Yea...if your expert body shop is Maaco. Any body shop can do just as good a job on either. It just takes a hella lot more work to play w/ fitment and smooth or thin parts down on urethane, because you can't just sand it down. You have to SHAVE it down...

if you want a nice clean look, then yea go with the 99 spec front and apex'i sides like everyone does ...if you want something aggressive then go with the bomex kit. whatever you do, don't add the two together! that's just rancid it's really up to you though, but there are a ton of different kits out on the market...it's all up to personal taste.

I like polyurethane better too, but fiberglass is not too bad. Polyurethane is more durable though.
