[QUOTE="roy_fatboy, post: 3376414, member: 15552"] FYI.. in malaysian market here, car kits comes in 4 different material, 1- [B]ABS[/B] plastic - Orginal (Mostly use, normal standard bumpers) 2-[B] PP [/B]- Aftermarket kits, closest to original, flexible and hard, best choice but expensive, Non-customizable (can add fibre, but won't stick that well) 3- [B]PU[/B](Polyurethane) - Also aftermarket kits, flexible but not that hard, [B]NON-customizable[/B] (same case like PP, can add fibre but wont stick well), and need a really professional guy to spray cos paint wont stick easily to it. But Cheaper solution compared to PP. and last but not least,[B] Fiber[/B] - Hard, Solid, Very easy to customize, but too much customization may make the surface uneven and hard to spray (depends on the workmanship). There is also FRP (Fibre reinforced PU), which is abit more flexible than fibre, but still easy to break. so, answering TS's question, i don't think there is such thing as customizing PU parts, because [U]PU kits are made in a mold and it came with just one Piece[/U], meaning you can't add stuffs to it (unless u are talking about canards/diffusers). Mild customization is possible, but to customize it, they will still use Fibre.. you cant add PU to it, there is no such thing.. and about reliability, i think its the best choice after PP, and to me, it depends on where would you like to have it. If it is just a bumper, shouldn't be a problem if you screw all the brackets to necessary points, it will hold well and won't go out of shape easily. If it is to be used as a fender, bonnets or spoilers, then it is not advisable, Fibre part is a better choice, or if you have the cash, go for customize metal parts instead, way better. Does that answer your question? Bump: it sounds more like a paint crack to me.. paint crack is different la.. but for the part itself to crack just because of sunlight, i don't think its possible.. Bump: that is PVC bro, not PU.. [/QUOTE]
