Like Deserion stated, fiberglass is not forgiving like poly bumpers are... and a lot of the aftermarket fiberglass bumpers are lower to the ground or stick out more than the factory poly bumpers and are begging to be damaged by drivers like me (you may be more consciencious, I don't know).

With that said, there's a couple of bumpers I have looked at on eBay that I'm dying to put on my car and they're made from fiberglass!

BTW, a body shop can fiddle with fiberglass bumper covers endlessly to get them to fit beautifully; not so on a poly bumper. Of course, you pay per hour for the work they do that the manufacturer was too lazy to do themselves before they sold it to you.
