Kind of like the pot calling the kettle black though isn't it?
Besides, it's not like Nils was running a big shot of nitrous on an untuned car or something

Fiberglass sucks in general.
It will crack easily whenever something hard hits it. Its not recommended for bumpers or anything low on a car that may get hit on a daily basis. Spoilers and whatnot are fine, since you'll prob not drag your spoiler on a driveway...
But stay away from fiberglass bumpers or sideskirts.

You may be fine with side skirts. I ran fiberglass skirts on Chromie (the old ProDTM's). They were fine. But I never really like having fiberglass, and I got bored with them, which I got rid of them.

Fiberglass replicas -220
Real deal - 599
Still though.. Im too broke to afford anything better than the fiberglass ones. I hate fiberglass but we'll see how these hold up

My 2 cents: The main things wrong with fiberglass, providing the parts are quality, are dropped cars, bad suspensions, and bad drivers.

f/g aint all bad. cheap parts made frome cheap matting and resins with air bubbles and half ass cure times are bad. but a sound fiber glass part is really durable. but like o2 i like urethane for hi traffic parts like any thing below the hood. but the nice thing about glass is painting, urethane needs additives.
