Default abs plastic?

Since is almost impossible to find an OEM front lip for integras, I was thinking about getting one made of abs plastic. Does anyone have experience with these lips? Do they crack easy, does paint adhere to them properly, will they hold up to cold weather? etc... thanks

I think factory lips are made from abs plastic. My lip is abs plastic and it seems to be a little more brittle than the polyurethane one I had. No problem with paint or cold weather, I think it's actually more durable but not as flexable.

Why don't you just get a urethane lip from comptech?

i can't get the one made by comptech because i live in Canada and it would cost almost as much as the factory OEM lip to bring over here! The factory lip cost $650cdn(non painted) at the acura dealership.
