Meh, if I was going to get a FG bumper, maybe, but I'm going with a new OEM bumper and the GT lip kit done with Rhinolining and 3M Clearbra, NO CHIPS/CRACKS FTW!

fiberglass wont crack/chip etc. if its prepped and done right, with high quality fiberglass.

the reason most peoples kits crack (not just on here) is because people get cheap kits, and get it painted on a cheap budget.

Not going to get into the argument with you here Nate, but that's just bullshit.

My OEM BUMPER has tons of chips in it from the desert life. The Evo bumper on the RD1, really high grade FG that fit very well, was chipped to shit.

I've yet to see a FG bumper that doesn't crack when hit. Hell, even Java's bumper cracked pretty bad, he's got the MPS one, and that was nice. When it was vipers car, the front bumper SHATTERED.

Meh, your welcome to have your opinion about FG bumpers, even if you ARE wrong.
