Mugen front bumper help

hi all. I am getting a full mugen replica kit and was wondering where I should get the front bumper from. VIS makes a fiberglass one and Duraflex makes one as well.which should I go with?what has better fitment and what would be the advantages/disadvantages to having fiberglass as opposed to the duraflex?I am having this professionally painted and fitted but obviously if i get one with good fitment then the labor cost will be slightly lower.Thanks for any imput

umm...could you elaborate please?are you saying the fiberglass isnt as good?if so that seems odd since a lot of ppl use VIS products so you would think they would use a good material.

fiberglass = u hit a bump you have a nice crack. duraflex and polyurethene are a hell of a lot better because they bend

How could you not know that? Fibreglass is fukn annoying to replace and fix especially if you are low or if you just tap something it is cracked.
