are those the only two made of polyurethane? carlsson and lorinser are just fiberglass? the stock amg kit on my 430 already cracked because it got caught on a parking stop cement block...if that's supposed to be the stronger of the kits, i'm having second thoughts about a carlsson and lorinser kit...

Injected molded plastic parts (the cheapest to make) can flex more than a cheap polyester resin fiberglass mat part, but the paint must also have a flex agent in it.
A properly fabricated composite part consisiting of any or all of S-Glass, carbon, and kevlar would be the best, and would take an impact. Thats why racing sportscar body parts are mostly made this way. The carbon or S-Glass has a high tensile strength and the kevlar gives the flexablity.
