    ABT body kit question

    Hey all, what is the ABT body kit made of? I'm thinking that it's made of polyurethane, but could it be made of fiberglass?

    Hold up, you mean the knock-off is made of fiberglass or the real ABT kit?

    How is the installation...is it pretty easy??? I want a lower lip spoiler but i can't trust anyone around here to put it on, so im going to do it by myself ... is it hard or did you have someone put it on?

    well i think that if i put it on myself i could have done a better job, the guy who did it for me was a "certified installer" which means s##t theres gaps all round on mine and i think it looks horrible. but if i went to somone who knew what there were doing and didn't just rip off the old front bumper then i think the install would look better, just be sure to compleatly cut off the plastic bar that goes right where the mesh is, i left the middle one on and it looks worst, and also id recomend when the bumper is off to change ur fog light bulbs to something like the spp superwhite, cause its a pain to take the abt bumper off again, not that u really need to, all service and stuff can be done with it on. so thoes would be my recomendations if i were to do it again

    Looks like you have to cut the lower half of the stock bumper off?

    u dont have too, you have to cut the little lip of it, but then u get this plastic thing hanging down, so might as well cut it, makes fitment easier and looks better
