yep he is right and unless you have a 4x4 civic then you better buy polyurethane cause fiberglass on a lowered civic will crack at the first pot whole. polyurethane is really flexable like your oem bumpers but, if i was you i would keep your stock ones buy a lip kit and save the money and put it into another portion of the car cuase i think body kits look........how do i say this the right way......oh yeah
LIKE CRAP! but its your car and you have your own taste so no offence

well i have to say i had fiberglass front ends for 6 years.......i only cracked it once and it was raining out and i was a hardass.......so if u can drive a car and be careful buy a fiberglass kit but don't buy cheap it won't fit and will be thin...

fiberglass looks cheap to me.

its easy if youg et a decent kit. your average backyard mechanic could install one in an hour or less.
