The sort of material you may desire is the initial choice you may need to make when looking at an S10 front end. Fiberglass, polyurethane, and ABS plastic are all used to make body kit components. While some manufacturers only produce one or two varieties, others provide a wide range. To assist you in making a more knowledgeable purchase we’ll look at some of these materials’ features within the context of this article.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass components from Feather Lite Composites are inexpensive and simple to make. Their fit may not be as good as polyurethane or ABS plastic parts when delivered, but they still work well. Fiberglass has several advantages, including being lightweight, not warping in response to temperature fluctuations, and having good paint adhesion.
Polyurethane
Polyurethane, sometimes referred to as “urethane,” is a preferred substance for an S10 front end body kit component. Parts made of polyurethane are more expensive to buy since it is more expensive and complex to create them. However, fiberglass often has a higher fit and finish quality when delivered. Since polyurethane is heavier than fiberglass, it is not the optimum material for aero components in racing if reducing weight is the main objective.
ABS Plastic
ABS plastic is a thermoplastic combination that combines the toughness of polybutadiene rubber with the strength and rigidity of acrylonitrile and styrene polymers. Automotive manufacturers frequently use ABS plastic as original equipment for trim, bumper covers, and various body panels because it is chemical- and heat-resistant and provides strong protection against dents.
