FRP vs Fiberglass
Which one would you choose given they're about the same price. I don't have experience with FRP so I do not know. But I heard they're very flexible and strong like fiberglass.
FYI: FRP = Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic.
Thanks

for what? bumper? lip spoiler? sex toy?
if it's for a body kit i'd avoid plain fiberglass unless you want to replace it every time you mis judge a driveway/pothole/object in the road/ ect

While FRP is more flexible than fiberglass... it's still inferior to urethane when it comes to resisting bumps and scrapes.
With a big enough hit, FRP will splinter like fibreglass.
So for bumpers and especially lip spoilers, urethane is still the best material IMO.
