After Market Body Kits?

Hey guys!

So I got rear ended and got sandwiched in between two cars, my bumpers are both totaled and I want to get an after market kit. Do you guys have any good recommendations for websites that can provide good quality kits?

My friend suggested raceonusa.com and I wanted to install this kit...

...only thing is that the rear piece only fits for wagons.

Does anyone know another website where I can probably get the full kit or just the rear piece in the same style as the site posted?

Thanks in advance!

Can anyone verify that these kits are good?
Probably on a scale of quality, durability, fitment?

If you could tell, I'm not really a fan of fiber glass.

Well I noticed that the Bekkers site had a big price difference.

Are the oem parts made of abs plastic?

Is there anyone out there that has actually bought a full kit and has experienced the durability that closely resembles the oem standards?

My AMG Gen 2 authentic kit is made of polyeurethane. Much stronger than fibreglass or plastic reinforced fibreglass.

PS I have AMG mono IIs for sale - 17x7.5 ET35 with 215 45 17 dunlop graspic winter tires....$800+shipping from Vancouver Canada.

I have a fibreglass kit, fitment was a *****, cost me a pretty penny, but I have no complaints with the quality, and I'm amazed by how durable the kit has been.
Front bumper is mint, rear bumper mint also, and I've had the kit for 3 years or so, the only problem is slight spider web like cracking on one of the sideskirts, (it looks like the paint is cracking, not sure if it is the actual side skirt with a problem). Probably from the few times I've had to go over a steep incline, my car is lowered and with the kit, going from flat grade to a steep abrupt angle is bad, so it would be no wonder if the sideskirt is cracked and I wouldn't blame it on quality.
