Urethane is the best material.
Strong and Durable.

this is my opinion on fiberglass. i hate it. cracks and its a pain in the ass to fix. the main reason i have the jdm bodykit and not the usdm one is because the jdm one is urethane.

authentic mugen fiberglas is much stronger and more durable then the replica fiberglas (hense why it costs so much more ). im thinkin its thicker fiberglass or more layers or w/e

damn that fucn sucks. do any of you know when a usdm urethane version of the mugen lip will come out? cuz i dont feel like buyin fiberglass then all of a sudden get it all fucked up. ya know. do any of you know what our stock bumpers are made out of? and what do you mean by crarck. does it crack on its own, by the weather or by bumpin in to this like speed bumps?

I haven't heard anything about a usdm urethane mugen lip coming out, there is a "replica mugen lip" on ebay made out of urethane but it doesn't really look anything like the real thing in the picture. As far as I know there are no body kits for our car made out of urethane except going the jdm route.

Fiberglass will naturally crack on its own (by crack I mean spider web like cracks will form in the paint) even if you don't hit anything, not to mention if you do hit something the durability is no where near that of urethane, and to answer your question our stock bumper is made out of urethane as well.
