Im getting a new front. I was wondering what was better.as in stronger and more durable. Fiberglass (hand laid 6-8 layers), or Urethane?

Urethane is. Urethane flexes and if you hit curbs or scrap badly, it will not crack and break like fiderglass will. Urethane is always better and usually more expensive. Also, you will need some kind of flex agent in the paint so it doesn't crack and end up look like my front bumper does at the moment due to the previous owner not getting a flex agent put in.

Urethane definitely!!
I've heard of racers who wipe during a race and mangle their front ends. They remove the front fascia, set it out in the sun so that it warms up and it'll return to its original shape. Try that with fiberglass!! LOL

That's pretty amazing. That's all I hafta say about that!

Urethane: rizz like u I have a 2+2, no body yet. Where did you get your bodykit? Is the whole kit Urethane or just the front? everyone else please answer also

currently mine is completely stock as far as body mods go.
I'm planning on the '99 fascia though. Beyond that, I haven't decided yet.
The Jdm fascia is urethane as well.

They also make knock off fiberglass jspec front ends...watch out for those.

at www.zcarparts.com if you look for body mods, you can find the combat body kit, an all urethane kit for around $800 w/o shipping, which I believe is unusually cheaper than most ground effects made in urethane, I'm looking into getting that later on.
