Body kit materials
What are body lots made of other than fiberglass? I dont want a fiberglass kit as they will be too brittle.
The accolade kit is like a black rubber composite? Fexible?
Is carbon fiber stiff or flexible?

If you get a good quality kit, the fiberglass will not be brittle..
But there is poly-urethane, FRP, and ABS plastic... there may be more, but that is what I can think of off the top of my head.
Carbon Fiber is stiff... and expensive... It may have some flex in it, but to my knowledge.. very very very little.

there is also Metton. afaik Mazdaspeed is the only thing that uses this material unfortunately. It is fairly light, extremely durable/flexible and apparently whe its molded properly doesnt warp so fitment is spot on
