it is not as flexible as urethane and more prone to cracking. be careful with scraping and **** if your car is dropped. You may also need to get it molded onto your car by a body shop as it might not fix exactly.

My take is spend the extra $$$$ on a urethane front facia. If not, then your front will eventually look like every riced out import on the street (cracked front, many chip marks, etc) It's much harder for the body shop to fit a fiberglass facia on your car compared to urethane. But it's your car, so do what you have to do.

If you let your friend drive your car again you will be looking for another bumper again.

you will get what you paid for! Get at least a urethane front fascia. It will save you buttloads of time trying to get a fiberglass one to fit. And make sure you get it painted at a good paint shop too. No need in wasting your money on a bad paint job.

Cheap isnt always the cheapest way to go in the long run, you will have to pay extra to prep and paint a ****ty quality part than a nice one.

I would go with a roush front because seems the fit on their products are great. Most people say saleen needs some serious help to fit and can get quite costly.

If you want saleen you can get it off their website or there are other places but im not sure the addresses.

I just replaced my cracked cobra R front bumper with a Saleen kit and the urethane is like extreme rubber and will never crack and as far as i know saleen is the only company that makes the urethane version. It will take a long time to make it fit right tho. I got mine off speedworx.com for 1200 and it included all the decals, screens, and badges plus a free s281 wing but i opted for the side scoops
