FRP - Fiber Reinforced Plastic

I always question the choice of fiberglass on a bumper; its an area of the car that takes most of the road abuse.

nice, but fiberglass is the worst for front bumpers. CF, ABS or composite is the best and I know M's machine wks, Techart, SpeedArt, and Gemballa all use fiberglass. Ive had nothing but headaches with fiberglass. Thats why I didnt get the front bumper. Modified the stock one with the GT3 grill.

frp aren't always a bad thing, there are some highly noted tuners out there that uses fiberglass bumpers, tech... rins... bra... lor..., i just depends on the craftsmanship. would i take fiberglss over poly-uerthane, hell no, but if there was no other choice, and the quality was good, i'll be all over it. but i won't just say no because it's fiberglass, i'm just blabbing here.
