they have buddyclub and BW kits in urethane now. xenon kits are also urethane and fit perfectly. ive got a xenon urethane front bumper. they come w/ life time warranties from warping and whatnot... i got it cuz it looked nice and no one else has it and its not made in fiberglass....yet and also cuz its durable.
you should be fine w/ a fiberglass kit if your arent dropped too low and know your way around.

if u want to be repainting ur front end every year or two then go for fiberglass
i got a fiberglass front end on my sis's car
she scraped a couple times, it didnt do anything, just scratches on bottom, but she drives normally and doesnt speed much and still she had hundreds of little chips all over the front end in about a year and a half
our local body shop guy that we know told us the bumper was cracked in a couple places too! I didnt even see any cracks
but its costlier in the log run if u know how to drive
if ur a dumass who doesnt know how to drive and keep hitting stuff then go with fiberglass since u can just goto the local bodyshop and they can work their bondo magic on it and make it looking like new again

Urethane fits better than fiberglass....True that fiberglass is easier to fit, but for the long run, just get urethane... Try kicking your oem front bumper and also try kicking fiberglass bumper. which one will have more damage?
