I think fibreglass is ok but you really have to be careful with them because they are so fragile and crack so easily. In fact i think it's just a matter of time before they do.

The glass kits still looks the same on the outside but it is week. I nicked a curb and had to replace my whole bumper. It just ripped off! My friend nicked the curb with his urathine bumper and had to touch up his paint. Go with the urathine. Or just dont drive in parking lots...

If you can't afford the whole kit, just buy one peice at a time.

did you ever think that the kits that you might have seen were not bolted onto the car properly? (didn't support the kit well)

I couldn't be more pleased with the fit of my kit.(urethane)
Unless you pay top dollar for a fiberglass kit, nothing is going to beat the fitment and durablity of a good quality urethane kit.

Like I said before......going along the 401 west in the left lane(expess lanes)......going with the flow of traffic (120Km)........ passed over the big bridge that is west of the 404/DVP.........there is a big dip in the road........heard the front lip scrap, as well as the side that are just in front of the rear wheels......I thought "****!!".......got to work and checked...... Everything was . Just lost a little paint from the underside of the kit.

If I had a fiberglass kit, I would probaly had to go back and pick up my front and sides.

Ask Agent Orange what happened to his front bumper that WAS made of fiberglass. :cry:

The way I see it ... is that you get what you pay for ... Almost like if you purchase a nice pair of expensive Nike shoe vs. a pair of no name brand shoe from Walmart. Most likely the Nike shoe will last much longer.
