I have a 97' c230 that i'm trying to make look like a c55 AMG. I am interested in the c43/c55 AMG body kit and i have 2 options. I can buy a fiberglass replica body kit at half the price of the real kit or I can buy the real kit that is made out of plastic. I've heard that plastic doesn't chip off like fiberglass and that it lasts longer and looks much nicer too. Is this true? <br>

Fiberglass cracks with excessive heat. Hit something hard, crack..

and most of the time, fit isn't perfect so modifications by the body shop have to be made. <br> <br> Stick with OEM if you can afford it.
