The style is different and there is barely no advantage.

yeah urethane is longer lasting cause if you bump a curb or parking bumper, or an old lady with a shopping cart, you wont have to get fiberglass work done O.o

but from what ive been gathering urethane isnt as common as fiberglass.

actually the cheaper ones you usually see are ABS plastic, not fiberglass. its why they're cheaper, abs plastic costs the same as dirt. if you can find urethane though go with that. the corners of my abs mugen lip cracked like eggs on this little snowbank. you can bend urethane alot more and its fine
