ABS or Poly Eurthene (spelling). Do not get fiberglass imo. Never fits right, cracks and is generally a big pain in the add |

That's fine. Plastic is a good choice. I would buy a fiberglass bumper if it were from a reputable company. If it were Hamann or Rieger, sure. Fiberglass is very easily repaired. Probaly wouldn't touch stuff with no name from ebay unless it's a great deal. |

are you sure painted because that would cost more? or do you mean they slap a carbon fiber decal on there and call it light weight durable carbon fiber
