urethane's generally better for street driven cars, but more extravagant designs are fiberglass exclusives

urethane is what your stock front and rear bumper are made from, they can also take more damage than fiberglass. they can flex and not crack and are just more durable. as to fiberglass, if you hit a bump its broken.
