Default aftermarket JDM ITR front bumper cover questions

I've noticed that alot of the front bumper covers for the JDM ITR are fiberglass... aren't there any that are urathane or more like OEM material? Fiberglass is crap and I'll have none of it on my car- any help is appreciated... even those with negative comments

yep, the oem JDM ITR front bumper. the other non-oem JDM ITR front bumpers will obviously be a lesser quality material.

That's a good question...I always wondered if those bumpers are made of fiberglass!

cwest is glass, so is the mugen.. (which looks hideous!)

weight reduction, supposidly.

also cheaper manufacturing costs.

c-west and mugen make high quality fiberglass bumpers though.. i think they use polyfiber or something like that.. less likely to crack then regular fiberglass

I was looking on a site earlier today at the Cwest front- they said it's made from urathane- looks like that's the one to get then eh?

edit- http://www.motorex.net/cwest.html is where I saw it!

after closer inspection- I see it is FRP or fiberglass reinforced plastic... pliable yet light- hmmmm... oh well I'm going to order one. Just have to sell my front bumper and lip and she'll be mine
