FRP? is it realy that strong?
 
I was looking at body kits and most of them are offered in FRP?

is this stuff really that strong? i've seen cars with body kits on them with huge white cracks that have resulted from minor impacts.

i love the Amuse kit but $1500 for a FRP bumper!??? is it worth it, will it last with the quality of a OEM?

thanks

depends on the shape of the lip, how it is reinforced, how thick the product is, how it is mounted.

and how bad you drive. :D

umm... OEM > all lol.. but if you get the amuse... I would hope you NEVER scrape it lol

anyone here have a FRP bumper that can chime in on their experience.

I have seen many of my friends spend ALL their turbo funds making sure they had a clean looking non busted up bumper for their shows... in all seriousness if you never scrape - you will be good
