my GReddy lip cracked too.
I had an APPROVAL front bumper. It's very strong fiberglass. No USA kinda wavy stuff.

so if urs is cracked, then hit up greddy for replacement
if greddy doesn't have such a warranty, then I dunno what to say past the fact that they are shady....
but greddy (trust) has been around on the modding scene since it's inception...greddy was the first company out there with a stainless steel flow through exhaust,....they gotta make good

I don't think L-Sportline will replace their kit if customers crack it. In fact I dont' think ANY bodykit manufacturers do that, but except maybe offering a cheaper replacement kit (like what VeilSide is doing.)

my only knowledge truthfully comes from owning a stillen kit.....I was one of the first to own a stillen kit for the 03 maxima, and they said that if it ever cracked, they replace it no questions asked..
obviously it wont be painted so that would have to be redone.......
and my kit was urethane....
maybe im wrong but my ASSUMption was all quality vendors warrantied the same.....

fiber glass or not it's doesnt matter....when you hit something hard its still gonna get mess stuff even though its metal.. The only one i gotta say is just be careful when you drive a car with the body kit.

Back to the topic.... that price is ridiculous for a genine Explosion kit. Notice that the description is "Type Exlposion". Anytime you see "Type", you know it's a fake.
To jump back on the FRP bandwagon....most J-Spec kits are FRP. One thing about FRP is that it can be repaired, unlike Poly kits.

by comparison, the urethene allows quite a bit more flexibility, but it's quite a bit heavier than fg if we talk about the same size.
and on top of that, i think a lot of the kits in japan they are fg coz' it's easier to work with to fit on cars, and it's easier to repair and fix in general. urethene, gosh, you probably dont' even want to talk about repairing a urethene kit

Warning This Is Not The Expolsion Kit
EBAY KIT
this kit is not the explosion kit made by Auto Couture it is a cheap non FRP knock off.
I did a fair amount of research and called around to find out some information about the kit and the one sold on ebay is not the original one. You are much better off going to carson toyota and getting the real one that is made to fit and probally much higher quality. That is were I will going to get my kit, hate to repeat the ever so famous saying but you get what you pay for.
