Black is the worst color to photograph. It is very difficult to capture the lines of a black car in a photgraph no matter how much you manipulate the lighting. These pix dont do that car justice. You have to see it in person.

Top Secret will not make any aero parts from polyurethane simply because polyurethane changes form at high temperatues and warps even though it is more 'amature-driver' friendly.

This car is going on Top Secret's wall in Japan.

A buddy of mine has an AE 86,and his OEM JDM bumpers are polyurethane, and do not change form with regular climate heat....

Please correct me if I'm wrong Emotiongear, but isn't fiberglass a cheaper material and easier to make when compared to polyurethane ?

I have a polyurethane kit on my BMW and its just fine also. On other occasions I've had polyurethane warp over time or ended up with a kit full of pinholes. Also most of the polyurethane kits I've owned have been cheaper than the fiberglass ones. I'm not a bodyshop expert but my personal opinion is each material has advantages and disadvantages and the quality comes down to the manufacturer.

Anyway, back to Jeff's car...cannot wait for a cf hood to go on there

Jeff, It was truly an honor having you visit our shop and having the Body Kit installed here too. I also love the Black TS Shift ****! Thank you for your business and hope to see you again very soon when we install your Carbon Fiber Hood.

That car is truly....sweet!

lol this is the hugest highjack ever....

I'm sure TS's fiberglass is top quality you shouldn't run to replicas so quickly.

I was just simply trying to confirm with emotiongear that fiberglass is a cheaper/easier material to use when compared to polyurethane.

And I was also trying to confirm that polyurethane will not change form in normal climates, some JDM cars use polyurethane OEM and have no problems.

You guys should still show interest in this kit, I'm sure TS R&D's great quality and fitting, they just so happen to use a cheaper material, and charge top dollar = more profits, and just think once you crack a piece of your kit you'll have to buy another

I'm sure there are benefits for each but when either material becomes damaged for whatever reason, it's history.
