looks really good. it looks cleaner without the towhook, but you'll never get to use it if something happens.

I am not sure, i haven't really worked with it. I think poly is harder to prep and stuff but it's more durable. It will bend and flex where as fiberglass will just break.

Nothing wrong with fiberglass. The reason why poly is the preferred choice is because of it's flexibility. I made a really dumbass mistake about a month ago where I didnt see a dip in the road and was speeding with out enough time to stop. I hit the dip and the worst happen was my bumper became mis aligned and the paint cracked in one corner.

If I had a fiberglass bumper, the outcome wouldn't have been so pretty. Either one is great and you should be hitting anything in the first place. You have a much better chance with you bumper staying in tack but at the same time, if you poly breaks, I believe it's b**ch to fix (don't quote me on that part).
