Everything you have said is a given.

What makes you think it does nothing to the aerodynamics.

As far as wind flex cracks.... i have had it twice.

well i went through 2 bumpers and cracked both of em... the first was the bomex i got from ebay with the rest of the kit... but the second one was a drifter one that i spent over 300 on... no matter how much you spend on the body kits, a raccoon will still do the same amount of damage

then it's also true that if you have the stock set-up, the racoon would do considerably less damage, and would cost less money cause 1) you wouldnt need to buy the body kit, 2)you wouldnt have to get it painted, 3)you wouldnt need to pay any money to fix it lol... stock set-up FTW! boo ya! lol

I bought a PolyUrethane Body kit , have hit one drive way that was angled badly, and ran over a severely torn up raccoon, and neither of which damaged my kit. Where-as whoever owned my car before me MASHED the front right side of the front bumper in due to ramming something. My current bumper would take it like a champ and weighs MAYBE 5-8 pounds more than stock. But Whoop-ti DO it's show anyways. Dropping a car and putting a kit on it IS stupid however. Sebba, is that your car in your photo gallery, cause if it Is I will make example of it all over this page and laugh my bawls off doing so.
