the fiberglass bumpers arent that much heavier than the stock ones...i believe my front only weighs 12lbs...and the rear weighs 15lbs....sideskirts.....probably under 10.. i dont think that kind of weight will noticably slow you down. and where i got my kit from is $269 plus shipping. not expensive at all.

Fiberglass cracks easily though....so, still not a good buy in my opinion. But it is different strokes for different folks.

yea i hear ya Das... but i guess ive been used to fiberglass kits since i had my Neon. but you do have me thinking though...the stock look on a neon with just the lip does look pretty aggressive...

I still love your body kit and would take it over stock bumpers anyday. Looks more aggressive IMO.
