Pro & Cons of Fiberglass lip kits!!!

I just wanted to know what you guys think about fiberglass as lip kit, similar to the WW and OEM. There's a guy in my area that's selling one that identical to the OEM but its fiberglass. I know fiberglass cracks with ease but this is just a lip kit and its now that low to the ground.

Is there anything else I should know or I should ask the guy before purchasing? The price is a steel $450 CDN which is the main reason I'm remotely interested. Plus, my car is in the body shop getting a complete repaint and I could get the kit painted and installed for free.

Any and all opinions are welcome

Fit and finish with Fiberglass kits usually arent the best, they crack. Stick with the urethane kits

i have the OEM front, and fiberglass rear and sides. I don't scrape in the rear and sides so i'm not worried about cracking.
