Default durability of REAL C-West kit??

Whats the durability of the REAL C-West bumper like. Is it better than your average Fiberglass? Anyone ever cracked one? Would it be ok with a daily driver? Most important, did you ever regret buying the C-West bumper?

It's pretty durable imo.

Cracked one? No. They are a little bit low however. Scrapped em, never cracked one. I had it as a daily driver, no regrets here.

i have the REAL C-west kit. i scrape it and bang it every day.. NO cracks.
and my car is slammed


i'll be taking the pic down soon because i dont like posting my car too much.
anyways, i took the bumper off recently and looked at the underside, NO signs of cracks.. only the paint has scraped off. strong as hell, i've also had a suitcase fall on it in my garage, and nothing.

its fiberglass... if u do a search, my roomate jus posted pics up of his car with the full cwest kit on his gsr. And he's runnin it as dailydriver, and i've seen plenty of crappy kits, but the cwest looks like it'll hold up pretty well. And its got great fitment.

its 3 stage / layer fiberglass.
to make sure its authentic, look on the inside of the bumper:
