Default Quality of fibreglass AU XR Bumper

Has anybody got any comments on the quality of the fibreglass (Fibresports/AWC) AU XR front bumpers.

I am thinking of getting one but I don't want to buy something people regard as rubbish.

Fibreglass is fine, if done right. My understanding is Fibresports are at the better end.

Word for the wise, Fibreglass is not at all forgiving. Slight bumps which would not show on a factory bar will show on a glass bar. I repaint my front bar about every 1.5 years, while the rear gets a do over about every 3. It is probably impacted because of the height somewhat.

I am not concerned though. When it is right, it looks ""Manifik!""
