Just wanted to know if anyone would like to see any new urethane kits. I like WW but it's just a little too simple for me. I really like the No Limit kit but it's way too expensive. I think it would be cool if someone could make a kit similar to No Limit. Anyway just a thought. What does everyone else think?

Would be nice but probably not gonna happen. Not too many companies are interested in a car that was only made for four years and no longer in production. For the most part the main people that would have purchased a kit for their car for the most part already has. I am not saying that I wouldn't ever switch kits. I definately would and would love to see more options(more options is never a bad thing), but I am just going from the standpoint of the companies that make products. I am just thankful for those out there that have made products for us. I would list names but I have a fear that I would leave someone out. However I would like to thanks specifically thank James, Craig, Intricate Lines, Topshop, Genuine58. They have been willing to take the extra step and do what they could to produce products specifically for our car.

Prob not.

To make a profit on a urethane kit do to manufacturing and tooling expenses the company needs to sell upwards of 500 units.

There are a lot of nice kits out there and I'm glad companies took the time to make them. I'm just leaning more towards urethane cause the roads here are really crappy and I'm afraid fiberglass would crack. I know some people have had no problems with fiberglass, but I guess I'm too chicken s**t to go that way.

well everything is workable if that is a word. Find a kit that you like doesn't even have to be for a cougar and get someone to fit it.

me and one of my friends put the Kaminari Kit on a integra. yeah I know it is fiberglass but it was an example that your imagination is limitless

You want crappy roads come on over here to Ohio. These roads are the worse in America!! They suck. I have had a fiberglass kit on my cougar now for over a year(and that includes driving it in the winter as well), and even though I have messed up my front 2 times neither one of them were from roads, but from one person not knowing how to drive and hitting me and the other one from Firestone not realizing that my front bumper won't clear the curb. What I am saying is that the roads are the least of your worries, as long as you are a careful driver and pay attention to the roads and watch your angles when pulling in and out of steep drivways.

There ya go. I drove around with the Drift front and dropped with no problems here, and the roads here aren't the best.

The Roush kit is really nice, but your chances of finding one are slim to none. Roush no longer sells it.

No longer does ebay sell the front valances, you have to buy the whole kit painted, according to the quantity there are 10 left in white, 5 rio red, and however many silver and yellow (not listed).

You have to buy it painted in one of those colors and then get it repainted if it isn't your color, even if there are tons. :)
