I can see rear bumper and side skirts would be okay. Unless you like backing into stuff.. front bumper in fiberglass is the worst. One cement parking cap and its game over.

This is just my opinion but I wouldn't put fiberglass on a car this nice. Even on rear bumpers I've seen pressure cracks because of fitment issues.

i would stay away from fiberglass personally. in the past, in my experience, they have a high tendency to crack, and they are very hard to get good fitment on because they dont like to move very much. in contrast to frp, which will give to allow the closest to factory fit and finish. just my 2 cents, GL either way

Do not do it if your not going to do it right (fiberglass is wrong!)
