urethane also allows for less rock chips. with fiberglass, you will end up with hundreds end up paying more to repaint it. fiberglass is a decent material, but not for front bumpers

I think kaeon should have some say, it is his design, and he should get a free, or at cost one too

it will always matter. fiberglass is more likely to have rock chips because of the hardness of the material. you can use flex agents to help stop it, but it will happen more then urethane. i have been building various cars and helping friends build show cars for a little over 8 years.

streetconcept:
why not use urethane if people are willing pay for it? sure the molding process is different, but it is a little easier to make a kit.

I know I'm probably like the millionth person to say this, but I'll say it anyway...

Please make it in urethane! It'd be a real shame to see such a clean design go the way of fiberglass.

Oh and like many of the others said, I WOULD be willing to pay more for urethane as well.
