Question Bodykit MATERIAL.what's the best?

I've got the people at creative auto giving me information on their NISMO replica front bumper.

They said it's made of FIBERGLASS.

Is this good, bad or ugly?

What's the best material to look for?

P.s. JIMMY you'll be happy to know that I requested pics of the unfinished bumper during installation and a finished product and they sent me a pic of your car!

haha sweet! i drove 2 hours to get that bumper so he took pics of it to show peeps the fitment. creative is cool man ...just dont expect 100% perfect fitment because thats just unrealistic with a replica.. your shop should be able to fix minor fitment issues

urethane body kit is the best.. it bounces back if dented.

fiberglass cracks, BUT it's SUPER easy to work with..

Does anyone know of a replica that's not fiberglass for the NISMO look?

Thanks!

Hybrid material that few companies use such as Ings is the best. It is as light as fiberglass, and as flexible and durable as urathane. Urathane is better than fiberglass because it is not easily damaged. With fiberglass, if you run into a bump, than it will crack. However, it is better to get replica kits in fiberglass since the fitment can easily be fixed with fiberglass kits, while it is very hard to fix urathane kits if they don't fit right the first time.
