Abs is hard plastic that will crack and break.. Poly-u is like rubbermade.. it will bend but pop back under most circumstances.. thats why poly-u costs so much more.

wrong wrong and wrong

your oem bumper is ABS, FAKE TAIWAN so called ABS will crack.

urtherane will not pop back if you ram it home hard enough, it will tear if you mention to put it thru beating.

http://www.greddy.com/
here's the site if ya'll wanna check it out click on aero parts, from there select the accord. So if it isn't poly-urethane why would they say it is.
Meantime i'm gonna call and get me some info.

Looks like most everyone agrees that polyurethane is better than abs.
