Topsecret are you still crying? I knew I heard whining somewhere...
I wont even comment because we have been there and you'll probably mail me another letter about it which again will go to the wrong address

*edit*
I've gone through 3 OEM bumpers because they couldnt be repaired... but my fiberglass kit stayed with me through out all the abuse. Also, if FG was so bad, then why are there cars out there (like the corvette) that have a full fiberglass outer body shell?

Not calling you a liar but i wouldnt believe it unless it happened to me
.i'm not saying there's anything wrong with FB, i'm just saying the properties of fiberglass are such that they don't allow for much flex, and would rather crack than flex.
