whats the difference between hybrid aero and fiberglass?
The Hybrid Aero is more like a Urethane, only it doesnt loose its shape over time (according to Ings).
I am interested in seeing how the fiberglass version fits.

<----- Fiberglass here
fitment is awesome front and rear but, the side skirts are a little tight and I cracked both of mine (after they were on, not during install) right where the sideskirts wrap around the front wheel well right in the seam of the corner
nothing major I just have to take them off and seal it buff and repaint
no biggie

Hybrid Aero is still a fiberglass composite. However, they use urethane in the process in some way that makes the fiberglass more flexible. It is still not as flexable as urethane. It is also a little lighter than the fiberglass version I believe.
We haven't seen the fiberglass version in person (haven't had anyone order it from us), but from my experience with the Hybrid Aero it's worth the extra $$$. We installed the kit and that extra bit of flex really makes it a lot easier (which saves you time if you're doing it yourself and $$$ if a body shop is doing it). And I like the extra peace of mind I get from having a little more give in the material.
Because it is still mostly fiberglass it will DEFINITELY not sag like urethane will.
I'm not saying that the FRP version isn't good. I'm sure the fittment and quality is up there with all of the other top-notch Ings kits. Just saying that to me the extra money is worht it for the Hybrid
