All modern cars use polyurethane bumper covers and fascias. Should give you a hint to how strong it is.

poly fiber doesn't sound very structurally sound....
i'd just save and stick with polyurethane.

I once saw a mitsu eclipse in my local junkyard that had fiber bumpers. They both had huge cracks and holes in them. From what I could tell, the car was junked because of a blown engine, not an accident. They arent really long lasting, and I wouldnt spend money on them, assuming I ever kitted one of my cars...

Save your money and buy something better. You'll spend more money fixing the cheap body kit than you would spend if you bought the more expensive one the first time.

Sometimes spending more money is a good thing, doesn't cost you so much in the long run.

The saying "You get what you pay for" is a very true statement.

When Buying Body Kits Dont Buy Anything Fiber (fiberglass, polyfiber, And So On)....They Are Stiff, And Will Crack, Break....While Polyurethane, And Will Bend And Flex To The Car And Will Hold Up To Alot Better, Wont Break Or Chip Going Over Speed Bumps....
