Default FiberGlass

Whats goin on everyone. I have a 2002 gt and i want to put on bodykit on . I found a site that sells a lot of really sweet kits but they are all in fiberglass. I really wanted A urithane kit(not sure how to spell). The point is that i wanted to know if you guys out there with fiberglass are haveing major problems like them shattering er anything. I heard they dont do well in heat and i live in Los Angeles Cali.

The worst part about fiberglass is that it doesnt flex as well as urethane does and it cracks easier. Other than that, fitting fiberglass kits is teh lose, as it it sucks. If you like it, then get it. If your paying someone to prep, install, and paint I would get the urethane though. Just think about that front bumper if you pull up to close to a curb... urethane will usually hold up pretty well, but not fiberglass...

Fiberglass also doesnt hold the pain nearly as well as polyurethane kits do so they start chipping as soon as anything touches them.
