basscrazy, when i fully smoothed in a prowler kit a few months ago i made loads of brackets which attached to bumpers/skirts/arches then they attached to the car and brackets along all the joins aswell, it certainly worked because the lad has hit a few kerbs and theres still no cracks showing

i agree if u make loads of brakets etc and stop all flex then it wont crack for while, i just think something somewhere will crack sometime when everything is smoothed

it will obviously eventually crack, but i used fibreglass matting and resin over the joins and underneath too, then used fibrefill, then filler over the top, just tried to make it last as long as possible really
