so then how long does fiberglass last if i would paint and install it?

yes its more expensive now, but my front lip (its actualy REALLY low compaired to kits) has been on my car for over a year and its just got a few scratches on it. almost every one of my friends that went fiberglass has spend over 2 grand on new fronts, reas, paint, repaint(fiberglass dosnt take well to paint if not preped and sprayed well), they;ve gone weeks without front bumpers, always worried about breaking it, i can almost roll mine up on a curb, back off wipe the dirt off and you cant even tell. no scratches or anything(only done that 2 times since i've owned it) and steep driveways i sometimes scrape a little, and it flexes when its just too steep, fiberglass would just crack. a freidn of mine bought a fiberglass kit for a preldue, he offered me $100 to trade and he's paint his black because it was such a PITA. i have 2 friends besides me that went with urathane fronts or whole kits, none have had a SINGLE problem. pay a little more now, or pay ALOT later.
