no it's not a fiberglass. it's authentic greddy lip that's made out of polyurethane... but greddy makes it lot more harder then other companys i guess... the guy that my lip cracked i thought he was just making joke but i was kinda shocked...

yea that looks polyurethane to me. if that was fibreglass it wouldn't have cracked that nicely. first time i've seen that lip crack like that though.

Now THAT is crazy! Try getting in touch with Greddy Manufacturers and see if they can send you a replacement for free. Might be a defective item?
