PP = Polypropylene which I mentioned a lot of times at the front pages for goodness sake =.=

And NO, PU+FIBER doesn't give you PP.

PU fiber basically means it's still made of fiber. They apply a PU coating onto fiber so that it's more durable. That's all.

Original bodykits + paintjob is the best.

Fiber or PU or other material + paintjob will look gh3y after 1 or 2 years.

Just avoid Fiber material eventhough is the cheapest out there, WYPIWYG.

To paint a PU bodykit, you need to apply undercoat (PU primer), or else the paint will eventually peel by itself. Those who don't apply undercoat, either they're lazy or cut cost (trying to earn more).

It's just a coating (layer) applied on fiber.

Not last longer. To be more exact, it's more durable.
