not as durable as urethane, but more durable than fiberglass.

Mr. Thunderlips

Have you ever handled a plastic spoon or knife? It is the same material.

Aernt the stock sideskirts made of ABS plastic??

my old oem civic lip(abs plastic) was crushed up so I just put it in the sun for about a few hours and like urethane, it eventually regain it's orginal shape. abs plastic is great for body kits.

No, OEM stuff is constructed of polyurethane. Aka urethane.

Thanks for clearing that up for me...for some reason I always thought the stock skirts and mirrors were made of ABS. Hmm..guess you learn something new every day!

Well, the mirrors are plastic. But the sideskirts are urethane.

That's right, it is. I never thought of that. The plastic ultensils that break when you flex it hard enough, not the super flexible ones.

abs plastic is a different animal. much more pliable than regular plastic.

Plastic is not an animal. It is plastic.

Actually 96-98 2dr and 4 dr mite be the same but there is a slite difference in the 99-00 2dr 4dr . The 96-98 goes in and straight down and the 99-00 goes in the n back out... its hard to explain but if u see it ull know what i mean

dubdeuce

Well since urethane is better than ABS plastic, does anybody know of a company that makes urethane Type R or Mugen front/rear lips?
