Message GTZ-R looks good, the pieces themselves (front/rear) will cost about $900 shipped, then you probably want side skirts, door fillers and a nose piece to complete the look so that will be at least another $500.

Then add the price to properly prep, paint, and fit the pieces and you have the real price. This is not where you want to skimp because you want it done right (baking the urethane, adding proper flex additives, using enough coats & clear coats, lining up edges and modifying if necessary). If the install is poor you will pay more to fix it then doing it right the first time.

Fibgerglass - lighter, much more prone to cracking, japanese kits are better quality than their knockoffs but will still crack, most cheaper kits are fiberglass

Urethane - durable (paint will come off if scraped or hit but not crack/shatter like fiberglass), heavier, less choices, more expensive usually
