Fiberglass SS Tahoe bumper that bad?

[Bass911]

I know a guy that has one but it is all fiberglass. Is it worth it for $180 or should I spend $375 for the Street Scene Urethane Bumper?

The urethane is definitely a better choice. The paint on the fiberglass will chip easier from rocks and road debris. And because it doesn't flex, it's a PITA to install over your existing stock bumper around the edges and it will crack before it flexes if you bump into something, unlike the urethane.

Fiberglass on the front point of the vehicle... Doesn't sound practical. That would crack so easy if you were to swipe a pole or something.

sat away from fiber. I had one on a car before, I hit some already dead road kill. Raccoon. It Broke a hole almost the size of the raccoon going like 50mph. Theres no flex with fiber glass so paint will chip and crack very easily. Ever see a cheap body kit on a Honda? They are always cracked, paint cracked and flaking.

What everyone has already said. If you are going to do a cool mod, spend the extra 200 bucks in my opinion.

Ok, thanks everyone! I'll go Urethane.
