That cover doesn't even go with the car. I worked in a speed shop and installed several body kits on several different kinds of cars. One thing I will tell you is that if its made of fiberglass it's junk! One, they never ever fit. If they are even close you are lucky. They never come with brackets or fasteners that they really need so they are usually barely hanging on the car. You have to screw them to the car, can you say rust right here please. They rattle because they don't fit right. The first cat you run over the front shatters and good luck fixing it with the pieces you can find to put it back together. Then 5 days later you hit a possum and have to do it all over again. Then you let your girlfriend drive it, mistake, and she pulls up past a curb and finishes it off for you. Hopefully she doesn't hit it hard enough to buckle your front fenders and shove them into the doors so you can't get out or wrinkle the doors getting out.

Urethane is the only way to go. It will take the hits with little damage and not damage the fenders in the process unless you really do a number on it. I put the Xenon kit on my convertible and was being really careful not to pull up close to the curbs which I don't do anyways. It wasn't 3 days after I installed it I mis-judged by 2 inches and the bottom of the air dam went up over the parking block. Luckily it was urethane, it flexed and it just scuffed the clear coat on the bottom. If it had been fiberglass it would have been all over. There is a guy here in town with an eclipse with a fiberglass front. He had repaired it 3 times in the last year. It takes him 3 months to save up enough money to fix it and have it repainted each time. Well, that was more than my nickels worth.
