need input for body kits?

I need some input for getting a body kit...

im pretty set on the GTR kit but my only problem is MAZDASTYLE only makes their bodykits out of fiber glass.... (breaks like mad ****) ... im not sure if its worth the money... in my opinion its not... but im still looking for options. ?Does anyone out there know what the j-spec OEM bumpers are made out of? and has any one out there found some more cool body kits for the 1st gens? other than the folowing.

1. GTX j-spec
2. GTR j-spec
3. GTR mazdastlye
4. Evo 3 from mazdastyle
5. combat bodykit from mazdastyle

can anybody give me some input on how the mazdastlye body kits are? being as they are fiberglass... loooking to find out what other people think... how the are up close in person.

GTX bumper is urethane, which should be pretty flexible.

when you say the GTx bumper is made of urethane... are you talking about the J-spec one? or are you talking about the mazdastyle one?

All Oem bumpers are urethane. The bootleg bumpers (GTR-GTX) are fiberglass . Which is why they dont cost much. i know Mazdaspeed west made a brace for his evo kit because he broke it . He now has a oem GTX bumper..Jon

right now its looking like $1400-1500. its a chunk of change, but i think its worth it. that kit looks bad-***.
