    Agreed. Fiberglass is placed in molds after spraying them with Gelcoat, then placed under pressure to cure.

    No "casting" takes place.

      Fiberglass and other composites have a marvelous quality provided to them by the resin used. Most will shrink and distort a certain amount while curing.

        I seem to be the only one who is really happy with Eurostyle's kit. I installed my kit (properly) without any help whatsoever, and believe me it fits way better than any OEM plastic bumper/s that i have ever seen...and i've seen 100's of different e30's around.

        It used to bug me that my kit was fiberglass, but now i could care less. If i ever need a replacement piece i can rely on Fil (Eurostyle) to get it for me quickly.

        I have never been a fan of plastic bumpers. I find that with the bumper, valance, lip and then a splitter it just adds too many lines to the front (which are always unevenly spaced), that's why i have a fiberglass kit. IMO it looks just sooooooo much cleaner looking.

        I have seen pics of Jase's "nightmare" kit and i would also be upset if i had dished out all kinds of $$$ for something like that. I am friends with Jase and Fil (Eurostyle), and they are both great guys. I'm sure that they can work something out between the 2 of them.
