What are the options?  I've seen urethane and fiberglass.  What are the pros/cons to each material.  I noticed that the price for a urethane kit is more than a fiberglass... I've been told that urethane will hold up better against impact.. this true? worth it?  Since the rex needs a new front bumper, I'm shoppin around.  Thanks!

Urethane is what alot of cars come with stock anymore.  Fiberglass will be easier to break however its lighter and cheaper.  Urethane is a bit more expensive but going to be sturdier in the long run of things.

yea Steel got that one

one thing you can also keep in mind, with fiberglass you can repair the kit if you break it. hell you could do it yourself if you know how to lay fiberglass. i dont know of a way to fix a urethane.
