I know that this bumper is fiberglass, and what Im wondering is, how durable is it. And, is there anything you can do to increase its strength, like mabey silicon the back of it or something. Thanks

No fiberglass is really durable, there are pics of people that have bottomed out and their bumpers and trashed. I know there are posts about reinforcing bumpers, but I myself don't know anything about it. Do a search for "fiberglass" in the current and archived messages, you should be able to find something.

I would take a Street Weapons strength any day over a Andys Auto Sport front strength. I would highly reccommend just layering glass behind the bumper to reinforce it some more! Its really easy and makes a world of difference.

The Drift Kit is much better than the andy's autosport dragon z as far as quality goes. We just added online ordering to our site last night and have the drift kit for $419 plus shipping through july 31

However, I can say, knowing the new manufacturer, you have nothing to worry about.. the old Drift was built solid, and I know the new maker will definately make it strong.

real durable?? i wouldnt trust mine bumpin into a person at 3mph.
the one i got is pretty damn thin, once i ever get it all figured out with the shipping company, i would definitely put some more layers of fiberglass on the inside or else some type of silicone. i can see light through mine pretty easily.
