any knock-off......
Sorry, but for the most part I daily drive my Z with it's Vertex kit and I don't have any issues with it. I've even curbed the front while parking. I've even scraped the shiet out it when I bottomed out and hit a dip in the road. Sure there were some scratches and even a bit of a gouge on the lower part thats not really visible, but no cracks.
If you want an authentic that's not completely FRP check out Ings+1 Hybrid material. My old Ings+1 N-Spec kit fit like a glove with no issues driving around town.

What he ^ said. INGS makes their kits avaliable in either FRP or a hybrid polyurethane. Thats the only other one i know of.
Replicas can be had in poly, but i wouldnt get them in that unless fittment was perfect. Poly is harder to work on and i believe the paint prep process is also harder as well. Not to mention, fiberglass can be easily and cheaply repaired whereas poly is much harder and more expensive because FRP can be patched, and i think poly can only be heat treated for dents/damage. If the poly rips or tears, you will need a new bumper.

I still have an old Msa type 7 (poly) front bumper just in case my current one eats **** . Its completely polyurethane and and very durable. Polyurethane is quite a b1tch to destroy thats why i like it. Too bad there are not many front bumpers made of this stuff.
I was hoping someone made a nismo version 2, a vertex, or the DAMD (with fog lights version)
too bad no seems to make any of these of this material.
if someone does I will definately get one. I have found the nismo version 2 made completely in carbon fiber though
