still needed to mix whatever additives you needed for the paint's characteristics
