Anybody have bomex body kits on their car?  I've been hit in the front and back now and decided to get a body kit.  But i dont know if it will fit on my car and still keep it a daily driver without breaking because my car is lowered 2 inches.  Anybody with experience please let me know.  I dont want to scrap or break it.  Thanks

yes bomex fits the 240 they have kits made specifically for the 240 they arenot universal ktis. Anyways the kit will not break, you might scratch if you are not careful but bomex body kits are generally pretty nice quality

do you happen to know what materials they make their kits out of? Fiberglass, Hybrid-fiberglass, Urethane, etc.?

If they're fiberglass, how many layers do they use?

hah daily driving and youre lowered 2 inches? i dunno..

the kit is just plain fiberglass..  so..  yea.. hah  just dont drive too crazy..  

im lowered on pro kits and im not too low..  so i guess you could be ok..  and the kit is flimsy as hell.. wait till you see it..  compare it to like the VIS stuff... that VIS stuff is hard as hell!  you can flex the bomex stuff..

hey you know what, i sell body kits real and fake and i've seen them all. seriously i have. but you know what? if you ever see a real bomex kit or even one made in Japan you know that the kit that you buy is worth it. direct fit and light weight compared to a bunch of copies ive sold/seen. dont let bomex fool you too. all their kits are made in japan and they are very thin. like thinner than what we make but becasue the quality and the time they spend to perfect the kit is so great (i think its the epoxy too) the kits wont break on you. i've actually ran over my old nismo kit after hitting a broken tire on the freewway. the only thing i did was have the screw holes repaired (and some other cracks) and have it repainted. the kits are tuff man. i recomend them. but sometimes dont listen to me. im using a fake s15 stock bumper as we speak. hahaha holla
