Default Thinkin about puttin a blitz front bumper on my car would 5oz. fiberglass break easy????

My car got hit by a friend so he has to buy me a whole new front end with his insurance and i was thinkin about puttin a aftermarket bumper on but people keep tellin me oh dont do that they break or crack when u barely touch somthin....so if i put a blitz front bumper on will it break really easy???

thanks

yes because they are usually only fiberglass. which suck. you will definetly have problem depending on where you buy it with fitament. You are gonna need to have it modified to fit perfectly. So IMO i would not do it. Plus i guess im alittle bias toward them as well because i hate the look of the blitz. I think the two best looking fronts on those cars are the shine street lip and the wings west lip

well if you're cars lowered then i wouldn't bother because aftermarket ones will crack easily if you hit a pothole or just bottom out. so you'll end up replacing it after a while, so if it's worth it to you then go for it. IMO i like the stock bumper with a lip on it, looks nice and clean

if by duraflex you mean urethane, then yes it will stand better to cracking
