PFRP durability plz help..

Well, I just got a kit from accolade, needed some bondo here and there, but otherwise not much of a problem.

What I WAS wondering though is if PFRP is as flexible as it sounds...? I put some fiberglass underneath in order to reinforce it because it felt like it could crack easily.

I did a search and found this picture vvvvvvv

Can I really do that with my bumper??

You can try! I noticed a little flex in my evo 7 fb when I picked it up. I would not worry about it too much though as long as you get the bumper intact. They have gotten better in their packaging, but whoever delivers it might need a swift kick in the nuts sometimes!!!

Its not that, I have the kit already and was worried it would be destroyed the second I hit a tire on the road or something.

^^^ Yeah, a tire would take a chunk out of it and could possibly crack the entire thing (depending the speed). Accolade ships using Old Dominon Frieght Lines over to my area...

ODFL Fd my stuff up twice! The used Wilson Trucking for my last kit and my last bumper was FedExd and even they phucked the box up and just left it outside of my door so I could not sign for it, but I'm tired of idiots with no courtesy to packages marked FRAGILE. My seibon hood was drop shipped from seibon though with some wierd named company, but accolade should use whichever company that it was! I think the company was named Seko or something like that! It will depend on what and how hard something hits it! It was fine when some dumbazz was playing football in the street and fell into my bumper setting off the alarm. You should be pretty straight though.

I have the Evo 8 FB and i definately can not do that with my front bumper. Mine only had a little bit of flex. As of right now a have many cracks and chips due to rocks and what not. I wish there was one in ABS cause i would be all over it.

I would never try that with my ken style fb. I think it would break. Something about that picture is fishy.
