Rear Bumper

I'm looking for a new rear bumper for my '84. Does anyone know the difference between the flex-fit, urethane, and fiberglass bumpers? Does one fit better than the others? Does one hold its shape longer than the others? Also, where is the best place to get them from? Thanks in advance for help.

Not sure about C4's but on a C3 since the car is fiberglass, paint on a fiberglass bumper will weather the same as the car. With the urethane bumpers there can be a noticable difference in color after a while. However, the urethane bumper is a bit more forgiving if it gets tapped, the fiberglass has no give at all, it cracks.

Here is a pic of my 84. It has the fiberglass zr1 style bumper from ecklers. I bought it used and it fits great.
