I'm thinking you maybe thinking about the Hood and side fenders which I know some sell those in Fibreglass but the OEM is metal. The normal front end is made out of plastics.

OEM bumpers are urethane, are you thinking of the bumper reinforcement, that is metal.

He probably thinks that they are metal because people post stuff like "OEM Metal JDM ITR Conversion for sale.''

Is your front end OEM? Metal bodykits and lips. Puhahahaha

any fiberglass front body panel will chip or crack. your best choices are to get something like 3M stoneguard or get an OEM bumper.

They do make oem metal bumpers. If you have a truck
HAHAHAHAAH, sorry. I just had to say it.
OEM is urethane, but great quality. Fiberglass chips from impacts. DO what SAGA said, go get the Spoon Lip.
