Couple of questions from an exterior noob

Are there any other non-fiberglass front ends besides Mazda peices? Is it hard to keep paint from chipping off/cracking from fiberglass ones? The roads around here are pretty poor, and I don't know how well a fiberglass bumper will hold up.

Also, I like the C-West "air intake" front bumper. I assume it's fiberglass??? Does anyone have any pics of it on a car, besides the silver one on RX7store.com? How does it look without the full kit?

Thanks

Ings+ and C-West both have PFRP peices available which appear to be very flexible. Dig through the old threads on the Ings+ kit and you'll see pictures showing how flexible PFRP is.
