My experience with urethane bumpers is that over the years they droop and sag. I have also seen paint (quality paint) peeling off as well. Any input on these issues?

They droop because not enough support, some body shop they didnt bolt them right.
Urethane is heavier and they move more than fiber glass, but you have to keep in your mind that our oem bumper made of urethane too. Manufacture installed it rightly, how long can that front bumper last ?

Quality paint, will not stick to urethane, u have to use adhesive paint-promoter. Like a product called "Bulldog"
Use that the paint will grab it, like your girlfriend does with your wallet.

I agree.. the air scoop is cool.. functional i guess but not really needed, the part that hangs down and is visible anyway, plus is will look cleaner without it.
