Is it?? i mean its up to $400 or $500 bucks cheaper and when you have to get everything painted and put on which is gonna cost $1000 to do it right whats the big deal? i know urethane is better b/c it stands up to roadkill and rocks better. just looking for opinions. i am tite with my money so if something will save me $500 i am a happy man. PEACE!

Itll save you money short term but when you have to repaint that bumper becasue you got spider webs because of a rock or you got to replace the FG bumper that saved you money a few months back youll be saying the same thing. FG sucks. If your car is a carpet queen or maybe even a weekend driver then go for it but if its a daily driver i wouldnt.

FG v's urethane is like comparing a Pinto with a modern Civic. Sure the pinto is cheaper and will get you places but it will also break down, or explodes on you, will end up paying a lot more.

i have a fiberglass kit, ive almost tore the front off 3 times going in to parking lots and never had it crack or chip or anything.There is certain grades of fiberglass. If you car is lowered alot i say go with urethane if not, FB is good for me.
Yeah...I agree with RedDragon333...Go urethayne. I was gonna go with FG because I really liked the kit, but after further investigating the pros and cons having FG towards Urethayne...I'm gonna go Urethayne...Especially for us H-Towne peeps...our roads suck!

another question...do those who have FG kits, do you have a lot of problems? do you wish that you would have gotten urethene instead?
