basically urethane is stronger and more durable so those cars which are slammed to the ground want urethane because if they had fiberglass it would crack a lot and then you would have to get those cracks repaired everytime. urethane will just get scratched a lil bit but you could always have that repainted

fiberglass is lighter cheaper and urethane is heavy way more durable and more expensive. vis racing uses a new material i forgot what its called but very very flexible. it on there site and theres video of a rsx reversing in to a rim and tire and you can see the bumper cave in a nd come back out

damn it looks so good man!
btw, there are different levels of fiberglass, some company's have very strong fiberglass, others use shitty fiberglass.

its not that fiberglass is weak, but it breaks because its a brittle material. urethane is very flexible, hence bending and not breaking.
