Default Civic Bumper Material - 94 Hatch?

What are the front and rear skins made of? ABS plastic or urethane or what? Anyone aware? I've got a small crack in the rear bumper that I need to get a repair kit for and I want to make sure I know what it is before purchasing.

Thanks!

IIRC '96-'00 Civic bumpers are made of polypropylene. On the inside of the bumper you'll see a mark that says <PP>.

Not sure about '92-'95 Civics, but it wouldn't shock me if they were made of the same.

Well, you should see some mark that says what it is. A lot of parts have marks like that. Just Google what it means.

Is this a "asians can't drive" joke?
