flex fiber glass?

There is such thing as fiberglass that is flexible. I don't know how different the actual fiberglass is or the resin but I do know that they use less resin. Resin is almost like epoxy, it is very stiff and is why fiberglass is prone to cracking.

This kit is "flexible" but a big reason for that is because it is on the thin side. It does not add to the durability. I would not be concerned about anything but the front lip, the sides and rear don't matter nearly as much.

For me it's almost perfect. I'm sure if I played with the position more it would be a perfect fit.

Does it cover up the little line on the rear? I have yet to see it on a 01-02 without showing atleast some of the line. Mine ebay one physically fit but i didn't like the look.

If I pushed it up further I'm pretty sure it would. It didn't line up with the sides as well so I decided to have it angled down a little more.

That's exactly why I widened mine. Mine is fiberglass though so that makes it about a 1-2 hour job, not including cure time.
