Feed Front Bumper and whats the differences between fiber glass and FRP?

Does anyone know where I can get one of these for a good price and made out of good quality? Also, does it require the 99spec rebar to fit the bumper, or can I just keep using the stock USDM one?

I really never understood the differences between Fiber Glass and FRP. Just how much stronger is FRP than fiber glass?

You'll find a FEED bumper replica here... it's as good as the original if not better to tell you the truth!

FRP is Fiber Re-enforced Plastic. In other words: Resin with fibers in it.
FRP = fiberglass.

FRP = Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic. The two terms are interchangable, as fiberglass in this context is just glass fibers embedded in some sort of resin matrix (plastic). Another equivalent term is GRP or GFRP Glass (Fiber) Reinforced Plastic.
