fiberglass is more likely to crack compared to urethane
so i would chose urethane

If urethane gets punctured our ripped it's un-fixable and it also tends to sag over a period of time

Fiberglass is better than urethane??? It takes a pretty hard impact to puncture/rip urethane. Theres a reason why you can ship a urethane bumper that's folded in half, or step on it without any damage. Even though fiberglass is repairable, w/ the cost of painting and repair, its usually just cheaper to get another bumper. Not to mention that the FRP bumpers that don't cost a ton (like the C-west) usually fit like cr*p. But I do agree w/ you that Intense is a good company and it's probably a good quality bumper they are selling. Just remember that it doesn't take much of an impact at all to crack fiberglass, then the 200 you saved over buying the urethane one goes out the door.

I already asked automotivemods if I could come pick up and he said he doesn't keep any parts in stock.. He said I would have to pay for shipping..

I got my rims from Automotivemods, and they were really easy to deal with.

As for the bumper, I don't know man. Fiberglass and urethane, its a toss-up.

What part of Miami are you in? Are there any meets any time soon with other G's?
