Long time no see Captain

I've decided to go FB on my kit car here. Hundred times easier to prep for a perfect & flush installation (a-la-factory-perfection!). Poly comes as-is and complicated to adjust if the fit is not 100% perfect. And they cost twice more if I'm correct. FB is easily repairable in case of a minor accident, poly is also but not as easy and cheap as the FB.

Unless you know the poly product fits like a glove and you have seen it, go for poly. If you only have a confirmation from the seller (but haven't seen it in person), drop the poly idea and go for FB for that "100% certain" perfect fit.

At last, FB is "heavy". If you go this way please buy from a reputable manufacturer only. No-no cheap ones (those are the heavy/thick ones)
