I spoke to a body shop guy about fitting my fiberglass front lip to my bumper.
He says that it is a problem if it is FG. He says fiber glass wil break as the plastic bumper will flex.
Is this true...
Has anybody had such problems...

i wanted a lasting fixture, im really not sure what ways exist to fit the lip to the bumper...

Just to clarify, the lip kit itself WILL NOT crack when mounted to a plastic/urethane bumper as a result of flexing. The kit is sturdy enough so that this won't happen. If the kit is molded/bondoed to the bumper, the seal b/w the kit and the bumper CAN crack... but if prepared properly this won't happen simply from daily driving. I hope that makes sense.
