Default CF better that FG?

I'm ready to get my aero package but don't know whether to get CF or FG. Look is not an issue here, I like both. What is important to me is durability. I drive 32 miles a day on a turnpike that pelts my car. I have lots of rock chips. Will CF be more durable? Will CF not show rock chips like FG because the color goes all the way through the product?

I've had my CF kit through the winter and I drive it most of the time to work and it's holding up fine so far.

I know Performance can get'em. I just picked up the Fiberglass kit.

From what I have heard Fiberglass kits are fine. As long as it's good quality. Just like the OEM bumper you need to install a clear bra to help prevent chipping.

assuming both are painted, then the paint can always chip off either one.

I would paint the FG, but leave the CF black

I asked the shop I got it installed and they said it was one of the best they worked with. It's not perfect but definitely didn't need any major work to fit well with the car. The only part that I see not fitting well are the rear skirts. It doesn't wrap around towards the end of it, but you have to look real close to be able to spot it. You can click on the link of my sig and see pics of my car if you want.
