I know it's been discussed to death, but the yellow is very difficult to match, and also when you paint plastic you get different results than if you are painting metal.. it will be just a hair off..

If you look at the stock bumper in the sun you will notice that it isn't perfect ethier.

The yellow is apparently a "candy" color, which means that it has several layers to it, and it has to be painted in a certain order. All the paint code tells you is what is in it, not how to paint it...

I have not researched enough into s2k body kits to know which are urethane.

However, for example, the factory front lip is urethane.

I think Wings West also makes urethane kits.

I know that Mugen dissapointingly uses FRP for its kits.

Oh sorry, thats right, the Gears kit is urethane - which explains its relatively high price for a small piece of front lip

i had a civic with the fiberglass veilside kit...

in 2 years i had 1 small crack 1 medium crack and 1 big crack that i had to tie the kit with a rope so it won't fall off..

it was hella embarrassing..

needless to say, i took that ish off my car and reinstalled my factory bumper and I WILL NEVER EVER BUY A FIBERGLASS KIT AGAIN!!
