Thats what it means..FRP, if you look on the inside of your front end and it is a ruff layer of fiberglass webbed cloth then it is a fiberclothed (resin) or as they call it plastic. (very breakable) not at all like rubberized urethane that you can flex or bend..

now im still confused, you'll have to excuse my dumness as i dont work for INGS nor do i make body kits for a living.
If hybrid is still made from fiberglass then what is FRP made from, is there a way to check if they sent me hybrid or FRP. i.e destinctive differences, coulor, anything at all.
i know this is pretty anoying but i have been stiched up befor when i bought a mazspeed kit

hybrid aero is a slightly more durable (flexible) fiberglass. I haven't discovered how to tell the two apart from testing the flexibility

"Thank you for your inquiry.
What the defference between Hybrid Aero and FRP is
Hybrid Aero is polyurethane.

[QUOTE=NgoRX8;2556503]hybrid aero is Ings+1 own mix. the material is more flexible than FRP.[/QUOTE]

add: lighter and more UV resistant ( and more expensive! )


BTW: I've checked our records for your Order and you were 100% shipped the HYBRID material

Likewise; I was concerned we had goofed, so I rechecked + we haven't

PM me + let me know when you are ready and I'll cut you a deal and let you know "how much and how soon" for the Kit!

I should correct myself to say that in order for a manufacturing company to advertise and market a product with two different composites of material , at least it should be in the best interest not to miss lead the customer with words like hybid or aero in order to pitch the idea their getting a quality product and be more specific in detail. I like maybe a few others may have questioned whether the word hybrid ment something else. I love the look of the INGS on my 8 and to this day think its the best, but it would be great to have a true urethane,flexible INGS to brag about......

I can't decide from this, and your original posting if :
(1)
Sounds like, by dealling with the other guys, you were a victim of fraud from your original posting; you ordered Hybrid ( quote a bit more expensive ) BUT you actually received FRP

If so; the manufacturer as they will want to know about this !

OR:

(2)

You ordered Parts described as "AERO" , expecting these to be Hybrid, when it wasn't actually described as such by the vendor, or their website

( which is a whole different ballgame )


Did you make any other kind of claim with that Order ( ? )
