[pandakid]

anyone one have any of them?a friend of mine is planning to get one. he just wants to know whats the ups and downs thanks.

far better than fiberglass body parts...they offer some flexing so thats a big advantage when having a lwoered car. i have heard rumors that the duraflex kits dont line up well, but thats more of the actual mold issue than anything else

i firend of mine bought a durflex lip for his Z and he hasnt regret the pruchase yet, the flexiblility on a lowered Z (any lowered car for that matter) saves the piece in the long run

how about some matreial called "ABS plastic"? i see a lot of parts on ebay made with this stuff now... if the fitment sux would it be a lot harder to fix?

i had a ABS plastic lip on my 95 accord and it broke in half onto a drive way. i wouldn't perfer them if you have a lowerd car.

its exaclty what its says...plastic

so duraflex kits are better than fiber glass?

definitely, its pretty much as close to urethane as you can get

I have machined quite a bit of abs, it is brittle if thin, cheap compared to
other plastics, relitively stable to machine, I wouldnt think it would be good for
painting but I have never looked into that aspect of it.

Does anyone know the material that gutters for houses are made out of?

My home-made $3.28 front lip on my old Sentra took quite the beating (scraped countless driveways/roads, dragged tumbleweeds from driving backwards through a field, hit a rock, my dog ran into it, etc.) and still survived for a good 9 months up until I finally hit a large chunk of ice in eight-degree weather while trying to squeeze my car out of a parking spot. Then it was back to Home Depot for another piece of gutter...$3.28 and two hours later it was as good as before.

Wow you gotta have some pics of that sentra you can post?

x2 for pics of that lip!!

Poly Urethane kits are better. But they don't always fit. My bodyman that did all my bodywork, his son has a crx with a urathane kit and it didn't even come close to fitting. In his words "No bodykit is a perfect fit" but i'll find out how well poly Urathane fits, because i'm getting Urathane front lip and rear splitters for my g/f's eclipse.

Aluminum....... usually .028 gauge, well anywhere from .021 to .031, They haven't used plastic gutters since ... well ever. That junk is for sheds and harry homemaker type stuff. I used to do this for a living.
