Body Kit Material Help

Hey everyone,

Im looking for a body kit for my FD. I came across materials such as PFRP from CWEST, and i also found this "Tracer" body kit from Vision AutoDynamics. I think it looks the same but the material is different. the "Tracer" body kit has this material called "Vfiber Originality".

Is there any difference in the material?
The price is a huge difference though

Any input would be helpful.

THANX ALL

Well i know that extremedimensions body kits are made from a material called duraflex which is very hard to break. I am not aware of the Vision autodynamics brand never heard of them before.

The big price difference is one kit is original C-West and the other is a knock off of the C-west, not the material used to make the kit.
They both are probably using very similar FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) which gives the flex to the material so it stands up to day to day driving a lot better and gives it some give so it doesn't crack so easily.

VFiber, HI-Flex, PFRP all pretty much the same stuff.
