'82 Bumpers
Sorry to ask the question again (I briefly saw a thread on this earlier but cannot find it now)...
I want to replace the front and rear bumpers on my '82 and am unsure which to get:
OEM Urathane
Corvette Central TruFlex
Fiberglass
I was originally planning on fiberglass, but two of the body shops that I stopped in tried to steer me away fearing that speed bumps in parking lots out here would damage the 'glass.
Now I'm not sure what to do. Thoughts?

Urethane is the best, and the most expensive!!
Fiberglass bumpers are the cheapest and stays looking nice much longer, but if you touch it at "1/3"MPH it will crack and cost a lot to fix.
The flex stuff is somewhere in between
