My experience has told me that urethane is a lot more durable than fiberglass. When I was running a T2K bodykit, I ran into curbs and bottomed out on the street without any structural damage to the bumpers. I've seen and known people with fiberglass kits that couldn't even stand the slightest abuse; the bumpers cracked easily, and the fit seemed terrible. Most urethane kits I've seen fit pretty well. However, you can fix fiberglass. You can also fix urethane with something called plastic welder (someone on here mentioned it before), but I think it's harder to find someone who can fix urethane than fiberglass.

all depends on where u do your driving at....i'd say spend the extra money on the urathane because the fiberglass kits dont usually fit well and are easy to break
