justv wait till someone hits it or you clip something
fibreglass has no flex so instead of flexing and scratching in an incident it will just crack and break

Yep my cousin has a bodyshop and he said if there is not a ABS version of the bumper you want then all means go for fibreglass / Reniforced Fibreglass. But he said ABS is the best you can get so get it if you can. People dont realiase how much bumpers actually flex when at speed
