However, the GT-Four front bumper is made out of poly-urethane. It's not a body kit but it's an upgrade to your existing bumper. wink.gif

Some authentic kits made in Japan are made of urethane. But expect to pay a pretty penny for one of these...

it depends on the make quality, but fiberglass is surprisingly strong depending on how it was structured, and well it was made.

Fiberglass bumpers cracking due to small rocks? Highly unlikely. Running over a tire may cause crack (and possibly rip off) your bumper. Small rocks won't do anything but cause rock chips...

neither fiberglass or polyureathane should be damaged by small rocks. thing to keep in mind with poly.. If you break it - you need a new one, its very hard to fix. also if you bend it too far the paint will spiderweb out and need to be repainted.

fiberglass will break a little easier than poly but it's still kinda hard to do.. and it's easier to fix if you do bust it.

I personally perfer fiberglass cuz its easier to modify than poly is.

sheat.... fiberglass will crck a hella alot easier then poly, my buddie, has fiberglass and had a car back into him, i mean a bump, and it cracked, and my bro has poly, and you can nearly beta it up, wont do anything, but maybe just maybe bend, and for th apint, depends how good of paint, and how it was painted, if its a good paint, and good paint job it wont be a problem..
