Fiberglass is fine. Just dont hit stuff (it cracks) and youll be fine. Make sure you buy good quality fiberglass tho.

While you may be able to stop yourself from hitting things, what you can't stop is things (rocks) from hitting you. I've seen bad spider cracks in fiberglass lips (and even carbon fiber hoods too) from rocks.

Polyurethane is much more durable and IMO well worth the money, problem is there are not too many urethane kits out there..
