Just wondering if the Tsunami 2000 Civic Bumper is anygood? I heard it was fiber glass also, and that it chips and cracks often. What other bumpers are good besides Cwest? because that is just way too much.

It just seems like everyone gets that bumper for their Si..........If I were you id get something that isn't so played out.

yeah I have seen the Tsunami kit on a lot of civics any suggestions on other good looking ones I have looked around a lot, but im trying to get poly urethane I heard its better.

the tsunami kits are all urethane. so they wont crack like fiberglass does.

Thanks man ill look into it, I also like the Street Fyghter 3 kit it looks pretty clean im not going for something big mouthed and ugly.

no....

not all kits are made of fiber glass

it depends whether you get the real thing, or the rip off.

normally the real thing will be made of poly urethene or whatever its called

and the rip offs and imitations will be made of fiberglass

thats why you can find cheap 5 peice body kits at stores for like 500 dollars.
thats because they are rip off kits and not the real thing.

sorry....

what i mean was that all TSUNAMI kits (the real thing) all come in urethane and not in fiberglass.

Im saying this cause some of the real kits like C-West are made in fiberglass.

I think the Tsunami kit looks very good on the Civic. Has a nice integrated look that blends in with the natural lines. Not overblown or overswoopy that makes it look "stuck on".

Anyone have a link for the C West website?

Full_Clip will not buy a kit for his Accord.

different opinions about fiberglass and urethane..although urethane is more durable and wont crack as easy, if anything stupid does happen, its gonna be much easier to repair a fiberglass body part...just letting you know
