well i'm pretty sure you won't find a urithane kit for your car. most kits are fiberglass. when the kit come's in you can beef it up your self. i mean damn if your going four wheeeling with fiberglass sure it's gonna crack. if you hit speed bumps and **** like that at mach 1 it will crack. if you dirve smart it could still crack but not to bad. fibergalss is easy to fix.

There are very few urethane body kits, so fiberglass is pretty much your only choice. Drive carefully and you won't fvck it up. Even if you do it can be fixed easily. No worries.

to beef it up just put some extra layers of fiberglass on the back side. usually when they crack you can fill it in with bondo or fiberglass resin and sand and repaint. vision's could give you better info on it though.

Look at it this way... before there as Carbon Fibre and urethane.. there was Glass Reinforced plastic.. Better known as Fibreglass. up until the mid eighties, if you wanted a spoiler, wheel flares, side skirts, or even lightweight hoods... you used the glass.
