All Wings West kits are made of urethane...I believe that they are the only company that makes genuine urethane body kits.

OEM isn't Urethane..it's supposed to be some material that's even better than Urethane..

OEM is made of the same stuff the plastic body panels (e.g. rear bumper) is made out of. It's a form of injection molded plastic IIRC. Beats the snot out of fiberglass

Oh really? I didn't know that!


I always knew the OEM's material was better quality than any fiberglass, so I assumed it was urethane.

Well, even better then!

Yeah. It may be urethane, but the OEM kit is made in the same process the other plastic panels are, and they are painted in the same manner too.

OEM kit is made out of a special type of plastic...it allows the shape to be nicely molded like fiberglass but has the tinsel strength of urethane...but unlike urethane it won't bend and will not warp under heat.

OEM kit is the best of both worlds. Second best is urethane and lastly fiberglass.

i thought of the WW lineup, the RS kit is the only urethane kit for prelude.. the rest are fiberglass... ?

Have you guys ever paid attention to the OEM plastic parts. Don't be fooled. They are not painted. They are wrapped with a colored film. Hence they never got the silver to match.
