Default Lip question

Quick question, I'm looking thru ebay, and I'm a little confused, Is it ABS plastic, or the Poly that is flexible like a rubber?

I just don't want to scrape, or hit something minor and the lip getting cracked, or destroyed. I'm done seeing my friends spend all kinds of money on carbon fiber, only to throw them away when they hit something.

Thanks.

Urethane is what you're looking for, I believe.

I have had my urethane from lip for about 4 months, and all it has are really minor scratches..

Correct.

When I ordered mine from JDMshit, it came bent in half. Left if by the fireplace for a bit and it went right back to normal.

yup. poly urethane. most of those comes packaged in a box half of the size of the lip. you open it up and it springs out lol. my buddy put his lip in the tub and basically took a hot bath with it to straighten it.

Polyurethane is where its at I have both front and rear ones on my EJ8 and I love them! If you get one just be sure that you dont try to bend it back to shape forcefully, or your gonna mess it up. Put it near a heat source and let it take back to its natural shape. I have hit many things with mine and have yet to break it. I have been through two..... only because thieves EXPLETIVE suck!!!
