Does anyone have a Duraflex front bumper?

Are they as flexible as they advertise?

It's just a plastic infused fiberglass as for flexibility urethane will be alot more flexible and durable overall but fiberglass is easily repaired and can handle quite a bit of abuse as well. I have a full fiberglass aero kit on my mr-s and my front lip has taken some hits from stuff in the road.

I don't have duraflex, but I do have Wings West urethane all the way around. My front bumper survived without any cracks a pretty major collision involving a large curb. Based on all the other damage, I was super impressed. Seems like Urethane is the way to go.
