Default What's the difference between...?

I just wanted to know what is the difference between fiberglass and polyurethane bodykits? Like is one stronger, is one easier to work with easier to paint or what?

Hello New Member..

Welcome to the forums...why not go to the New Members area and introduce yourself and your car to all the members.

I for one do not have that answer to your question, but I do know that we have a couple of body shop members here in the forums which means ..you will more than likely get that answer from one of them pretty soon...

Thanks For Joining Up !

fiberglass is the stuff that they use to make corvette bodies and is fairly rigid and will crack versus senting.

polyurithane is what they make bumper covers out of. They are more flexible and can warp with age if they are not of sufficient quality

Basically, urethane is flexable, can take a bit more abuse and still be usable, and costs more.

Fiberglass is more available in desired shapes, is more affordable, but is easier to damage.
