urethane is stronger, but is also heavier too.

urethane bodykits are stronger, they fit better, and just hellava lot better than shitty fiberglass..

Urathane = Heavy, flexible (so its not easy to crack, but not stable at high speeds)

Fiberglass = Light, stiff (Cracks and chips if you're prone to running into curbs and ****)

Urethane won't break as easily as Fiberglass.

remember almost all fiberglass bodykits require proffesional instalation cuz they wont fit very good. so unless you are good with working with fiberglass, then urethane

OEM plastic WOOT!

seriously, urethane will fold under too much drag, fiberglass will crack and break under very small pressure. so...neither is a very good choice if you're interested in performance at all.

i just bought a fiberglass oem replica oem kit for my rsx i havnt painted it or nothin yet or test fitted it, but its really though but it chips pretty easy
