The front end of my corvette is FRP and I scrape the bottom of it quite often. The only damage is some scrapes in the paint. I would say if you are going with an authentic kit, it should be fine, but copy cats, I wouldn't trust. (not to mention you spend more on body work trying to make them fit correctly than if you had bought the real parts to begin with)
