Default Body kit question

I have seen tons of body kits out there for the Mustang, they range from Nice to Rice and I have one basic question. WHich is better the urethane bumpers or the Fiberglass ones. I thought the stock one is urethane and it allows it to be more flexible. Also I am in love with the Stalker kit and they are urethane. Let me know the pros and cons other than the fiberglass ones are cheaper.

I made the mistake with fiberglass. go urithane. You can do the fiber for wings and hoods but dont, dont use it for anything close to the ground. On top of that fiberglass sucks with the fitting. Urithane you can bend to fit, fiberglass will just break or crack. stalker kit is nice but look into alittle of everything like me. there are tons of people out there with one whole kit and it gets old. But if you have alittle of this and alittle of that its like a one of a kind kit and it stands out. IMO

Definitly go with urethane, basically what 99 said with urethane if you scrape or hit the bumper it will bend and give a little without breaking. A fiberglass bumper cover will just crack and break. My buddy has an integra[:'(] and he put on a fiberglass kit, it didn't fit at all, so instead of just heating it and bending it like with urethane, the shop had to break the side skirt and fit it then do custom fiberglass work to fit it back together it cost him $$$$$$$[] Plus the stalker kit looks awesome, get it!!!
