Bodykit question
 
Hey all. Just have a quick question for people. I'm lookin' at getting the Saleen body kit, and I was wondering what you guys think of the two options out there that I've found. The first one is available here, http://www.mustangtuning.com/musabokit9.html and it's reasonably priced. The other one is located on Saleen's website here... http://www.saleen.com/index.html
The most notable difference is that the second one(Saleen's) is made from Urethane versus fiberglass(MT's). I don't know much about either, so what's the difference...there's damn near an $800 price difference from the two. Let me know what y'all think.

Urethane bends, and fiberglass does not...or as much.

Problem with fiberglass is if you hit something the 1st time you can kiss it goodbye. Urethane it will flex and retain its shape.

Yeah, Ditto, go with Urethane if you can but the drawback is, like you said, a pretty big price difference.

There are better prices for urethane out there though. Look around, never buy directly from Saleen, they are horrible with cust service anyways. Look around on Ebay for someone with a very high seller rating that is selling a urethane kit and you will be fine. Will be imbetween the saleen.com price and the fiber glass kit price.

Also make sure its original part from Saleen, my rear wing has Saleen engraved on the underside.

I say go with the Cobra R body and urathane all the way baby. Its worth the extra in price. you dont needa a rock hitting then kit and breaking it on the first boo boo. Urethane will bend and flex for you. Save the money in the long run.

You get what you pay for... buy the urethane.

I was a bit suprised that MT would carry a full fiberglass kit.
