The guy's response on the site: Making the kit in Polyurethane is a possibility, however we need a greater number of participants in the GB. (at least 50+). Since productions costs are extremely high, we would like to make the fiberglass version first and see what the demand for the body kit is like.

LISTEN THE KIT WILL BE MADE OUT OF FIBER GLASS FOR THESE 3 REASONS

1) Ease of repair. Some simple bondo and some touch-up paint will do wonders if it's a daily driver. Polyurethane is much harder to repair if you're a DIYer and sometimes nearly impossible.

2) Accomodation to "extras." If you don't like certain parts of the kit they can add, fill, shape or customize the fiberglass much easier than with polyurethane. Most aftermarket scoops, etc. are made of fiberglass and fiberglass molded to fiberglass is much easier than fiberglass to polyurethane.

3) Cost!

chevy355blazer · 02-03-2005, 01:47 AM

in otherwords they dont wanna make urethane cuz it costs more and is prolly harder to make. yall must be from down south or west coast. we get winter we need urethane. besies fiber is also heavier for all u 1/4 timers out there. u can look great with a kit and go faster too

02-03-2005, 06:42 AM

Potholes, snow or whatever- if your so damn worried about scraping then you should NOT purchase the kit in the first place. It's a trade-off to making the car look good. When you have ANY bodykit you have to learn how to drive correctly and carefully, be it ***, AAS, RK, SC/T, etc. The kit is going to be made of fiberglass, PERIOD. Your either in or out. It's as simple as that.

chevy355blazer · 02-04-2005, 10:21 AM

guess all 9 of us are out then. its not a matter of driving. just a matter of everday wear and tear.

phatG-A · 02-04-2005, 10:25 AM

well the way i look at it is, i'm going to be spending $1450 on the RK kit because of what it's made of. plus it looks good.

chevy355blazer · 02-05-2005, 08:47 AM

exactly so if they made that kits cheaper than the rk wouldnt u buy it. im trying to make them money here.

phatG-A · 02-05-2005, 09:26 AM

yep. i don't mind spending $1000 bucks for a urathane kit.

FireItUpXTC · 02-07-2005, 04:01 PM

as i just said in the other thread that i read before this one... im very interested in getting in on a gb for this however i also live in the cold weather and would be willing to spend the extra $$$ for a urethane kit.
also most of the pics of the kits are down and are not displaying

methos · 02-07-2005, 05:17 PM

im down for this kit

02-07-2005, 08:14 PM

OK SO FAR THESE PEOPLE ARE GOOD TO GO ON THE KIT! who else is IN
or still thinking about it:

black99gagt
methos

and
(maybe)chevy355blazer +9 additional is down if its made out of urothane(sp)

who else is in

FireItUpXTC · 02-07-2005, 09:28 PM

I wouldnt say this kit isnt an option if its not urethane but of course that would be my preference however i would need a 4dr so whether that limits whether i can be in the buy or not i dont know. also if u could repost or check the link for those pictures thatd be great b/c i cant seem to see them, sry to be a pain in the arse.

chevy355blazer · 02-08-2005, 11:45 AM

3 of my 9 are out for sure there gonna get shipped out in 4-5 months. and gone for 1-2 years. and the others are gonna wait and see what happens, with the kit u would like to be made. USMC

Just an FYI, they can't make a urethane kit with the same kind of mold used for a fiberglass kit. It's a totally different process. That's why most companies involved in fiberglass bodykit's will never make a urethane kit. They don't have the money or resources to make the molds or get the equipment.

chevy355blazer · 02-09-2005, 12:52 AM

really.... thank u i did not know that now i feel bad for being so danged persistant with history. learn something new every day thank u

02-09-2005, 06:30 AM

Ok for all you guys with the 4 doors your lucky i found a 4 door car to test it on so the front bumper and rear bumper will fit great on a door door but i still need a 2 door car to test it on so the side skirt will fit.

methos · 02-09-2005, 05:48 PM

good, i was about to ask if u have a 4dr donor or a 2dr donor...cuz i have a 4dr GT
