Angry fitment troubles

My damn Saleen kit is warped all to hell from the sun and looks like crap now. Mainly my front bumper. It's an authentic Saleen kit, so its made from polyurathane. My question is... If I go out and get a fiberglass bumper, will I regret it? Everybody says fiberglass is cheap and cracks, but it can't be any worse than what I have now. I reshaped my bumper once with a heat gun, but a few months later and its all deformed again. Anybody out there have good luck with fiberglass kits?:wallbash:

I'm gonna buy a fiberglass front bumper for my car...
And I aint worried about it.

Why?

1. I take extra special care of my car
2. I don't hit curbs extra (although cats and poles are a different story, lol)

You have an 04 and your bumpers should be covered under warrenty from warping like that.
