PLAYRZ Donating Members 333 Member For: 20y 11d Gender: Male Location: VIC Posted 28/03/07 02:54 AM Share Posted 28/03/07 02:54 AM Currently looking to purchase a front and rear FPV bumper for my XR6T, but my only concern is that all the non genuine FPV kits are made from fibreglass. Are these the only ones available?Do any of the members who have these fibreglass kits find any problems with poor fitment, cracking, stress marks, etc? If not, what supplier would you recommend to buy from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guests Posted 28/03/07 03:02 AM Share Posted 28/03/07 03:02 AM Haven't got one myself but I know AWC do all types of bodykits for BA - BF's. From what I've heard and the pictures I've seen of cars fitted up with them I'd say they are top quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've heard and the pictures I've seen of cars fitted up with them I'd say they are top quality AWC kits look to be quite good. My only hesitation is that although the kit may look and fit good initially, that after say 12 or 18 months of daily driving, the kit will start to crack/chip.

I driving lights don't have any mounting screws and I was told by AWC to sikaflex them in (They may have changed the design now I have had it almost a year.)The stone chips do show up quite a lot but my Phantom paintwork does not help that.The overall fit was very good though.

I give AWC just make sure you use a good painter.RegardsM G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
