Question Third Gen - Euro Lip / Bumper Cover

Have any one tried to get a hold of this bumper cover on the US third gens? I think looks very good!

I wonder if this is only applicable to shorter J-spec bumpers.

There is NO replacement for authentic JDM parts. That front bumper cover from Erebuni is fibrglass versus the REAL DEAL JDM which is Urethane!

Well, besides one being made of fibrglass and the other of urethane, nothing! LOL!
Seriously thou, fibrglass is composite made up of glass fibres. Even thou it looks the same as Poly (aka urethane), it is still glass and far less durable. For instance, if you bump into a parking curb with a fibrglass bumper, youll likely crack it.
Urethane on the other hand is a plastic. It is the same material that your factory bumpers are made of. So, if you run into a parking curb with it, it likely just scrape.
Also, if you get hit with a FG bumper, itll probably shatter. A poly one will squish (like a pop can) and if your car isnt a write-off, a body shop can simply hammer the "dents".
FG bumpers are good for show only vehicles, non-winter vehicles and well, vehicle that have perfect driving conditions 95% of the time.
For an everyday daily driver, its is worth the money to get poly. Just think of what hitting a rabbit will do to a FG bumper!!!
