Default URETHANE OR TRUEFLEX OR WHATEVER????????????

Im going to need a new front nose when I get the car painted. What is the best kind? They are so many different options and good and bad verse both.

Trueflex is fiberglass and will hold it's shape better. If you don't plan on people backing into your nose get it. Working in a downtown area like myself where I have to park on the street would get a urethane one for a bit more flex, althought it won't hold it's shape and will start to get wavy.

I just bought a new front bumper for my '73...the Tru-Flex type but I have not put it on yet. I thought the Tru-Flex were supposed to be more flexible than urethane. :confused:
