well my obsidian kit is fiberglass and i already scraped the front bumber a few times and it did hit kinda hard. not hard enough to crack it, which surprised me cuz fiberglass sucks for body kits. but yea, my bumber is still intact.

Based on experience...
Fiber glass: its cheap... takes alot of money to make it flush with your body and prone to damages... even though you baby your car... drive slow... you still end up chipping it by going down a driveway or ramp that you cannot avoid... its sux...
Urethane: flexible scrap the $h!t out of it and nothing withh happen except for scuffs..

I would say get a urethane front... and everything else fiberglass.. I'm guessing that ur lowered right? cuz if ur rollin stock high... might as well run full fiber or carbon

body kits that extend alot are never a good idea for daily driving, imo

it's gonna be a pain in the **** to keep it nice and alot of work needs to go into it in order to make it look nice in the first place.

so... I'd say you're better off going with a lip kit instead...

also, it depends on how low you're dropped, the places you'll be driving (lots of big **** dips around where I live)
