thats what happens when you use the propper ammounts of resing against fiberglass and NO bondo at all. :) nice product BUT why?? i mean if you paint it? and um well if it breaks?? doesnt mean its indestructible just because it flexes.

well im planning on getting the kmax kit and was wanting something that could atleast take a little bit of a impact without cracking. i mean i know that the paint paint would crack but if the kit could withstand some impact that would be great. ALSO wondering about the fitment of the KMAX kit from krazykustomz does any one have experience with there products that they would like to share.

I've done Fiberglassing on a few occassions and I've never had anything that could flex like that but I can trust you on that 1 hgallegos because I'm a beginner, and you're not.

I thought from the looks of it that it could be a good product, But the only thing that bothered me is how much would it flex during high speed driving? If someone can bend it with 2 hands like that, imagine what windforce will do to it while driving? I'm just afraid of paint cracking from too much flex...

I used Marine Text to mold in the MS sides flares. Holds wonderful, and flexes awesome...
