Fiberglass or Urethane?

why is fiberglass so cheaper than Urethane? Which one is better to get? If i got a Fiberglass kit what would most likely happen to it rather than me getting a urethane kit?

fiberglass can get cracked if something happen while urethane is flexible....urethane can take a better beating

If your carefull glass is not that huge of an issue, just gotta pay very very close attention to the road because a little hit and it's cracked. It can be fixed easily tho.

urethane is what most cars factory bumper covers are made out of. go with it. fiberglass breaks way too easy.

FG is cheaper but easier to repair. Urethane can take more of a beating but is more difficult to repair but will rarely ever need to be.

Don't be cheap and get fiberglass if your roads are crappy, cause in the long run, you will regret it. doesn't matter if your the most careful driver in the world, **** happens.
