what is frp
ok i already put on my flame suit and its all zipped up and ready to go ]
now im about to buy an frp bumper and im curious to what difference this has compared to a regular fiber class body kit that were made like 5 years ago and cracked if you looked at it wrong and how resistant to damage is it, say if i pull up to far on one of the concrete parking barriers and scrape the ^$% out of it (my car is lowered) is it easily cracked ?
from my research i have a general idk of what it is kinda but im looking for real world damage on strength and cracking ect

FRP
Wiki Article on FRP
In simple terms, ALL composite products, which are usually manufactured using a matrix of resins (polymer) & fabrics (fibers), are considered to be FRP (Fiber-Reinforced-Plastic or Polymer). This includes fiberglass, carbon, and Kevlar (aramid) made products.
They are considered to be “thermosets,” meaning, as the product fully cures and hardens through thermo (heat) reaction, the shape of the products are “set.” They cannot be “re-heated” to reform or reshape. This is an opposite characteristic of “thermoform” products, such as polyurethane, where the materials can be re-heated to re-form its shape.
