Canada Bodykit, fiberglass/urethane?

alright, so I'm going to get myself a body kit. Tom's Rear and Sideskirts, and a Border front piece. For the front piece, is it worth the extra money to get it one made out of Urethane more so then Fiberglass? I've never put any kind of body kit on a car before, and I heard that fiberglass cracks pretty easy. Any info on this would be great.

if you live were cold weather can be a pain then i would recommend spending the extra on urethane if your gonna have to drive it. just make sure when you get it painted that you use the flex paint othwise it will crack much more easily.

well urethane has its up and downs too. most people get fg because its easier to fix when you crack it. but with urethane it tends to warp and wont get back into shape after it is damaged. and once its warped...cant fix it anymore.
