Wow, you have some misinformation!

Urethane is normally MUCH better than fiberglass with body kits. First off, the urethane bumpers are A LOT more durable than their fiberglass counterparts. If you hit something with it, normally it will pop back into place (kind of like a rubbermaid trash can) and all you have to do is paint it. Fiberglass will actually BREAK and you have to replace the entire bumper. Also, fitment is normally a LOT better since urethane is harder to work with and the companies producing the body kits have put a lot more time and effort into fit and finish. A good fiberglass body kit takes about 10 or so layers to make the bumper (or any body panel) sturdy enough to endure some road abuse---this in turn makes the body kit heavy. Also, most body shops HATE working with fiberglass because the prep time is higher than dealing with a urethane pieces.

The drawback is that urethane body kits cost more- sometimes double the price.

Polyfiber kit- the revolutionary new poly fiber combining the best from urethane and fiberglass into one material. These kits have oem like fitment.They also require little to no prep work .

Anyone heard of this new material? What is this about?
