Message	If your bumper is made out of fiberglass, won't it be more prone to crack, chip, or shatter if it is involved in even a small collision with say a shopping cart, etc.? Not trying to be a wise ass as I am not familar with the flex properties of fiberglass but it seems that it would not absorb minor impacts as well as the plastic/urethane bumpers.
