urethane one. i had a fb full body kit including fenders and about a month after putting it on -prep, fitment, self-paint- it was cracking up. i lost half my rear bumper on a rainy night and there was nothing i could do. it had started cracking on the way home from houston (40 min drive) and i stopped and try to find a way to stop it but nothing. halfway home i heard it, looked in my mirrror and saw it crunching and bouncing on the road. Stick WITH URATHANE. I had a cobra r bumper, colt sideskirts, z3 fenders, and a saleen rear. got it from one of the sites that deals with Duraflex ****. all theyre crap is BS and they poorly ship your items. all that i just named off came in one bowed out box that was 4 and a halfft tall and 3 wide. everything had blemishes and chips. "Not our fault." considering half the messed up peices were on the inner part of the box not the outer

I would stay away from Fiberglass parts. Even in the small chance that the part got to you and fit properly. I promiss you 3 years from now it will look like ****. Go Urethane or you will be sorry later. just my .02
