The kits that chip and spidercrack are the fiberglass kits. If you get a urethane kit, it'll should be fine. Some people have been saying that in the extreme heat lately, that the urethane has been warping. The problem is that urethane is rather expensive so most manufacturers are going with 'glass. Supposedly 'glass takes paint better. If you're looking to drop your car, get urethane for the front and rear and 'glass for the side skirts. Best way to do it.

Urethane

Fiberglass

Fiberglass can crack easily.. ( from what I read but I have urethane)

Urethane is good you'll get those spider veins if you hit sometihng hard enough but my friend hase a urethane kit and he backed into one of those poles at the gass staion and as he pulled away from it it poped back in place It was cool but now he has those veins... They're really just stress marks.

GO WITH URETHANE!! YOUR CAR WILL THANK YOU!!

urethane won't crack or chip...it's like rubber almost...but harder..

Urethane for sides( reason because they gonna mold that in, and that abuse on the sides skirts later on)
Fibreglass for front and rear...Unless you wanna do Urethane (I think Urethan is better on Lips and addons....)

It's probably gonna be hell to find the one you want in urethane if it never was made in urethane...
