I doubt that there is an urethene fronts that can be easily acquired in the US.
JIC- Fiberglass, AC- fg, T&E- fg, kaminari, fg.

How about Carbon fiber? There's a cf bumper available at GTP.

Not all fiberglass is created equal - a well-built kit should hold up really well, but a kit that uses cheap fiberglass and construction will have problems.

Very unlikely you'll find a company making a urethane kit - it's cheap to produce in VERY large volume, but not cost effective for small volume - fiberglass is more cost effective there.

MAYBE some company in Japan makes a urethane kit, but you're gonna PAY like crazy for it.

I'm assuming TRD never made any aero parts for the SC/Soarer?

The '97+ nose is nice, but not cool enough/different enough to be worth a whole changeout, IMHO.
