Go for PU.. Fiber sucks

which one more expensive and quality?

but where can i take to hit back PU???

johnkor, stop misleading. PU cannot be repaired if it's broken.

lol he reversed it, on the repairing part.
Anyway, get the best material which is PP, Polypropylene if there is such option.

oo .. so it means PU is better than fiber, isn't it?

Fiber is cheaper and can be repaired and customized. It got many different design too. . But I would prefer PU as it 'fits' nicely and can be installed by using the existing screw hole, no need to rivet like fiber.

i think PU is more stronger than fiber .. but you need to find a good paint for PU else the paint will peel off easily .. not like fibre..

If you want bodykit, go for PU.. last time I use fiber bodykit.. I'm scare of it.. Always crack especially the front lips.. And now I'm using PU bodykit.. Now don't worry about the lips crack while I worry is, bumper crack...

For long lasting, go for PU.. Or else, you will keep replacing the fiber lips it if crack...

How to recognize it's polyurethane or fiber?

Fiber is light while PU is heavier.. PU can be twist while fiber cannot.. The easier way is see the material. PU is look like rubber while Fiber is hard,

to color the bodykit, let say I give the color code to workshop, do they able to color bodykit exactly same as my car color?

Twist ? wao...

Usually the colour shop will take one small painted part of your car body to use as a reference. Normally the take out the fuel cover.

not really that kind of twisting you had in mind. PU is the material used to make your OEM front bumper, rear bumper and side skirts. Where it sorta 'elastic' where you can push or bend it a little. Whilst FRP or Fiber is strong and it is impossible to bend it a little. If you bend it too hard, it'll just breaks.

PU certain type but fiber many choice~
anybody need bodykit or more information can PM me~

The problem lies on undercoat, not paint. If they don't apply undercoat, paint will peel off no matter how good your paint is.
