its fiberglass with plastic fibers in it, but it is still fiberglass at the end of the day and still will crack.

Should be pretty sturdy with a premier clear bra.

No offense but no matter what material the bumpers are made of they will crack if they are hit (urethane, purum, fiberglass, carbon fiber).
I actually tore my oem factory front bumper going over a parking block going 5mph. i guess it comes down to really how you take care of the car.
Just put a quality clear bra and you are pretty much all set.

First I actually own the 997 Techart GT Street Kit. Its a big improvement over the last Techart Front Bumper I had on my 996.
Regarding Vorsteiner parts; yes I actually have direct experience with Vorsteiner products. I had their csl trunk, csl front bumper, and csl front hood on my m3 before. I will never go with a carbon fiber, fiberglass type or frp front bumper ever again.
Same thing with my last Techart Front Bumper for my Porsche 996 Widebody. I must have repainted it 3 times.
Go with abs plastic or urethane if you can.
